IIT Bombay

Often called as home for placements, it is located in Powai. The best IIT for placements. It is very good in terms of the infrastructure and Industry tie ups.

1.1   Mtech – TA – Teaching Assistantship – 2 yr Program – Direct Admission

Specializations are 6 But I am telling only those that will land you in job or rather in one or other way related to ECE.

Micro Electronics, Electronic Systems, Communications Engineering.

1.2   Mtech – RA – Research Assistanship – 3 yr Program – Written Test and Interview

It has same specializations as what Mtech TA has. The difference is that it is relaxed program because it has 1 extra year. But there are two types of RA – Project RA and Institute RA.

The job opportunities are same  for both RA and TA except that the RA guys spend 1 extra year in IIT Bombay.  But be prepared for some higher amount of work hours than the TA guys.

1.3   Mtech + Phd – 5 yrs Minimum – Written Test and Interview

It has same specializations.

Getting an admission into TA is very tough because it has direct admission. RA and Phd program is much more relaxed. So higher rank guys can try for this.

AIR< 40 ( General Category )  -  TA Micro Electronics

AIR< 70 ( General Category )   - TA Electronic Systems

AIR< 90 ( General Category )   - TA Communication Systems

AIR < 700 ( General Category ) – Mtech + Phd Call Letter

AIR <  1000 ( General Category )  - RA Written Test Interview. The number of seats in RA category are not fixed and ad hoc. They are as per the needs of the Professors.

I have put up some information regarding the types of RA in the later parts. 

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.

                   Next IIT is Wooden Palace. . Man.. Check it out. 

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.
