After doing some research online, I would say that all the courses at ISI Kolkata are amazing if you know which field you have to choose. Everything depends on your choice of the field as every field is distinct from one another.

Now, I would mention that for M.Tech CS & QROR, these are already well-established Programs and need no introduction. 

QROR:

• It’s a course based on subjects in applied statistics and business analytics.
• If you want to be in Business Analytics, it’s better than CS & Crypto.

CS:

• It has theoretical CS as well as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Courses.
• This will give you ample opportunity to do a Ph.D. as well as jobs in Data science positions.
• If you like coding and discrete mathematics etc then this is a zone to play in.

Crypto:

• ISI has India’s best Crypto people.
• And this is the first year of M.Tech Crypto so there is not much data available.
• But if you are not good in Abstract algebra Number theory then say not to this course.
• Research opportunities after M.Tech Crypto will definitely be better than that of QROR or CS.

I hope this helps you in clearing how all the three courses are distinct from each other. Each has its different criteria and comfort. 

Thapar University is one of the oldest and renowned universities in the country. Pursuing M.Tech is a really good choice and it is one of the leading names in the education industry.

Here are some of the reasons to pursue an M.Tech from Thapar University

• Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology has a great campus with beautiful infrastructure and places for various activities. 
• The infrastructure is fully developed.
• The teaching faculty is very good and well experienced.

The best part about IET Lucknow is the freedom it offers to the students. The college does not intend to restrict students to only academics. There is no pressure for attendance. However, some faculties might give weightage to attendance. So, if you can balance the academics and extracurricular, you can negotiate with them. Never give a chance to your teachers to point down your mistakes. 

Consider the below-mentioned points for this.

• Decent grades and marks in the sessional tests can save you.
• The faculties consider assignments too. So, make sure to submit your quality assignment adhering to all the instructions before deadlines. There is no need for more pages.
• Be enthusiastic and noticeable in classes by raising questions or giving answers to the teachers. Also, respect your teachers.
• Try to attend the lectures by the permanent faculties as such lectures are rare. There are only a few such faculties in the college. But they have vast experience and knowledge.
• Some students fill the attendance by themselves as soon as the faculty leaves the register in the class. But it is risky, and there is a probability of getting caught.
• Lab lectures are easy to skip. You can mark your attendance and leave the lab.

Overall, the classes are skippable in IET Lucknow if you have a decent image in front of faculties. Currently, compulsory attendance of 60% as per the rules of the new director is required, but 50% attendance will let you sit in exams.
