The Unknown Mtech degrees ?

1. IIT Madras Regular and Texas M.S are very good and often people over look it. Don’t do it.

 2. IIT Delhi VDTT

 3. IIT Delhi JTM   and Computer Technology  

                                                                   

M.S. in India........

          Its been few years that research is getting good boost up in India. M.S. is one of the prominent courses to have got started in IITs. Not all IITs over it. IIT madras, delhi, kgp offer M.S. All the three are good.

Though the degree is equal academically with Mtech, the duration will be round 1.5 to 2.5 yrs. It is more of research oriented and less of courses.  It is like MINI Phd. as one of my friend Karishma (M.S. @ IIT kgp) says

Don't compare Mtech and MS that IITs offer. Both are different courses meant for different purposes.

Admission is mainly based on written test and Interview. But GATE is mandatory

Shortly I will add a write up regarding MS in IITs and about research. It will be from my friend Karishma, pursuing her MS in IIT Kgp.  

Why not Direct PHD...

Yes, many don't know about this. There is provision of direct PHD in India and few IITs have integrated course like the IIT Bombay which has Mtech+PHD course. Again Admission is mainly based on written test and Interview. But GATE is mandatory.

Understand Yourself First before deciding whether to take research or conventional courses

M.S. vrs Mtech

Both are good. MS is research oriented. If your research is in commercially viable areas, surely you will get placed in Companies in R&D sector. If not, you can go for Phd and plan for an academic career.
