This year I took admission to the MTech program at IIEST Shibpur. Next year, can I use the same GATE score to transfer to an MTech at a better institute? If so, will my GATE scholarship be continued?
Yes, you can take admission even after two years in any other college or university as now GATE score is valid for 3 years. But few colleges keep the GATE scorecard until the course finishes. So if this is your case then you can leave or cancel the course and you will get your scorecard back. But when you take admission in any new college or university, you have to start again from 1st year. You cannot continue from where you left at your previous college.
Also, you should note that now adding an Aadhaar card to the GATE portal is mandatory so that they can track you if you qualify for GATE again and take admission with the new score.
If I have offer from both IIIT Bangalore and NIT Trichy for MTech CSE which will be a good option to choose?
If you have offers from all the mentioned institutes, then firstly I would like to congratulate you for achieving such a feat. Many students fail to get offers from any one of these institutes, and here you are sitting at the top of your game. Congratulations!
When it comes to choosing the best option among these three, I would suggest that you choose NIT Trichy. The reputation of NIT Trichy as one of the best NITs is by far one of the driving forces of students choosing this institution. The CSE department of NIT Trichy has a curriculum that has been developed to meet the industry needs of the students. You will get to learn multiple programming languages as well as be able to use them on multiple projects. You will be encouraged to develop new software. There are instances where students become entrepreneurs on the campus and pitch their projects and software to investors.
What should be my strategy for getting admission in IIT Bombay for an MTech in the CSE branch?
One of my friends made it into IISc with a rank of 10. I enquired about the strategy he adopted to score such high marks. He told me about his 3 milestone theories and the things he achieved on the way. The final outcome is 75 marks in GATE which will help you get CSE in IIT Bombay.
1st Milestone: The first and foremost goal you should set is to achieve 25 marks in GATE. This can be done by working on some basic mathematics, aptitude, and core subjects. This can be done from
the college itself. Try to secure 25 marks in the final year on the first attempt and once you are done move to the second milestone.
2nd milestone: You have to achieve another 25 marks to make it 50. I suggest not taking a gap to prepare for this. This can be done over the 2 years after your graduation during which you can take up an IT job and increase your work experience. This will be useful during placements at IIT Bombay.
To achieve this milestone, read some more core mathematics, and cover 3–4 core subjects previous 25 marks revision. If you are able to secure 50 marks over the next couple of attempts, you don’t have to worry much as you can get admission in any IIT.
3rd milestone: If you want those additional 25 marks take help from some professionals and seniors.
My friend got a 10 rank after working on this strategy and he is working at Microsoft today.
How are the placements for M Tech Mechanical students in IIT Kanpur?
You will find both core and non-core opportunities in all departments at IIT Kanpur. Mostly Analytic roles are offered to students of all departments. These roles and packages depend on your own caliber and not on the branch you belong to.
Core roles are also offered to Mechanical Engineering students at IIT Kanpur. These roles are given on the basis of your academic performance and your knowledge base pertaining to the specific branch. But it’s important to know that core roles offered are very fewer in number than non-core jobs.
It’s recommended that you prepare for both. After all, some Analytics roles just evaluate you for your aptitude.
Does IIEST Shibpur provide a good placement for M.Tech?
No, it is more or less the same as a bachelor's. Not just at IIEST Shibpur, the scenario of placements for Masters is more or less the same at every institute in India.
If you pursuing Masters then you should keep your aim straight to get a Company related to your branch or pursuing higher studies (Ph.D.) for the teaching line. B.Tech level hiring is more or less the same in M.Tech at the institute. There are some departments in M.Tech which have a moderate placement. The other departments do not offer good placement opportunities. But at IIEST Shibpur you will get the best learning opportunities.
At last, it is up to you only which field you are choosing. If you want a job then go for it with for B.Tech degree, If you want a purely technical job then go for a master's and if you want an academic line then go for further higher studies i.e. Ph.D. from abroad.
Does IIEST Shibpur provide good placement for M.Tech?
As a former Civil student at IIEST, my answer especially concerns my branch.
Before pursuing an M.Tech, you must keep your aim straight. It should either be to work in a design company, or opt for a Phd. This is because B.Tech is a much better degree if your aim is to get placed with a good package.
The placements for B.Tech are much better than M.Tech, at IIEST Shibpur. Some M.Tech departments offer decent placements, while others aren’t even average in this respect. But the teaching is really good for all departments.
My answer isn’t very particular, but I tried to give you a general idea of the placement scenario for M.Tech at IIEST.
