How is the placement of M.Tech research at IISc Bangalore?

I have a few friends who pursued an M.Tech (Research) at IISc Bangalore. They told me that placement opportunities are good and at par with the M.Tech program.

At IISc Bangalore, for any Engineering branch where the placements are good, you will get equal opportunities in M.Tech and M.Tech (Research). 

Make sure to go for an M.Tech (Research) only if have a passionate interest in your branch because you will be working on your research project. Though you will be spending an extra 0.5 to 1 year on your research project, the coursework load will be comparatively less on you. 

You will also get enough time to spend on a particular course, so you can go for your Ph.D. in that area with a more informed mind.

Some Business, Finance, and IT firms may not allow M.Tech (Research) students to sit for the placement process. However, core companies make no such differentiation. 

Therefore, the placement of M.Tech (Research) at IISc Bangalore is pretty decent and at par with M.Tech.
