How are the placements at NIT Surathkal for an M.Tech in thermal?
In all engineering colleges, BTech students are given more preference than MTech students because they can do the job at a lesser salary than MTech students. Moreover, they are more in number and are ready to grab any role whatsoever. MTech students on the other hand prefer core jobs that align with their academic profile and specific interests. So the placement opportunities offered to Masters students are less. Mostly, they have two options to choose from, academia or corporate.
- Academics: Many institutes offer teaching positions to master students either as a college professor or for the role of an instructor at an Entrance Exam preparation institute, Master students of the Thermal branch are eligible for these roles.
- Corporate: The Mechanical department students are often recruited by companies like GE, Mercedes, Bosch, Yazaki, Alstom, etc. do come for recruitment. The requirements vary each year. In reality, the chances of landing a job as an MTech student at NIT Surathkal depend on the market rather than the institute.
NITK offers a great research culture that instills all the necessary skills. The placements are unpredictable though. Ultimately I will advise you to opt for a Master’s degree only if you are really interested in getting a specialization degree because there is no guarantee you’ll get a job in the end.
How hectic is life at IIT Madras for Mtech in Thermal Engineering?
The entire first year of an MTech in Thermal Engineering student at IIT Madras revolves around tremendous coursework. Once you have completed your first year, you are expected to select your guide for the research work you will be doing the next year.
The second year is also very hectic in which the entire 3rd semester is spent on placements and the 4th semester consists of thesis work. The entire program is hectic and it’s advisable to pull your socks from the first year itself, or else you will face problems during placements.
To get a good package from a good company, make sure your CGPA does not go lower than 7.5-8. If your basics are strong, you will spend less time doing your assignments and preparing for exams thus relaxing your tight schedule a bit.
Which is better for an M.Tech in thermal, NIT Warangal or IIT Guwahati?
MTech in Thermal is equally decent at NIT Warangal and IIT Guwahati. Both institutes give an edge to each other in most aspects and thus it leaves us only with a few parameters to evaluate IIT Guwahati and NIT Warangal.
- Ranking: IIT Guwahati Overall ranking by NIRF is 8 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 whereas NIT Warangal, Warangal Overall ranking by NIRF is 45 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022.
- Location: Locations-wise, IIT Guwahati is the clear winner considering its low average temperature and splendid natural beauty.
- Alumni: NIT Warangal has an upper hand here because of its early establishment. The extensive alumni network helps the students to secure placements, internships, fundraising, and many more.
- Hostel: IIT Guwahati has excellent accommodation facilities with single rooms for every student irrespective of your college year. NIT Warangal may or may not have twin sharing.
- Placements: Placements of both institutes are similar with IIT Guwahati having a slight advantage over NIT Warangal due to its higher average package.
- Value: For those planning to pursue a Ph.D., IIT Guwahati is a better choice because of the IIT tag. However, if you just want to pursue MTech and prepare for competence exams, then NIT will be a decent choice.
- Fees: NIT Warangal MTech fees is ?1.34 Lakhs )1st Year Fees) whereas IIT Guwahati MTech fees are ? 67,350/Yr
Sparing the alumni network, everything speaks in favor of IIT Guwahati and makes it a better choice than NIT Warangal.
How is the interview at IIT Bhubaneswar for an M.Tech thermal?What are the chances that a general category guy with 3061 rank and 704 score get a seat?
Chances are not much good as the number of seats in the thermal specialization are less (only 18) and IIT Bhubaneswar conducts a rigorous interview (half an hour to 45 minutes per candidate), within that duration you need to explain the topics on the board to the interviewers. Some of the interview questions asked in the previous year were boundary layer theory, transient heat conduction, the significance of Prandtl, Nusselt, etc.
The process for admission in the course is based on marks secured in graduation. The student must have 60% marks or 6.5 CGPA in a 10-point scale in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (with a valid GATE score).
The final selection of regular candidates will be based on the combined scores of the candidates in GATE (70%) and the written test (30%). The Written Test and Interview shall be given equal weightage of 15% each.
Students in the unreserved category will be eligible to sit in the interview subject to scoring a minimum of 40% marks in the written test and for final selection a minimum of 50% marks in the interview.
Hence, an interview becomes a very crucial factor in securing admission. It is completely technical in nature as explained above it judges the in-depth knowledge of the applicant in the subject. NPTEL lectures can be useful in preparing for the interview so as to enhance the understanding of the in-depth concepts of the subject in detail. Since the analysis part of some concepts as mentioned above can also be asked. The project report is also required there so one can expect questions from there also.
Finally, the cut off of the course is around 600 hence you can expect to have a fair chance if you have good understanding and command over your subjects.
Is it beneficial to do an MTech thermal engineering at Amity University, Gurgaon?
Amity University offers a decent M.Tech program for Thermal engineering. Although it is not at the same level as IITs, the institute has a dedicated and distinguished team of faculty members, who are keen to impart in-depth knowledge about the subjects. The median salary package offered to an MTech Thermal engineering graduate is 3 LPA and some of the top recruiters are Apollo Tyres, Bajaj Allianz, Blue Star, British Airways, Escorts Group and Government organisations like PWD have also recruited engineers in the recent years.
Amity University has tie-ups with universities across the globe, some of them include The University of Queensland, University of Birmingham, University of Denver, Brunel University which provides good opportunities for the students to pursue higher studies. If you want good placement offers after completing your M.Tech then Amity university may not be the right place for you.
Sir my gate score 630, ME general, any chance in IIT Bhubaneswar core mechanical department?
Yes, there is a good chance that you will get a seat in IIT Bhubaneswar core mechanical department. In IIT Bhubaneswar, the selection is based on 70% weightage for the GATE score and 30% weightage for the performance in the Written Test and Interview. The department has 3 main branches i.e. Design, Thermal, and Manufacturing. The cutoff is most likely to be, Design>Thermal >Manufacturing in all IITs. As design seats get filled first, then thermal and then manufacturing.
There are 18 seats for both Mechanical Systems Design and Thermal Science and Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar. The basic eligibility criteria are 60% marks in B. Tech./B. E. in Mechanical Engineering with a valid GATE score. Although cutoff changes every year for each branch but based on last year’s record, in 2020, the expected GATE cutoff for Mechanical System Design(GEN) is 595- 605 in IIT Bhubaneswar. So, yes there is a good possibility that you will make the cut.
