How is the social life of a MS/MTECH student at IIT Madras?
The word “social life” barely exists in the dictionary of an MS/MTech student at IIT Madras. They spent their time holed up in labs. But some don’t want to miss out on campus life and leave no opportunity to have fun.
I have seen M.Tech students go to CFI, and participate in most events and talks like EMLs, TechSoc, LitSoc, Sports, Gym, Swimming, Art, volunteer, and some are even part of Shaastra, Saarang team.
These events are one kind of life experience and missing out on them means you are missing a major part of your college experience. Make sure you take breaks between the extensive research work and manage your time well in such a way that you can balance both extracurriculars and lab work. You will have a lot of time on your hand during vacations so make the most of it.
Which is better for an MTech in electrical engineering, NIT Trichy or IIT Guwahati?
The choice of the institute for pursuing an MTech in Electrical Engineering depends on what you want from your Masters.
- For those on the lookout for placements, NIT Trichy has a good placement scenario, especially for Electrical Engineering. They are even better than some well-known IITs in M.Tech, especially Power Systems.
- However, if you are willing to pursue a career in research after MTech (Ph.D.) then you will have to give great importance to the choice of the institute. An IIT is best suitable for prospective Ph.D. holders as they have global recognition too.
Ultimately, the better institute is a matter of preferences and career prospects.
Do IIT Guwahati M.Tech (computational mechanics) students get placed?
Yes, students of IIT Guwahati MTech Computational Mechanics get placed in both core and non-core companies with decent packages. These students are allowed to sit for almost every core company that visits the IIT Guwahati campus. In Fact, there are many companies that prefer CM students over students from other branches.
The placement percentage is around 60–70% considering placement statistics of the past few years. There are many students who embark on a career in research through Ph.D. in foreign universities. Getting recommendations from IIT Guwahati’s professors will make your OhD easier.
IIT tag will fetch you jobs off campus too, so don’t worry, you will end up with a job either way.

Instead of believing in others, it's better to visit the institute personally and see for yourself if it suits your expectations or not.
- You can prepare for exams in your free time and also for the PSU interview.
- You will become more determined and strong when you leave the institute

How is the industrial power and automation for an M.Tech at NIT Calicut?
NIT Calicut Industrial Power and Automation branch is a perfect mix of Electrical Engineering and Instrumentation/Automation. It comprises important elements of both fields and is a great choice for students interested in the field.
- However, if your primary goal is to get placed , then you have come to the wrong place. Most companies visit NIT Calicut to recruit BTech students and they are given preference to MTech students. A few exceptional cases get placed in huge firms though.
- The faculty pool is very small and the most highly regarded professor of the branch is Dr Ashok S.
- The branch has excellent lab facilities and is therefore a great choice for research enthusiasts. The IPA labs are highly advanced labs with modern equipment. The labs have PLC, SCADA, DCS, VFD, BLDC setup, and DSP setups too.
