IISC - Interview Experiences

Hi Every one ..

So this is the post where in I will be sharing with all of you my CEDT written test experience.

Just like others, don't just have a negative opinion about IISC Bangalore that it has only research guys and no placements. It is very good institute and if you want to study peacefully, it is the best.

Be prepared for some good knowledge sharing during the two years of Mtech in IISC.

So the written test was scheduled on April 20th 2015, I arrived 1 day before. I have one friend there Satya Narayana who is studying there as CEDT student. He got 699 rank(OBC) last year ( When I got 751 Rank in General ).  Last year, I accompanied him to IISC because I had a call from Computation sciences with my last year rank. So due to this, It didn't take much of time for me to go to IISC after getting down at the Bus stop.

I will share few questions that I remember.

1. How to make mux with de mux and vice versa.

2. 5 to 8 questions on Embedded Systems ( Strange experience for most of the students )

3. Simple Biasing question on BJT Transistor

4. Simple question on Flip Flops and Micro Processor

5. Question on Sub Threshold Region in MOSFET

6.  Easy 2 questions in Mathematics

7.  EM Theory about trasmission

8. Design from 15V to 5V un regulated power supply

9.  1 question on IPV4 and IPV6. It had one question also about router working.

10. Little Endian and Big Endian question.

11. Rise Time and fall time question and graph of output voltage vrs time when you have a capacitor and resistor connected in the output stage of a transistor

12. Design a circuit for Chess board type of K-Map. Find the minimum number of xnor and xor gates.

I will keep on updating few other questions.. as and when I remember them or get it from few of my friends.... But mostly I have done it.

Some how after the Exam, I felt I would be in with 60% chance and 40% out.
     
               Unfortunately - the 40% came true.....

So immediately took a train to Hyderabad and came back...

                     Next Journey is to the Ultimate Madras after 1 week gap...

                                                                                      Check it out next. .

   I didn't get VLSI in IIT Madras in the first 2 rounds.

The rest of the IIT s I didn't apply.

GATE Preparation

Having posted all this stuff, the next responsibility would be from my end would be to put up the information about how I prepared for GATE and get a rank of 70 in Gate 2015 inspite of working in Infosys.

Although, I got AIR 751 in Gate 2014, sincerely I had put more efforts if not pain. But Gate 2015 was put more pain inside into.

I would put forth the links to the books to be downloaded shortly.

 1. SemiConductor Physics - Prof. Karmalkar NPTEL Videos & Neamen
            Read concepts well but mostly the formulae are very important in this subject. Be thorough with the proofs of each formulae because they may ask for different situations. This can happen only if u know the formulae derivation. Like in GATE they can ask u like what if the length is doubled then you tell what will be the current. If you just remember the formulae with constants, you will not be able to do so.

2. Micro Electronics - Sedra and Smith & Prof. Radha Krishnan Videos
          Read concepts well and practise a lot of problems. Identify which regions of operation is BJT,MOSFET is in. I will add shortly few links of videos regarding JFET, which are helpful.
Formulaes regarding Pinch off is important because students often miss the poliarity and end up doing it wrong.

3. Electro Magnetic Theory - Prof. Shiv Goenkar Videos and Alexander Sadiku Book
         Often the most difficult subject. Yes it is but then if you have practised the solved problems of Alexander Sadiku Book, you will surely get goot understanding.

4. Control Systems - Ogata and Nagoorkani for Practise
         It is the easiest subject and often the scoring subject. Understanding the 4 things - Polar Plot, Nyquist Plot, Bode Plot, Routh Hurth Criterio and their special cases is very important. Also the block diagram to Transfer function telling.

5. Signals and Systems - Openhiem
         This subject may seem to be difficult for few students initially but as and when you go on understanding Communications, you will be understanding thiings here in a better way. But read things well and often few direct questions from Openhiem will be given, that says the std of the text book it is

6. Communications ( Analog and Digital ) - Taub and Schilling, B.P. Lathi and my friend Harish ( Mtech IIT Hyd pursuing)
Difficult subject. But then you have to practise a lot of problems. Understanding about modulations schemes is not easy. You have spend some quality time and then you have to understand the things in a crystal clear way. Take a lot of time for this subject. Don't just run away with formulae

7. Engineering Mathematics - Few Videos in the You Tube and also few lecture notes
    Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Calcilus, Approximations are the important things. Practise few problems. It will be easy.

