What is better in IIIT Hyderabad, Mtech or MS?
For placements, M.Tech is better than MS. This is because of the huge number of SDE jobs in India. To get good job offers, MS students must devote extra time to practice coding and problem solving.
In terms of exposure, MS is a better course. MS students at IIIT Hyderabad work with cutting-edge technologies and are in touch with the latest developments in their field. For this kind of exposure, M.Tech students need to devote extra time in doing relevant projects.
For Ph.D. aspirants, the research value at a global scale is more for the MS course. In this respect, M.Tech students can either convert to MS after a year or publish relevant research papers for paving their path into the area of research.The faculty is the same for both the courses at IIIT Hyderabad.
Thus, based on your preferences you can either choose M.Tech CSE or MS in CSE in IIIT Hyderabad. It is a renowned institution and will open numerous doors for you after your degree.
After doing neurosurgery in NIMHANS, do we have the opportunity to go to the U.S.A. & do any fellowships or practice there?
I fail to understand why you are considering fellowship or practice options in the USA when India has highly advanced technologies and is at par with the USA. In fact, Neurosurgery is the one and only super-specialty in India that is known to have state-of-the-art faculties and super-advanced sophisticated instruments that are at par with all developed countries.
India now has almost all subspecialties of neurosurgery that are accredited by MCI. Once you complete your neurosurgery residency at NIMHANS, you will have a plethora of opportunities to do fellowships within India itself. Admission to these fellowship programs is based solely on entrance tests followed by an interview
These are the most famous fellowships that are accredited by MCI

How are the PG results of KMC Manipal, Mangalore students?
KMC students perform well in PG entrances. The PG result mainly depends upon individual hard work and MBBS training.
As a student of KMC Manipal, I can shed some light on my institute. The MBBS training offered by this college is really good. The faculty is top-notch, and classes are held regularly. You’ll be offered high clinical exposure.
Many of my seniors have cracked PG entrances right after internship or a year drop. They got into top colleges with the stream of their choice. KMC Manipal is especially a great choice if you plan to move abroad.
Some of the exam questions are based on the USMLE pattern. Also, the college holds seminars to guide students on USMLE preparation. This is why the majority USMLE selects are KMC Manipal alumni.
Thus, KMC is a good choice for your MBBS, and you’ll get ample facilities over here to ace your PG entrances.
Which should I choose: MBA (2 year PGP) from IIM Ahmedabad or MS in computer science from a decent (top 10 & not top 3) US university with funding? What should I consider when choosing?
A friend of mine faced a similar dilemma when he was torn between choosing IIM Ahmedabad (MBA) and Stanford (MS). He went for IIM Ahmedabad in the end. He considered the following factors before making this decision:
-
Geographical factors: If you want to stay in India then MBA from IIM Ahmedabad is the best choice. But if you are certain you want to settle abroad, MS from Stanford is a good choice.
-
Nature of career: Comparing the nature of both the courses, we find that MBA is a general one while MS is specific. MBA is related to business and management while MS is technical. Based on your interests and aspirations one can easily make a choice between the two.
If you are still unable to decide then know that you can pursue MBA in the US even after MS. The latter will offer you more opportunities.
What is the daily schedule of IISC Bangalore MS students?
The schedule is more or less the same for all postgraduate students at IISc.
Some are night owls, while others wake up early each morning. The mess opens between 7:30-9:30 am for breakfast. The classes commence at 8, and run till late the afternoon. So the early risers are the ones who eat their breakfast in the mess.
The schedule of postgraduates is quite hectic over here. Most of them work in the labs till night, after their classes. The canteen of IISc Bangalore is called Prakruti. It is where you’ll find students and professors enjoying their evening tea. It is also the place where geniuses sit and think upon mathematical problems.
Those who finish their work early opt for some outdoor activities in the evening. They play Hockey, TT, Lawn Tennis and Basketball in the Gymkhana. You can even find some professors over there. At night, some postgraduates go for night strolls post dinner, while others are busy working in the labs. Unlike the rest of the city that sleeps after 11pm, the IISc campus is awake at all hours.
This question does not have a single answer, so I tried answering for every kind of postgraduate student on this campus.
How is the MS for Computer Science at IIT Indore (faculty, placements, infrastructure, etc.)?
MS by Research in Computer Science and Engineering is a 2-year full-time PG engineering program offered by IIT Indore. The MS in Computer Science at IIT Indore is a great option if you are a research enthusiast and are willing to pursue a career in the same.
The faculty does not matter much as you will be dealing with them only during the first-semester post which you will have been assigned a professor under whom you will be doing your research work.
Placements-wise not much can be said as it’s a recently launched program and it will take a few more years to make its mark. However, the opportunities seem to be very promising.
The infrastructure is great although the campus is still undergoing development so you can expect better infrastructure in the future.
Overall, the MS in Computer Science from IIT Indore is a great option for research lovers.
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.
Is the MS good in IIT Mandi?
Rather than talking about MS generally, let's break down the answer into branch-wise IIT Mandi MS programs.
IIT Mandi MS in CS
- This program is great Anne the majority of the batch either gets placed in good companies or converts their degree to a Ph.D. MS takes 2.5 - 3 years.
- IIT mandi provides all the prerequisites of MS in CS like a Laptop, a good adviser, and helpful colleagues.
IIT Mandi MS in Electrical Engineering
- The program is not very good with core companies seeking only B.Tech students and the number of visiting companies is also less.
- PSUs don’t allow MS/MTech students.
- Lab facility is poor
- M.Tech. in power electronics is way better than MS. Because
IIT Mandi MS in Electronics and Communication
- This branch too is pathetic with a poor placement scenario.
- The poor placements stem from the fact that IIT Mandi does not offer under-graduation in Electronics.
IIT Mandi MS in Mechanical, Thermal, Design, and Material Science Engineering
- All these branches are good options if you are planning to go for a Ph.D. Most MS scholars from the school of engineering, after passing out, opted for Ph.D. either abroad, or at older IITs.
Ultimately, MS in IIT Mandi is not a good choice if you are willing to get placed after your Masters. However, for educational and research purposes the program will serve you well.
What is it like to do an MS in IIT, Mandi?
To be very honest, doing MS from IIT Mandi is not a great decision. It completely depends on the branch that you choose. Suppose you choose Computer Science (Image Processing and Communication), then you may get better results with respect to placements. If you choose to pursue MS in Electrical: Control, Power Drives, Sensors, etc., then the chances of placement are very minimal. For the other branches like Thermal, Design, and Material, etc., the only option you will have is going for a doctorate.
Although, if you have set your mind that you will go for a doctorate program after MS, then IIT Mandi is a good option because the tag of IIT will definitely help you in the future. But in case you are hopeful of getting placed after completing MS from IIT Mandi, then you are at the wrong place. Choosing one of the old NITs will help you more.
