How is the MTech (CSE) program in Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata? What are the placement stats for an MTech (CSE)?
Heritage Institute of Technology is a very popular and reputed engineering institute and provides very good facilities to its students. According to the reviews online, here’s what I got to know.
- This college is very good to pursue B.Tech in CSE but not a good option to do M.Tech in CSE.
- And this is not only for CS, but for all other departments.
- Although the faculty and the academics are very good in this college, the placements for M.Tech are not upto the mark and it is better not to choose this college to pursue M.Tech.
- To do M.Tech, it will be better to do it from IIT but you will have to appear for GATE exams to get admission in IITs.
- And do note that you will have to be in the top 1000 in GATE to get selected for M.Tech courses at IIT.
- In West Bengal, there is also Jadavpur University which can also be a very good option to pursue M.Tech in CSE.
- You can also appear for the examination PGET and if you can clear this exam, then you will be eligible to take admission in any government engineering college under WBUT.
Hence, instead of taking admission in Heritage Institute of Technology for M.Tech in CSE, it will be better to prepare for GATE exam and qualify for IIT or else take admission in some other better colleges for M.Tech.
Which is better for an M. Tech. degree in CSE from a placement perspective, IIT Guwahati or IIT Roorkee?
My brother was in a similar dilemma when he had to choose between IIT Guwahati and IIT Roorkee for MTech in CSE. Eventually, he went for IIT Roorkee because his sole focus was to secure a job as soon as possible.
- As far as placements are concerned, IIT Roorkee is better both in terms of the number of companies visiting and the average package.
- The course structure of IIT Roorkee has been recently dated and it is much better than the older one.
- IIT Roorkee is in close proximity to Delhi so you can have a taste of the city life as well.
IIT Guwahati has better research opportunities and culture than IIT Roorkee.
All in all, if it’s a job you are after, IIT Roorkee is the best choice but if you want to pursue a career in research, IIT Guwahati is the best place for you.

How are the placements at NIT Surathkal for an M.Tech in thermal?
In all engineering colleges, BTech students are given more preference than MTech students because they can do the job at a lesser salary than MTech students. Moreover, they are more in number and are ready to grab any role whatsoever. MTech students on the other hand prefer core jobs that align with their academic profile and specific interests. So the placement opportunities offered to Masters students are less. Mostly, they have two options to choose from, academia or corporate.
- Academics: Many institutes offer teaching positions to master students either as a college professor or for the role of an instructor at an Entrance Exam preparation institute, Master students of the Thermal branch are eligible for these roles.
- Corporate: The Mechanical department students are often recruited by companies like GE, Mercedes, Bosch, Yazaki, Alstom, etc. do come for recruitment. The requirements vary each year. In reality, the chances of landing a job as an MTech student at NIT Surathkal depend on the market rather than the institute.
NITK offers a great research culture that instills all the necessary skills. The placements are unpredictable though. Ultimately I will advise you to opt for a Master’s degree only if you are really interested in getting a specialization degree because there is no guarantee you’ll get a job in the end.
