What can I do after doing an integrated M.Sc in photonics at CUSAT?

SJ
Shekhar Jha Posted On : July 20th, 2021
M.Sc. Photonics, University of Madras (2018)

There are two options that you can pursue after an integrated M.Sc in photonics at CUSAT.

Industry Jobs - The jobs offered by the photonics industry of India are mostly sales. Yes, there are jobs in the telecommunications industry especially in the fiber optics sector which could fetch you some very good technical roles as well.

Research - Photonics is one of the very interesting topics to research upon. The field offers some very good opportunities in India as well as abroad. However, very few educational institutions in India have a photonics department and they also prefer physics students when they hire their professors. So getting a teaching job may also become difficult.

Anyway, if you are really interested in the subject then nothing should come between your choice because opportunities will appear over time.

B.Sc. (H) Chemistry from University of Delhi

When a 12th-grade student enrols in a prestigious Delhi university, he or she has many hopes for placement and compensation.

However, only 1% of students are placed in the top colleges. B.Sc. is solely academic in nature. You should never have unrealistic expectations of receiving gleaming packages after completing your B.Sc. To get a job in this field, you will need to further your education.

The main advantage of studying at DU is the exposure you will receive. It will aid in your personal development.

What is your opinion of the IIT Madras online BSc degree in data science? Will it lead to high paying jobs?

CB
Chandrani Banerjee Posted On : March 29th, 2023
IIT Madras (2018)

IIT Madras offers an online graduate program in data science, which has no age or stream restrictions, and is appealing due to the reputation of the institute and the high demand for data science courses.

The program is divided into three levels, with varying durations, courses, and fees.

However, there are several shortcomings to the program, according to reviews and interactions with IIT Madras students, including:

  • The time factor: The program requires a long time span for completion, with the expectation of 10 hours per course per week, which may be difficult for busy professionals.
  • The experience factor: The course focuses more on theory than practical problem-solving, which may be less useful in the industry. Practical project-oriented training and experience are more valuable in the current job market.
  • The attention factor: The program offers recorded classes instead of live sessions, which may result in less individual attention and doubt clearance.

Other online training programs, such as Skillslash, upGrad, and Great Learning, offer courses that stand out in merit, providing live sessions, project experience guided by industry experts, and career advice.

The online BSc Data Science program offered by IIT Madras is costlier compared to other institutes offering the same program. Some other institutes also offer easier installment plans.

IIT Madras does not guarantee a job or placement after completion of the program.

Therefore, it is best to opt for programs that offer industry experience and save on costs, like the one offered by Skillslash, to ensure job opportunities in the future.

Is an integrated MSc in mathematics and computing in BIT Mesra a good option?

DG
Deepmoy Ganguly Posted On : August 9th, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra

Maths and Computing is considered one of the best branches after CS in IITs today. The BIT tag is also quite popular among engineering aspirants so many enthusiasts of Math and CS  go for this branch to avail the opportunities this field offers. From what I have heard, the syllabus is at par with industry needs and the faculty pool is very passionate and approachable. 

Mathematics is an indispensable part of Computer Science whether it’s research in data science or development. you need to be proficient in math. This course is designed to bridge the gap between the two which it purposely does, opening gates of innumerable opportunities. 

To make the most of this branch, start concentrating on Core Mathematics and programming/DS/competitive programming right from the first year. Start working on a project by the end of the first year and go for an internship in the software domain. By the end of the 4th year, you will be proficient in most CS skills making it possible for you to sit for maximum placements.

So, taking IMSC in Mathematics and Computing at BIT Mesra will be a good decision if you stop comparing your branch with others. The only drawback is that it is not a technical degree but that does not matter in the long run.
