How is NIT PATNA for M.Tech.?
I completed my M.Tech in Microelectronics & VLSI Design from NIT Patna. From my specialization, NIT Patna students get selected in PSUs like BSNL, etc. But for PSUs, the students usually look towards cracking the GATE exam.
Other than that, companies like AMD and STMicroelectronics offer internships to worthy students from Microelectronics & VLSI. The alumni network is quite strong in this M.Tech specialization, with its alumni having interned at STMicroelectronics, AMD, Infineon, Intel, IIT Hyderabad, and RRCAT. Some of the alumni work at organizations like General Motors, Cadence Noida and core companies in Japan.
The faculty is quite good with dedicated members like Dr. Gaurav Kaushal, Dr. Bharat Gupta, and others.
At NIT Patna, or any other IITs and NITs, you are expected to work hard during your Masters’. I would recommend you set clear goals for yourself. Some Masters’ students decide to prepare for ESE/ PSUs while others sharpen their skills to get placed in a core company in the private sector.
How is the placement package for M.Tech students from IISC, Bangalore?
IISc Bangalore is famous for its research-oriented environment. Earlier it focused only on academic research. But in recent years, it has also started giving attention to industry placements.
Most of the reputed companies that visit IITs and BITs, also come to IISc for placements. All the IISc students end up with good packages, irrespective of their course/branch. The median CTC for IISc students was 28 LPA during 2023 placements. The placement process of IISc starts before the IITs, which is a great advantage for its students.
The MTech placements are good enough at IISc. But its grading system is very tough. You’ll have to work hard to maintain a good GPA over there. With a top GPA, you can expect at least 10 LPA as your placement package at IISc. This is applicable for all branches- CSA, SERC, DESE, ECE and EE.
Will the MTech scholarship through the GATE increase from 12,400 to 18,000?
No, there has been no such announcement. AICTE stipend for M.Tech students is INR 12,400. Students with valid GATE scores can avail of this financial assistance or scholarship.
Back in 2014, the stipend amount was increased from INR 8,000 to INR 12,400. Since then, there has been no official announcement regarding stipend increment.
How good is the curriculum of M.Tech C.S. in ISI kolkata?
M.Tech CS at ISI Kolkata isn’t just for CSE graduates. The student crowd includes students from all engineering streams. So, in the first year, ISI encourages students from non-CSE backgrounds to learn coding and study computer science courses. While CSE students are encouraged to take Mathematics courses such as Algebra, or Probability.
Second year course curriculum can seem a little boring for students with CS background. As the major chunk of the curriculum includes Algorithms, Networking, DBMS, etc. But you should use this opportunity to brush up on these subjects. You will also have the option to do research work, during the course tenure. Pursuing a research project can be really helpful if you are interested in doing a Ph.D. or an internship afterward.
In the second year, you will be allowed to choose a course of your choice. Try to take a subject that is relevant to your thesis work. The coursework in the third year can get extremely hectic, you will have to work on your thesis, start preparing for placement or PhD, and work on five subjects.

How are the placements for MTech students in IIIT Hyderabad?
