Is VNIT, Nagpur good for an MTech?

When opting for an M.Tech, one wishes to acquire more knowledge than our B.Tech counterparts. Apart from that, one thinks about placements, and the amount of time and effort required for teaching assistantship. 

Except for a few specializations in Civil, ECE and CSE, VNIT fails to impart adequate knowledge, good placements and proper Phd. preparation for M.Tech students. As a result, most of us are forced to work in academia on a contract basis. 

Moreover, VNIT is located in the outskirts. For making purchases, one has to go to the downtown area of Sitabuldi. This is highly inconvenient for hostelites. The mess food is of poor quality, and campus gates are shut post 10 pm. 

The monthly stipend is very less when compared to the hostel and academic fee. Especially for the first two semesters, one has to depend on our parents for fee payment. On top of this, the hostel fee increases by 10% every year. 

Some M.Tech specializations are good at VNIT. But in that case too, other factors go against this college. Thus, I won’t recommend VNIT Nagpur for an M.Tech.
