IIT Delhi

Often the second best place after IIT Bombay in terms of placements. It has lot of inter disciplinary courses and often ECE people find interest in here.  

Again IIT Delhi also offers Mtech ( TA Only no RA ), MS By research , Direct Phd.  The arguments and information about the latter two are same.

IIT Delhi conducts written test/ Interview for all its branches. No direct admission. Often it has high weightage to Gate score.

5.1  Mtech TA - Interviews

AIR< 80 ( General Category ) - IEC – Integrated Electronics and Ckts   Call for Interview

AIR < 150 ( General Category ) – Communications and Signal Processing

AIR < 900 ( General Category ) – Computer Technology ( No Gate score weightage here)

5.1.1 Interdisciplinary Mtech Courses for ECE Guys :

AIR < 300 ( General Category )  - JTM : Telecommunications and Management.

AIR < 200 ( General Category )  - JVL – VDTT ( VLSI Design Tools and Technology)

JTM : It is communications branch which is very good in terms of placements in software industry.

VDTT : It is a sponsored programme where in the first round of interviews are conducted by the IIT Faculty and the second round by the companies who have come up to sponsor you.

It is best programme in India in terms of knowledge because it has industrial tie up and you will be getting a pre placement offer and also an opportunity to intern after your first year in their company. It has no Reservation. 

Computer Technology – Very good for those who want a software placement.

 5.2 MS by Research

 In all allowed specializations

5.3. Direct Phd

In all allowed specializations

The advantage with IIT Delhi is that apart from the academics, it is the best place to be in for IAS and other Civils Coaching.

Next IIT is the one that was established the first. 

IIT Kanpur

The best place to be in after IISC and IIT Madras for research is un doubtedly IIT Kanpur. It is very good.  They have only Mtech and recently MS has been started. But I am putting my information only regarding Mtech.

IIT Kanpur has only 2 yr Mtech in VLSI ,Communications and RF. ( Apt and Useful to us)
From 2015, they also started MS, but I have very little information, I will update it soon since one of my friend ended up joining it and got placed recently in Dec 2016 in Intel !!!

They conduct interview/written test.  The number of seats are high on par with other IITs in each specialization. But the common myths are that the lower rankers like < 150 are not entertained there mostly because the management doesn’t want any one to leave their college  before completing their MTech for government job and waste a seat. So they ensure no one is there of that category. But this is common myth and need not be true.

AIR< 300 ( General Category )  - VLSI Call for Interview

AIR< 500 ( General Category )  - Communication Call for Interview

AIR < 700 ( General Category )  - RF Call for Interview

Since 2015, IIT Kanpur is starting MS also.  Check out once.
