My brother goes to NIT Calicut so I can give you some insight into their M.Tech VLSI and EDT course. Here are the glimpses of the placement record for the year 2020.
Parameters | MTech Microelectronics and VLSI Design | MTech Electronics Design Technology |
Highest CTC offered | INR 21.5 LPA | INR 21.5 LPA |
Average CTC offered | INR 16.4 LPA | INR 16.7 LPA |
Lowest CTC offered | INR 6.8 LPA | INR 9 LPA |
The average CTC offered to both of these programs is almost similar. Also, the course has a good ROI. M.Tech Microelectronics and VLSI Design is in great demand and it is turning out to be one of the best courses at NIT Calicut.
Thapar University is one of the oldest and renowned universities in the country. Pursuing M.Tech is a really good choice and it is one of the leading names in the education industry.

Overall, it is a good option. The placements are really good. The students get placed by big firms and receive great packages.
ISI Kolkata is a great option for pursuing an M.Tech in Computer Science. You will have great opportunities in Data Science and R&D. If you plan on doing a Ph.D. in Cryptography, this is the best course within India.
ISI Kolkata M.Tech CSE placement profiles for 2020-21 included 19 Data Scientist profiles, 1 Machine Learning Software Engineering profile, and 3 consultant profiles.
As evident by the placement highlights, ISI Kolkata is a great option for Data Science job roles. But if you are interested in job roles like Software Engineer then joining IISc or IIT will be better.
BITS Pilani Work Integrated MTech program is for experienced professionals who want to upgrade their knowledge in the same field. Usually, the company asks you to pursue this program or you yourself want to expand your skills.
This course is not a good choice if you are seeking a career in academics or are willing to switch fields or companies. But if you want to climb the hierarchy in the same organization and improve your job prospects then the program is the one for you.
The program will be a unique experience and expand your knowledge base efficiency although the degree itself might not be very useful.
The course fee for M.Tech at NIT Calicut varies depending on several factors, such as the specialization you choose, your category (General/OBC/SC/ST), and the mode of admission (GATE/non-GATE).
For GATE-qualified candidates, the fee for M.Tech is generally around Rs. 70,000-80,000 per year for the General/OBC category and around Rs. 20,000-30,000 per year for SC/ST category.
For non-GATE candidates, the fee is generally higher, around Rs. 1,20,000-1,50,000 per year for the General/OBC category and around Rs. 70,000-80,000 per year for SC/ST category.
However, it is always advisable to check the official website of NIT Calicut or contact the institute directly for the latest and most accurate fee structure for M.Tech courses.
You will not find an answer to this particular query anywhere. This is because IISc Bangalore and all the IITs release score-based GATE cutoffs for admissions into the M.Tech program. These cut-offs are not rank-based.
However, the most favorable chances for you are if your All India GATE rank is above AIR 50. This is not the case for all M.Tech branches at IISc Bangalore but for most of them.
Here is the branch-wise GATE cutoff for admissions into the M.Tech program at IISc Bangalore (General Category)-

These are the IISc Bangalore score-wise GATE cutoffs for the most sought-after streams in M.Tech.
It’s true that MTech in CSE has lesser scope and opportunities than BTech in CSE as companies are looking for freshers who can give it their all and work passionately. Also, the obsolete PG curriculum is responsible for the declining figures. IIT Ropar MTech in CSE placements have been tabulated below

My brother pursued his MS in Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras back in 2016 and these are some of his experiences for the overall MS program offered at IIT Madras-
Though not specific to the Mechanical branch, I hope this information about the MS program at IIT Madras helped you gain important insights regarding the same.
The campus life is great for both BTech and MTech students at NIT Surathkal. The campus is beautiful providing all necessary amenities. The frequent events and activities conducted on campus make life more vibrant here. The best part is that this is the only college with a private beach. You can always come here to release your stress. The campus always has a pleasant climate and also enjoys good connectivity. Mangalore and Udupi are reachable within an hour.
Placements for MTech are good, especially for branches like ECE and CSE. For other branches, the situation is not very good like any other. Additionally, there are many technocultural events for intellectual development. So choose wisely after considering all factors.
