Unless you study in an IIT, you will never understand how much the Government invests in an IITian. The semester fees along with hostel fees are more than 20-30k.
The students who got admission through GATE, receive a monthly stipend of around 15k which compensates for the meager fees spent. You can spend the rest of the money on your expenses.

NIT Warangal offers MTech in a number of core branches like CSE, ECE, M.E., and Civil which are further subcategorised A plethora of job opportunities are available for the CSE and ECE MTech students. However, very limited opportunities are available for core domains like Mechanical, Civil, etc.
The two main reasons are the lack of core companies in India in general and fewer open positions for which BTech graduates are given preference. Most MTech graduates, therefore, prefer working in service-based companies like Infosys, TCS. While some even join PSUs and IES.
In 2023, NIT Warangal MTech recorded the highest package of INR 51.03 LPA and an average package of INR 30.43 LPA. The median and lowest packages stood at INR 33 LPA and INR 3.6 LPA respectively.
