How is the Solid State Technology M.Tech course offered by IIT Madras Physics Dept?
IIT Madras Physics faculty is great. If you are interested in Solid State Technology, the M.Tech program is ideal for you. However, the placement opportunities are limited.

Do various projects that can reflect your capabilities.
How is IIT Ropar for an M.Tech in power engineering?
Some experience preferably an internship in the private sector can come in handy if you want to pursue M.Tech in Power engineering at IIT Ropar.
Before you make up your mind, research the challenges of power engineering, its strengths, and drawbacks, the scene of the program in our country, the opportunities that remain unused, etc.
Decide if you would like to address these problems on your own or with the team you will be making. There is still a gaping difference between demand and supply in our country. There are also problems in transmission, losses in transit; thefts that take place by unscrupulous elements.
Other than these, there are also generation gaps, technology or equipment that has become obsolete. You will need to address these problems when you will pursue the course and apply your knowledge in the real world.
How are the placements for an Mtech Electrical in Power System and Power Electronics at IIT Madras?
Generally, in the electrical branch, almost 80-90% of students get placed. The highest salary package offered is 1 CPA. The lowest salary package offered is 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies are Jane Street, Google, and Microsoft. Almost 60% of students got internships in P&G and Dr. Reddy Laboratory. The top roles offered are engineer in petroleum industries and analyst in pharmaceuticals.
However, Power Systems and Power Electronics branch has its own shortcomings.
- Although most companies of EE allow Power students to sit for placements, if they lack knowledge of ECE subjects of GATE, they cannot clear the written test
- You will have limited options unless you are proficient in VLSI. Interviewers may not consider you if you haven’t done VLSI courses
- Core companies of Power Electronics hardly visit the campus. Those that do visit, either require a high cutoff like 9 CGPA like Enphase Systems or offer a package lower than 8 LPA.
So what is the solution to getting better packages as a student of Power Systems and Power Electronics? Well, you have two options
- Either, do some VLSI courses offered at IIT Madras itself. This will get you a good package from top companies like Intel and AMD.
- Or become proficient in coding
These two ways can save you from getting a below-average package. It’s highly advisable to do some courses not related to power engineering to increase your chances of employment because most core companies offer packages lower than 10 LPA.
How is Amrita University for an MTech in embedded systems? Which campus should I prefer between Coimbatore & Bangalore?
I know some people from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham so I think I can give you some idea about it.
M.Tech in Embedded Systems is a great course. As far as the choice between Bangalore and Coimbatore campuses is concerned, then without any doubt, Coimbatore campus is better between the two. Here are some details about the campuses.
Coimbatore Campus:
- This course is offered by the Electrical and Electronics department. So if you are an electrical graduate, then it is better for you.
- The department has very good lab facilities. There are various development boards and robotic kits which will help you increase your skills.
- The faculty are very helpful and will help in every way both academically as well as publishing in your journals.
Bangalore Campus:
- Here the course is offered by the Computer Science department. So if you are a CS graduate, then it is for you.
- The labs, teaching experience, facilities, research opportunities, and exposure to the industry are also very good.
Considering all the points and knowing that Coimbatore is the original and the oldest campus of the two, the preference of the campuses should be Coimbatore.

IIT Dhanbad is an older institution than IIT Bhubaneswar and offers a large alumni base. IIT Dhanbad ranks 42 among Indian universities.
If you are interested in taking up a research-based course that focuses more on academics you can opt for MTech in EEE from IIT Bhubaneswar but if you are looking for placements then a BTech in EEE from IIT Dhanbad will be better.
As IIT Dhanbad is a more reputed Institute when it comes to reliability. 75% students are placed in IIT Dhanbad in this year in the EEE department (BTech). The average salary offered to an EEE graduate is 15.5 lakhs per annum. MTech Students from IIT Bhubaneswar have a 68% placement rate in Core Engineering Departments, being offered a salary package of 10-16 lakhs per annum.
Lastly, it depends on your choice but to study MTech in EEE you need to complete BTech with at least 60% in aggregate. If you want to research further instead of working MTech will be a better choice after your graduation.
