ISI Kolkata has a great M.Tech CS program in terms of academics and placements. 

If you are from a Computer Science background, then you would have already studied most of the subjects covered in first year. During the second year, you will have the freedom to choose courses based on your interest. ISI is particularly reputed for Cryptography. But you can find other interesting thesis topics in Machine Learning, VLSI, Cognitive Science, Image Processing, etc. If your area of interest matches any of these, you will easily find a good research guide. 

ISI is famous for Statistics, hence the name Indian Statistical Institute. So, ISI Kolkata M.Tech CS placement includes great Data Science profiles. You will have plenty of opportunities in the Data Science sector. But it’s hard to receive developer profiles through campus placements. 

The placement opportunities for MTech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Bombay are excellent and rightly so. 

IIT Bombay is one of the superior technology and Engineering institutes in the country. The placement procedure at IIT Bombay is extremely competitive, and recruiters from a wide range of industries and sectors visit the campus to recruit students.

The majority of the MTech batch is placed in top companies in the technology sector. However, the placement scenario is subject to change every year. Some students even receive offers from startups and other emerging companies in the technology sector.

The table below will give you a brief insight into the placement scenario of CSE at IIT Bombay.

Please bear in mind that placement opportunities depend not on one but a multitude of factors like individual skills, knowledge, and experience, as well as market conditions and other factors. So to secure the best opportunities, students should work and inculcate skills that make them suitable for the best roles offered.

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. 

I completed my M.Tech CSE from IIIT Bangalore a few years back. Based on my experience, here are some pros and cons of joining this course/college-

Pros

1. IIIT Bangalore sees a very diverse crowd. Students from various ethnic and academic backgrounds join the college each year. While some leave their jobs to pursue an M.Tech, others join right after their B.Tech. Some are very research-oriented and plan for a Ph.D. in the future. 
2. The students are very serious about academics. But they are also very supportive of each other.
3. The seniors are very supportive and friendly. The college alumni network is very strong.
4. The faculty for M.Tech CSE is very dedicated and helpful. 
5. The campus is neat, and Bangalore is just great for tech enthusiasts.
6. Almost everyone is placed with a decent paycheck by the end of the course. Many students receive PPOs.

Cons

1. The campus is small, and the college isn’t very old.
2. The fees are quite high.
3. IIIT Bangalore ranks below top NITs and is comparatively less popular.
4. The administration isn’t student-friendly.
5. Final sem students are forced to stay in the hostel if they intern anywhere in Bangalore. This is inconvenient if one’s office is far off, considering Bangalore’s traffic.
6. The hostel curfew timings aren’t very convenient. No one is allowed outside of the campus post 10 PM.

In spite of some cons, IIIT Bangalore is a great choice for an M.Tech CSE.