8. Network Theory - Alexander Sadiku Network Analysis and few un covered topics from the net. 
           If you are done with the whole book of Alexander Sadiku, then you can assume you are done in all aspects apart from Graph Theory which is not there in this book. Practise few problems in Power anaylsis. Try to understand the difference between the real and apparent power.  Take units seriously. Power factor correction is often neglected by students. Transient analysis is very important. Try to solve few questions from the placements of Texas, because they are known to be the masters of Transient analysis.

9. Digital Electronics -  NPTEL Videos of  Prof Srinivasan and Marris Mano.
Easiest subject may be if u understand and toughest if you don't. I would recommend local author book first like Anand Kumar and then practise questions from You tube and then later on read marris mano. Don' forget to read logic families. There will be few easy questions, why miss them.

Kanodia Practise Book was very helpful and I recommend you to solve it mostly for practise.
But there are many unnecessary questions in it and few wrong explanations. Don't mind them.

Planning

See, read upto November. Keep December for only practicing old question papers. Buy a hard copy book that consists of last 20 years papers. Solve each paper and see how much you are getting. Then understand the solution and see the topics again which you feel you are not comfortable.


Do it 3 times atleast so that it will be such a huge advantage that the moment you see a question from some topic then you will surely get an idea as to what or where in this question , will the questioning person will try to fool or trap us.

The next thing is to buy a test series that can be really useful for practicing.

For those who start preparing for gate after this. This should be your road map.

                  1. Up to November - Prepare to the best and pratice as good as possible.
                   2. December - Only test series and Old question Papers. Solve and Learn
                     3. January - Revise and revist things. Don't learn new things. Perfection is important.

So, with this. I will go forward with the way the journey went on.

I am reminding you about my details

                                             Gate 2015 ECE Rank:   70
                                                                    Score :    899
                                                               Category:    General

MY GATE 2015

Many people who are reading this blog might have asked themselves what is this person doing now??

So, having being frustrated with the work, I along with few other friends have started preparing for GATE. Four of us prepared and all four of us being from Infosys managed to prepare well and end up getting good ranks.

Shivananda Rapolu – AIR 303 ( AIR 400 odd in Gate 2014 ) - Seat in IISC DESE now in 2015.

Sreenu Kakunuri – AIR 141 ( AIR 500 odd in Gate 2014) - Seat in Kgp VIPES now in 2015.

Mahendra Mundru – AIR 22 ( CSE )  ( AIR 300 odd in Gate 2014 ) - Seat in IIT Bombay in 2015.

Raghavapudi VNK Neeraj ( Myself ) - AIR 70 ( AIR 751 in Gate 2014)- Seat in IIT Delhi VDTT in 2015.

You can claim that all of us have improved our ranks but then we had to write Gate again because we didn't knew many things like the Mtech RA of IIT bombay which is super for our ranks last year ones,

IIT Madras TI MS and regular MS in VLSI which are just awesome, IIT Delhi Computer Technology, JTM, JCA, Hyderabad RA and Direct Phd programmes in all IITs

Don't take rest post gate. Travel a lot. Appear for a lot of Interviews... Run Run. Run.. 

But we all had to take the pain of writing GATE again while working .

My biggest gratitude to My Parents, who have been always with me and supporting me, My Philosopher, my guide - Mr. Sudhakar Reddy ( My college HOD ), All my friends and in specific  my buddy - Harish Kumar ( studying Mtech Communications in IIT hyd).

Without Harish, a lot would have not been possible. Thanks to him from the bottom of my heart.

By now, you would have got the reason why I blogged this information. I don’t want any one to miss things because he has no information regarding it.

Hope this helps....

Getting AIR 70 didn't stop my struggles..  I travelled to many IITs still........... 

