One of my friends with a GATE score of 670 took admission to NIT Calicut. The academics in the field of industrial and management are good but the placements are not good enough. The faculty of NIT Calicut is exceptionally well, knowledgeable and experienced. They are way better than the faculty of NIT Trichy or ISM Dhanbad. 

Placements for M.Tech courses are very bad and it is the same in all institutes. The only exception is flagship IITs and NIT Trichy. Therefore, one should opt for NIT Trichy than NIT Calicut. 

Therefore, if you are interested in a job right after the course, go for NIT Trichy. If you want to study further in this field, then NIT Calicut would be a suitable choice.

An M.Tech in Industrial Engineering and Management from NIT Trichy is a very good course. The placements are also really good. Any company which comes to the campus for recruiting mechanical or production specialization students will also let you sit for their process. 

There are many core companies in the data/business analytics, supply chain, and simulation sector which offer management-related profiles to the students.

The percentage placements of the M.Tech in Industrial Engineering and Management students over the years at NIT Trichy is given below –

• 2016-17 – 92%
• 2017-18 – 91.3%
• 2018-19 – 76.2%
• 2019-20 – 94.4%

You can further pursue a Ph.D. in this area and work as a professor in any engineering college or university. The best part of this course is its leniency towards attendance, classes, and exams which will help you to maximize your learning through other means as well.

IIT BHU offers a decent MTech program in Industrial Management. The MTech programs at IIT BHU are multidisciplinary and research-oriented and the course curriculum is designed to meet the industry requirements. There is a huge exposure for higher education in industrial engineering management in the domain of supply chain management, operation research, inventory management, etc.

All the manufacturing and engineering companies offer jobs specifically to industrial engineers. Some of them are TATA Steel, Tata Motors, Reliance Industries, Maruti Udyog. There are also other companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, etc. to name a few that offer jobs. Government organizations like BSNL, ONGC, ISRO, etc. also offer jobs with handsome packages. The average package offered in 2019 campus placement was between 10 LPA to 58 LPA.
