IISC Bangalore

IISC Bangalore

IISC closes its applications very fastly mostly 1 week after Gate Results. So Be aware.  Other IITs give you some time.  Be be prepared with all the necessary things like scanned copies of your Btech Marklists , Original Degree,  Photo, Signature. If you are that year pass out, then have Course Completion certificate. Remember that most of the Institutes will ask 60% Btech Percentage Minimum.

Located in Bangalore and often called as the best place to be in for a peaceful study. If someone is interested in Research Programmes. This is a heaven. I am here by telling the programmes it offers.

1.1  ME : Master of Engineering  - Direct Admission

          Specialization :  Micro Electronics, Signal Processing,  Communications and Networks.

1.2. Mtech : Master of Technology 

  CEDT ( Centre of Electronics Design Technology). Now it is called as DESE ( Dept of Electronic System Engineering). Written Test and Interview.

1.3  MSc Engineering  - Written Test and or Interview

This is a research program and the duration will not be fixed and generally it takes 2 to 3 years. It can be opted by those who are interested in research.  But just remember that when you are in some prestigious institute, then you should not think much about placements and think only  about gaining as much knowledge as possible.

In placements they open for a Department and as long as you are in the same Electrical Department, you should not be much worried whether you are ME/MTECH/MSc. It is your knowledge levels that matter. But in MSc you should be prepared to do more research work rather than conventional course work unlike Mtech/M.E.

This is also one of the options. 

1.4 Direct Phd / Phd – Written Test and or Interview

This is again a research programme and Direct Phd is taken immediately after Btech and normal Phd is after your Masters.

So getting an admission for ME Programmes is very tough because it is direct admission. So Gate ranks should be very low. But CEDT is a VLSI Programme and it is one of the best in India.  It has a written test followed by Interview. But the advantage here is that there is no weightage to Gate score or your previous stage performance in the evaluation of your next stage.

AIR< 20 ( General Category)  - ME  Micro Electronics.

AIR< 120 ( General Category)   - ME  Communications and Networks and ME Signal Processing.

AIR < 300 ( General Category )  - CEDT call letter you will get. Prepare well from Gate results. Contact those who are studying their First Year CEDT and get information about CEDT.

AIR>300 & AIR<1000 ( General Category )  - MSc Program and Direct Phd  call letter is for sure. So be prepared for it if you want to go for such programmes. 

Remember for OBC you can assume 1.5 times and SC/ST 3 times atleast. But when you have category, better apply because it depends on the number of applicants ahead of you. The seats are reserved and if there is no one in your category then inspite of how large your rank is you will be getting it. So don't miss what you have. 

If you have any specific doubts regarding things, you can comment here and I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge regarding rank and other doubts.

This is all about IISC programmes, that I wanted to put up. 

                   Let us see the Bombay IIT in the next IIT.........

IIT Mtech or MS in Foreign

Al though the above mentioned reasons are not the only but few among my mind.. Once you are stubborn that you want to pursue higher education, the next idea will be M.S. in Foreign Universities or M Tech in IITs?  ( I have not put any ideas regarding the Non Technical Education)

Why M.S in Foreign Universities.  :  

If you have good family background and is someone who can fight out in odd environments, then you can try out this. But be stubborn that the amount is going to be high but then you can do some part time and other things to get back some time. The placements are good in many universities and you can end up easily with 40 to 50 Lakh Salary Jobs.

In Foreign PHD are paid scholarships easily on par with M.S. But for M.S. it is tough to get scholarship. Also develop some clarity as to why you are going for M.S. Is it because of your interest in Higher education and research or is it for better placement. Depending upon that you have to choose M.S. with Thesis or without thesis. Know about these things better.

Why M Tech in India :  

Because if you think your family is not that good financially and you want to do it free of cost, then this is the best place. Join M tech and you will get some financial aid of 12400 Rs if Mtech and if Phd it will be 28000 Rs per month. So it is Risk free and moreover if you feel that you develop even more interest towards studies after doing your masters, then you can surely continue your education in same IIT as PHD scholar or also go to foreign university for your PHD. But the advantage will be that you will be paid scholarship for your PHD in Foreign Universities.. Or if you felt you have done enough by studying Mtech in IITs you can easily get placed in IITs or you can opt for lecturer jobs in any college even in the worst case.

If you decide upon IIT Mtech then you can carry on reading the blog. Because I have put the information only regarding it only.  Just to remind you that the information given below regarding Gate ranks is mostly about GATE ECE only. Although the above discussion that We had is applicable to any branch.

For those who feel they can take it up - go for MS or else Mtech in IITs is always a good and a stepping stone for a better career.

So at this point of time, I know many would have thought about their careers. So few of your friends might have already started their dreams of enjoying in Foreign and few others would have started their dreams about IITs.
                     
Let me put up the information about MTech in IITs - ( India First after all)
