What is the scope of doing an M.Tech in RF and photonics from the IIT Guwahati?
Master in RF domain has two aspects namely research and placements. Firstly you need to determine where your interests lie. The answer talks about both aspects to help you make an informed decision.
- Research: Research-wise, this field has not been explored yet and anyone who pursues research in this field will have a plethora of opportunities to choose from. You have 2 options, either apply for a Ph.D. in India or go abroad for the same.
- Placement: The placement scenario of RF and Microwave Engineering of all IITs are somewhat similar. IIT Roorkee has a placement percentage of 85% and is expected to achieve 100% in the near future.
All in all, there is great scope for doing an MTech in RF and Microwave from IIT Guwahati.
Are M.Tech students in IIT Guwahati Data science stream eligible to sit for companies coming for CSE during placements?
Yes, M.Tech students in the Data Science stream at IIT Guwahati are eligible to sit for companies coming for CSE during placements. Most companies have no criteria for selecting students from specific streams only. However, it is up to the individual companies to decide which students they want to interview and hire.
Every company that visits the campus for placements has fixed eligibility criteria such as 10th, 12th percentage, and then the specific branch they are looking for. For instance, Goldman Sachs prefers students of Civil Engineering. A student that fulfills all the necessary criteria set by the recruiting company can sit for the written exam and further process that happens in the subsequent round.
It has been observed that most companies are open for both CSE and Data Science Branch during the placement process.
How different is an MSc in mathematics and computing from an MSc in mathematics at IIT Guwahati?
MSc in Mathematics syllabus is designed in such a way that it focuses entirely on pure mathematical concepts and analysis. It is the backbone of core mathematics which is a stepping stone for the advanced level of research at the doctorate stage. Data Structures and Algorithms, and Theory of Computation are compulsory subjects along with r CS electives such as Database Management Systems, Parallel Programming, and Distributed Computing, The course is somewhat inclined towards computing.
A few other courses covered under this program are as follows:
- Real Analysis
- Complex Analysis
- Linear Algebra
- Abstract Algebra
- Functional Analysis
- Topology of Metric Spaces
- Numerical Analysis
MSc Mathematics Computing / MSc Applied Mathematics at IIT Guwahati covers courses like
- Advanced and Applied Linear Algebra
- Numerical Techniques
- Statistical Techniques and Computation
- Applied Functional Analysis
- Differential Equations and Problems in Various Engineering Fields
- Coding Theory and Cryptography
- Statistical Modeling
- Machine Learning
- Applied Abstract Algebra
This program focuses mostly on solving problems arising in various branches of Engineering, Economics, Business, and Finance. It also deals with developing algorithms to perform high-order calculations and deals with statistical computation too.
Since the introduction of statistical software like R, SAS and MATLAB, Python, SAGEMATH, and High Order Clusters, Mathematical Computations have improved due to high speed and calculations on large data.
Which institute is better for CSE, BITS Pilani, IIT Guwahati or IIT BHU?
When it comes to Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programs, IIIT Hyderabad is undoubtedly one of the best options available. The study environment and coding culture at IIIT Hyderabad are unmatched, making it a great choice for students interested in CSE.
However, if you are looking for a more well-rounded college experience that includes a relaxed and enjoyable campus life, an older IIT may be a better choice for you. While IIIT Hyderabad excels in academics, it may not provide the same level of student life experience as an IIT.
When deciding between colleges, it is important to consider all aspects of the institution, not just academics. For example, BITS Pilani is an excellent college in all aspects, but if you have the option of getting into an older IIT such as IIT Guwahati, it may be a better choice for you.
Similarly, when choosing between BHU and IIT Guwahati, it is advisable to choose IIT Guwahati. While BHU has recently been given the IIT tag, IIT Guwahati is now being compared to older IITs and is even beating some of them in various rankings.
Finally, if you do not get admission into CSE with a rank of 803, Mathematics and Computing (MnC) is always an option. In fact, MnC is a safer option with better placement opportunities at IIT Guwahati. So, you can always consider MnC if you don't get CSE.
Which is better for an MTech in electrical engineering, NIT Trichy or IIT Guwahati?
The choice of the institute for pursuing an MTech in Electrical Engineering depends on what you want from your Masters.
- For those on the lookout for placements, NIT Trichy has a good placement scenario, especially for Electrical Engineering. They are even better than some well-known IITs in M.Tech, especially Power Systems.
- However, if you are willing to pursue a career in research after MTech (Ph.D.) then you will have to give great importance to the choice of the institute. An IIT is best suitable for prospective Ph.D. holders as they have global recognition too.
Ultimately, the better institute is a matter of preferences and career prospects.
Do IIT Guwahati M.Tech (computational mechanics) students get placed?
Yes, students of IIT Guwahati MTech Computational Mechanics get placed in both core and non-core companies with decent packages. These students are allowed to sit for almost every core company that visits the IIT Guwahati campus. In Fact, there are many companies that prefer CM students over students from other branches.
The placement percentage is around 60–70% considering placement statistics of the past few years. There are many students who embark on a career in research through Ph.D. in foreign universities. Getting recommendations from IIT Guwahati’s professors will make your OhD easier.
IIT tag will fetch you jobs off campus too, so don’t worry, you will end up with a job either way.

Which is better for mtech in mechanical engineering between nit trichy or iit guwahati?
The better option depends on what your purpose and life goals are and what you want from your Master.
If you want to pursue a career in research (PhD) the best option for you is IIT Guwahati. Being one of the oldest and most highly reputed IITs, it has high credibility and will fetch you Ph.D. interviews much more easily. Additionally, IIT Guwahati also offers immense exposure through foreign exchange programs. IIT Guwahati has collaborations with various reputed universities and can be preferred over NITs.
However, if it's the jobs you are after, then NIT is a better option as it’s more accessible to employers. Still, IIT Guwahati will always be my first preference. Be it a job or higher education, IITs always give an edge to other engineering institutes.
What should I take among IIT Delhi textile, IIT Kharagpur biotechnology, and IIT Guwahati engineering physics?
The choice of college and branch totally depends on your inclination and career prospects. Yet, a few pointers you might consider
For MBA/ non-core jobs/Startups: IIT Delhi Textile is the best choice if you are looking for any 3 of these options. Its excellent location provides enough exposure to give you access to unimaginable opportunities.