Keep viewing and get the rest of the story - Of how I failed in IISC CEDT and how I was out smarted by the Texas and How did I outsmart the Delhi Professors.. 

Keep Viewing. . 

                                  

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.

                  

 Mtech  RA good or bad

Institute RA

 1. You will work in any one of the laboratories (System Admin lab, communications and DSP lab, microelectronics lab, power electronics and machines lab, electronic circuits lab) of the institute. Your work may be heavy or light depending on the lab you get.
2. You are free to choose your final year project and guide based on your interests.
3.For shortlisting for interview, 50% weightage is given to GATE score and 50% weightage to your marks in the written test

Project RA

1.You will be assigned  a particular project under a particular professor. This may be an institute sponsored project or a project sponsored
2.Gate Score weightage is 75%
3.You are not free to choose your final year project and guide

More information about IIT Bombay RA is given in the later posts where I have shared one of my friends' experience and I bet it is totally worth it reading.

As I said that there is no difference in the degree you get. All are same and it depends on you  as to how well you do.

With this, I will end up telling you things and now start telling you things that made me get good rank in GATE 2015.
 What all did I study? 
        How did I manage time inspite of working in a company?
                   What books did I study?
        
                                              Come on explore more for all the secrets.

The Others

IIT Roorkee and Guwahati

Both have only Mtech courses (TA).  They conduct counseling for their seats and few times interviews. They have VLSI, Communications, Signal Processing branches.

Check out with the seniors before you join them.

As it is counselling based. it is tought to estimate. 

AIR< 300 ( General Category )   - VLSI

AIR< 450 ( General Category )  - Communication and Signal Processing.

Newer IITs

Of all the Newer IITs, only IIT Hyderabad is promising and is very super in terms of standards. This I am saying because of lot of reasons. I had done my Internship in IIT Hyderabad. It is very good in terms of research and placements and facilities, inspite of being a new IIT.. 

I have lot of friends who are studying and none of them have raised any negative point regarding it and all of them are getting into good companies. 

IIT Hyderabad

It offers MTECH TA and RA, Direct Phd. Since 2015, It started Counseling for TA seats. Until 2014, it used to have direct admission for TA and Written test for RA.

1. MTECH - TA

AIR< 250 ( General Category ) – VLSI

AIR < 500 ( General Category )  - Communication and Signal Processing

2 MTECH – RA

AIR < 1000 ( General Category ) will get call for written test and Interview

3 Direct Phd

AIR < 4000 (General Category )  - Call for Written test and Interview

Upto now, I have discussed maximum number of specializations of Post Graduation in IITs for ECE guys.

With this I will summarize this discussion and discuss a bit about other things.

IIT Kharagpur

The oldest IIT and often called as the best for ECE. It has direct admission for Mtech

6.1 Mtech – TA

        AIR < 100 ( General Category )  - VLSI

        AIR < 300  ( General Category )  - Communication Signal Processing

        AIR < 250 ( General Category )  - VIPES – Video and Image Processing

        AIR < 400 ( General Category ) – RF and Micro Wave

        AIR < 500 ( General Category ) – Multimedia and Image Processing

There are few Mtech – TA  specializations which have written test/ Interview. Kindly get noted regarded it.

6.2 MS and Direct Phd

Same Arguments applicable as any other IIT

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.

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. 


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 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. 

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 our Capital City College. . I know. all know. it. 

IIT Madras

It is located in the wooden campus. It looks like a forest. One of the best places to be in for a quality research in VLSI.

Remember that IIT Madras will be too late in announcing the results so as a result the analysis regarding it is very tough. But there is also less seats here on par with other IITs and also moreover they have spot admission. With this coming into picture, it makes a bit difficult to guess about the whereabouts of the analysis.

Still generally We can note the following things in general. Also there is no 3 yr Mtech – RA here. There is a MS by Research Programme. ( It is like MSc in IISC )

3.1 Mtech – 2 yr – TA – Direct Admission

           AIR<50 ( General Category )  - VLSI  ( If not in the first round, atleast in the later rounds)

          AIR < 100 ( General Category  ) – Communications.

