How is IIT Guwahati for an MTech in mechanical?

IIT Guwahati is one of the premier institutes in India for engineering and its MTech program in mechanical engineering is considered to be of high quality, with a strong faculty, good infrastructure, and a well-rounded curriculum. The program is also known for its research-oriented approach, which allows students to work on cutting-edge projects and gain hands-on experience.

MTech Mechanical has 5 specializations, namely

• Fluid-Thermal
• Machine Design
• CAM
• Aerodynamics
• Computational mechanics

My knowledge is only limited to Fluid and Thermal although all other specializations have similar scenarios.

• Placements: The placement scenario is decent with 60-70% placements and an average package of around INR 8 to 9 LPA in the core field. 
• Higher Education: For those interested in research or higher education an MTech from an old IIT is better. The older the IIT, the stronger connections its professors will have. Ph.D. is all about connections. IIT Guwahati is a perfect choice with extensive research going on in the CFD area. 
• Preparing for ESE/ UPSC Exams: Irrespective of the IIT you belong to, you will have very less time to prepare for entrance exams. 

Overall, IT Guwahati is a great choice for those interested in pursuing an MTech in mechanical engineering.
