Is IIT Dhanbad good for an M.Tech in the ECE department?
The two deciding factors in this case are the studies and placements. IIT Dhanbad offers M.Tech ECE in VLSI, RF and Microwave Engineering, Communications, and Photonics. RF and Microwave Engineering is a good but difficult option.
The faculty for VLSI and Communications is good. However, the Photonics faculty is not good at all. 2-3 subjects and labs are common for all ECE students. However, the curriculum for RF and Microwave is entirely different from the other three.
The placement scenario for ECE isn’t good. Very few students are placed from the department, that too in non-core jobs. Those who are well-versed in programming get easily placed in IT firms.
Core companies like Texas, Intel, Amdocs, etc. visit the campus for recruitment. However, they recruit very few students (sometimes none) from the department. Some students do secure internships at firms like Intel. But for final placements, they have to undergo screening once again. The placements are nil in RF. But some universities visit the campus seeking Assistant Professors. They offer good starting packages.
If you get VLSI at NIT Surathkal/Trichy/Warangal, choose that over IIT Dhanbad. The placement for VLSI is very good at these colleges. As for IIT Dhanbad, it offers a very decent M.Tech ECE. The main advantage in this case is the ‘IIT’ tag.
Is there a possibility of doing a PhD abroad after an MTech from IIT Guwahati or IIT Hyderabad?
Yes, it’s possible to pursue a Ph.D. from a foreign university after an MTech from IIT Guwahati or IIT Hyderabad. However, you have to choose your MTech guide very carefully as the recommendations of professors are very necessary for Ph.D. from a foreign university. Many professors have excellent connections in universities abroad and these recommendations are highly useful to make your career smooth.
In order to determine which professors have such backgrounds and connections, contact the students who have already done their MTech under them.
How is an M.Tech cryogenic engineering interview at IIT Kharagpur?
My friend received a call in Cryogenic on the basis of her GATE score in the Instrumentation exam. The entire interview lasted for 12 minutes. The panelists initially cross-checked the GATE score with her and then began the interview.
They asked her where she hailed from and then posed a number of technical questions like
- What motivated you to do research in Cryogenic?
- What is the use of Instrumentation in Cryogenic technologies?
- How are acoustic impedances compensated in industrial-type measurements?
- What is the importance of the Gauge factor in low-temperature measurements?
- What fuels are used for Oxidation in engines?
- What was your final year project?
Based on her experience, the maximum questions were based on her research work only so you need to prepare well in the same.
IIT Delhi Mtech Computer Technology vs IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE. Which is better for placements in product based software companies?
Both IIT Delhi MTech Computer Technology and IIT Hyderabad Mtech CSE are excellent engineering programs. However, my personal suggestion is IIT Delhi Ctech. Here’s why
- IIT Delhi offers the best opportunities considering its rank in the top 3 IITs
- IIT Delhi holds the Institute of Eminence Status
- The brand value of IIT Delhi is much higher than the new IIT Hyderabad.
- IIT Delhi being old has a very beautiful campus with great natural beauty. IIT Hyderabad on the other hand has a newly established campu that is still under construction.
- A few major companies don’t visit new IITs like IIT Hyderabad. IIT Delhi, on the other hand, is visited by top IT companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, Ola, Uber, Tower Research, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc
The only disadvantage you might face at IIT Delhi Is the intense competition with CS students as they are all top rankers.
I don’t mean to demean IIT Hyderabad but it’s a fact that the opportunities and exposure that IIT Delhi will offer cannot be compared to IIT Hyderabad.
Is it worth doing Mtech in ECE from the new IIT's like Jodhpur, Mandi or Bhubaneswar?
Yes, IIT Mandi offers a good curriculum, infrastructure, and placement for M.Tech programs, though they are newly associated. For ECE, IIT Mandi had only Communication and Signal Processing before but has started Power Electronics and Drives, and VLSI streams recently.
Key Highlights:
- In the Signal processing stream, image processing, digital signal processing, speech processing, and random processes are covered. On the communication side, information theory, and analog-digital communication concepts are discussed.
- IIT Mandi has its own well-equipped communication lab, with national instrument kits 2920/ 2921, lab-view, and a lot more useful simulators and instruments. Image and speech processing requires algorithm development which is done using MATLAB. IIT Mandi has accommodation of its own High-Performance Cluster (HPC) for high-computing tasks.
- Students from M.Tech programs usually get internship opportunities in R&Ds mostly.
- From the perspective of placement, most internships are converted into per-placement offers.
- In an addition, IIT Mandi has excellent weather throughout the year, with amazing natural beauty.
So, it can be concluded that M.Tech ECE at IIT Mandi can be considered as a good option for students.
How is M.Tech in Rural Technology at IIT Guwahati?
Center for Rural Technology department offers MTech in Rural Technology program. This program is usually taught by professors of the Department of Design, Chemical, Mechanical, and Bio-Science. So whether you will like this program or not depends on your prior interests and background.
This program will keep you busy with excellent practical projects that will broaden your knowledge base and enhance your research exposure. Moreover, all the projects are sponsored and funded by external agents like DST. You can get a good research center with maximum effort. Placements might be better if you have a good project up your sleeve.
Usually, the Design department has excellent placements so you don’t have to worry much. The placement percentage for CRT in 2022 was 12.5%.
What would be better option for me: ECE at NIT Durgapur or a Bachelor's of Technology/Master's of Technology dual degree at IIEST, Shibpur?
I did my dual degree in Aerospace Engineering from IIEST. I will list down the comparison points between an ECE from NIT Dgp and a DD (Aerospace Engineering) from IIEST-
- Placement opportunities are much brighter for ECE in India. This is because there are very few core companies for Aerospace Engineers over here.
- IT companies prefer ECE students over Aerospace students. Also, R&D jobs are difficult to grab for B.Tech/DD students.
- Both are Tier 2 colleges and offer almost the same facilities. JU has better facilities than both of them.
- A dual degree from IIEST isn’t a great option. Rather, try to pursue your PG from a TIER-1 college.
- If you do good research work in your B.Tech, you’ll have better chances of pursuing your Masters from a Tier-1 college/ foreign university.
Try to figure out what interests you more. My personal recommendation is that you pursue B.Tech ECE from NIT Durgapur.
Is it worth it to complete an M.Tech. from IIT Indore?
Here, your hard work matters more if you are highly determined and strive enough in your studies by utilizing the facilities offered at IIT Indore. Then it is worth completing an M.Tech. with high grades. In most colleges, post-graduation is a self-learning process, and the professors from IIT Indore will support you with effective guidance. They also have the best placement support, and IITI is advancing every year.

How is an MTech in civil engineering at IIT, Dhanbad?
IIT(ISM) Dhanbad has two branches in the Civil Engineering department namely Structural Engineering and Environmental Science and Engineering.
Structural Engineering has learned and experienced faculty but the infrastructure and lab facilities are still lacking. A few core companies like L&T come for recruitment drives. The workload is considered less so you will get ample amount of time for preparation for UPSC.
M.Tech in Environmental Science and Engineering is one of the oldest branches which is the Centre of Mining Environment. There are many highly qualified professors in this discipline with well-equipped laboratories certified by ISO. The department has more than 90 Research and Development projects and more than 250 consultancy.
