hi friend,
here i am giving some suggestions for doing M.tech...
if you want to enrich your English knowledg and your practical knowledge means prefer abroad universities.
it take more cost.if the cost is no matter means prefer for US.
if cost is a matter means it is best you do M.tech in our IITs.
Because IITs provide same quality of education as in abroad.
so make your choice.All the best for your carrier.
bye.

.M.Tech in IIT or MS in US???
2009 May 30
tags: Admission, Advise, BTech, M.Techby Zahid
. I came across this question when I was in B.Tech third year, from then I usually asked for my opinion on this. This is really a good question and every engineering student who thinks of either a great job or good carrier asks at least once to himself.

After graduating from IIT when I look back to this question, I can immediately conclude that the question itself was wrong. The reason is that the IITs are India’s top Engineering schools with a strong Alumni base in all technology companies in world, are compared to any university in US.



The right question should be “M.Tech in IITs or MS in top 50 Engineering Schools of US?” or “M.Tech in India or MS in US?” These questions are correct and not comparing apple with oranges.

Let me answer the second question first. M.Tech in India or MS in US? The answer to this question according to my understanding is US is a good option. As even a university with rank around 300 will have a one or two good faculties members who studied at top universities during certain level of their educational qualifications. At least they carry that culture with them and can be helpful for the students to think differently and confidently. Job opportunities in US are more, as the competition is less than when compared to India.

If I have an admission letter from top NITs or IITs and some university in US with ranking around 200, I will go for M.Tech in India. As NITs and IITs have all top companies of the world in every domain for campus recruitment with a 200% placement figures. No university in the world has this kind of placement statistics. This will also open doors for me higher education in top 50 universities in US with a scholarship which otherwise is quite difficult.

Let me come to the first question. “M.Tech in IITs or MS in top 50 Engineering Schools of US?” The answer is quite simple and straight, MS in US top 50 universities (with a scholarship) is a better choice. To reach there either you should be a fresh IITian, Some top 20 institutes in India, or already have a job experience in on of the top multinational companies like Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo…etc.

Getting into either IITs or Top 50 universities (with a scholarship) need lots of hard work and luck. With hard work and consistent try to get admission into these heavens of education one at certain point of time can be there. But I rarely saw someone with luck alone reached there. For M.Tech in IITs you have to prepare for GATE, take time to study for it. Need gather best GATE martial, solve previous questions papers and try not to be less than 99 % (percentile). On the other hand to go to top universities in US, you need to prepare hard for GRE and make sure that you won’t get less than 1400, write a good statement of purpose and run around to arrange good recommendations. After everything wait for admission committee decision, once you get an admission letter run around the US embassy to get visa. This all process make you understand that easy things don’t pay you much in life, so take a stand and work hard and pray for good luck.

To summarize this I would prefer to go to any Top engineering school in the world that gives me a freedom to make decision about career without any compulsions. Only IITs, Top NITs and Top Schools in any other developed country can give this opportunity. By Career decision I mean the decision to switch between Industry and academia easily.

Importantly, wherever I wrote Top US universities I also wrote with scholarship that covers your living and fees there. Otherwise, it will be really difficult to manage everything and study. Also, only top students will get scholarships and that is really an honor to start with.

I wish you a great luck with whatever you choose for your future.

These are the top 5 m,tech universities in us
stanford university
university of california
cornell university
university of texas
california institute of technology


IIT is a good option but not good as compare to us universities because iit is mainly famous for b.tech.so us is the best option

Hi,
I would like to know the job prospects for a civil engineer in india if he pursues his MS from the US.
As in, is the effort worth it?

i got 99.08 percentile in 3rd year(m.e) do you think i should do mtech or to do prepare for psu......if mtech then what is the advantage from it........

criteria for getting scholarship in ms

what are the criteria for ms in uk......

These universities in US are most preferred for the masters degrees. The best universities in US are:

Harvard University
Princeton University
Yale University
Columbia University
Stanford University
University of Pennsylvania
California Institute of Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Dartmouth College
Duke University

But mind it that doing your masters in abroad will be very much costlier, and if you are just a person of a middle class family you may not be able to afford the fees.

IIT's in India are also the best colleges of India and can also compete those universities. You can also complete your masters in structural engineering from IIT's also.

hi,
i would like to knw the job prospect back in india after my Ms in civil engineering(structural) from arizona state university.?? and also job prospects india after phd from us??

Sir i wanted to go in us after mtech from iit

hi dear.
the top university are as follows....



good luck.........

what is the job package offered for a MS in structural engg from a reputed university from US with zero experience in US?

Hi


M.Tech stands for the Master's in Technology. Its basically a full time 2 years course which is the advanced form of B.Tech or B.E

Just like in India its called M.Tech, in the United States of America this course is referred to as M.S - Master's in Science. It consists of a more detailed study about the same.


Now If you are a bit confused to choose between the M.Tech in IIT's or M.S in US Universities, I would state a few points that would help you decide.


First of all you should be in a position to decide for this, ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE GOT A CALL FROM ANY OF THE IIT's for admission.

You must clear GATE exam very well before you can talk about studying M.Tech in any of the IIT's. Its one of the toughest exams in the country and so until you clear it, you do not even have the option of studying in IIT's.


Yeah but if you have, then I would suggest that IIT's are a better Universities if you look in terms of technical education and the quality of faculties they have.

US Universities are not bad, but they charge up for everything. When you pay lacs, you are obvious to get good quality. But the IIT's are a brand and yet they charge nominal.


If you are not worried about the charges and course fees, then you can always give yourself an exposure and take admission in top US Universities.

Some of the top Universities in United States are :


1. Harvard University

2. Princeton University

3. Yale University

4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology

5. Stanford University

6. California Institute of Technology

7. University of Pennsylvania

8. Columbia University

9. Duke University


and many more...


So you can always thing about them. But the top IIT's in India are Kharagpur, Kanpur, Mumbai, Delhi, Madras, Roorkie, Guwahati


Hope this helps

All the best.

1. Harvard University 2. University of Virginia 3. University of Michigan 4. Cornell University 5. University of Washington 6. Stanford University 7. University of Wisconsin-
Madison 8. University of Florida 9. Yale University 10. Duke University.......you
should try for all these
univerities....best of luck

This list would be too long. You need to narrow it down by specialization or location. For example, if you want to go to California, then check out California Institute of Technology. If you want a university that specializes in aeronautics, you may want to check out the George Washington University which has a great program in association with NASA. Some publications have developed rankings for US universities. Check out this page http://www.macquil.com for a list of them.

HI Dear

M.tech stands for Master in Technology

This is for US or IIT

That is better if you do M.Tech in IIT
Because if you passed in IIT if you are indian
Then you better known what is the Respect for this..........

So advice to do M.Tech in IIT..


Here i mention some IIT name:-




Good luck.............
