Let us see the remaining IITs. I will be putting information regarding only only top IITs. I haven't included IIT bhuvaneswar, indore, gandhinagar and so on...

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.