3.2 MS By research. – Written and or Interview

1.       NORMAL / REGULAR MS :  It has written test and approximately upto 2000 ranks in the open category are called for the written test and Interview process. No weightage to Gate score. It is not a time bound course and professor bound course. But MS in VLSI is highly required now a days.

2.       TEXAS MS :  It is very good programme with the sponsorship coming from the Texas Company and an offer of employment with them post your MS. You will be paid minimum of 20K per month as stipend and also an opportunity with Texas as an Intern. The written test and Interview has strictly < 1000 rank in any category. There is no reservation.

For more information : http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/vlsi/research/start

3.3    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.

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 none other than the IIT known for the most packages in 2014.. Guesses come one. 

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. 

                   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)
                                 

Why higher education

 1. If you are one of the techie guys and is passionate about doing some silly and funny  things with technology – Go for Mtech in IITs

2. Most of us study only in small colleges not known much for placements. So always a higher degree in top colleges will help you get better placed and better brand.

3. Passion towards Education may be the reason for few. They needn't stop their education after Btech and start working in some companies too early.

4.In B Tech, most of students end up getting placed in companies like Infy, TCS, Wipro, CapGemini and few others which are bulk recruiters. I do agree that at that point, one would always get carried away and hence will not think about any other thing apart from the campus placements. 

Remember that most of these companies only believe your analytic power and offer you employment. The package they pay you will be pretty low like 3 to 4 Lakh at max depending on which company you land up. You will be trained on something and finally you will be working on something which may or may not like it or know it rather. If you hate all these, then better go for higher education...............

5. Want to work for core Companies........... of ECE. then go for higher educaiton...

6. Often Post graduation is the stepping stone for one's career in research and high profile jobs.

7. Last but never the least .....Higher package….  in IITs.. Surely average package is 10 Lakhs

 ( Reminding you again that all this is for ECE guys. Because I know most of my CSE friends of Mtech will be earning  20s and 30s Lakhs on an average)

So, having seen these points, I know there is a bit of confusion among the minds of many a students.  
                Few would have thought of MS in foreign and few would have thought of Mtech in IITs.

What to choose?? 
                                           Why Mtech ? Why MS..
                                          What are types of Mtech and MS

                                          Is MS equivalent to Mtech in India?
                                          Is MS the property of USA or is it present in India also??

Thinking right?? 
                                                          Carry on guys. there is lot more in the next post.

Why This Blog ?

 Having secured a GATE Rank of 751 with a Gate Score of 766 in 2014 ECE, I couldn't get into any IIT (Not the greatest but neither is too low to get an Admission into IITs from General Category)

Ever since I appeared GATE, there was not too much of guidance required Post - GATE for me. I didn't knew that the rank I got is good enough to fight out and get admission in IITs for Mtech . Ours was the first batch of students. We had no seniors. This was a big dis advantage for me.May be out of frustration that I developed over not being able to use my GATE rank, during this one year or so, it made me know even more things about higher education in IITs for ECE guys.

I searched a lot and contacted many a people. By the time, I knew things, I was too late.I have started this blog to let people know about lot of things about Post graduation in IITs through GATE. Many things are un known. I started this blog to unfold you those things.

There are lot of oppurtunities. The moment we hear Mtech, people say it is 2 yr program. But there are oppurtunites apart from that - MS, Phd, Direct Phd, 3 yr Mtech and much more.

But before I knew anything about all those, time was over and I started working in Infosys.

So I wanted to share few of my experiences which may be useful for students. I want to corner my discussion only about Technical Education. So No Information about MBA is provided.

I secured AIR 70 in GATE 2015, preparing while in Infosys.
                                          

The blog is useful for those who have confirmed about themselves that they will be going for Technical Education. I don’t know much about MBA and also am not including any thing about non technical education.
                                   

                    I know many would think, why should I study further when I already got placed in a software company ( which people get placed most often after their Btech).
I know there are many reasons why you should not stop after your BTech. .

                Want to know why...........................
                                                                                        Come on go to the next post now..
