[venkat kumar]

Hi all,
I am right now working in a software company in bangalore.I wanted to do my higher studies(M.Tech..).I am not interested to do my MBA now but maybe later on..
So can anyone pls tell me what are all the good colleges to do my Post-graduate.
I heard that IIIT-Bangalore is a very good college with good placement records..so does any one have any idea about this college..? entrance test and other details..pls..

Thanks all,
Venkat.

Definitely IISc, Bangalore is the best for your post graduation.

[Ravi Sekar]

Since I am from IIIT-B..I can give you some details about that..
The M.tech programme is of 2 years durations..There are 4 semesters and in the last semester you can either opt for research or internship..The selction procedure is through All India written test followed by a technical interview..Your Gate score will also be taken into consideration..If you have a high Gate score you have an advantage..
Talking about research this is the first institution to get planetlab machines in India(PlanetLab is a Model for Evolving the Next-Generation Internet
PlanetLab is a network of computers strategically located at sites around the world, forming a testbed or platform for creating and deploying planetary-scale services - massive applications that span a significant part of the globe)...
Apart from that there are several research and consultancy projects currently goin on...The infrastructure is good--laptops for each students and the hostel and college are fully wireless enabled .

Coming to placements check out this report about the placements last year http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/dec092004/s3.asp
Several top companies come to college..This year the companies which came to college are google,yahoo,microsoft,Hp research labs,Cisco,Intel,Fiberlink,Sap Labs,i2,C-cor networks,Sap labs,GE,EMC,Seimens Corporate Research Technology..Highest package was 12 lakh/annum,Median pay is 4.2 lakh/annum..Lowest:3.75 lakh/annum..

if you have further questions do write your queries..

But I heard that studying in IIITb is expensive, a normal middle class man cannot afford it.
Is it true ?

[Ravi Sekar]

Fees per semester is 50k....but you have good number of scholarships + You have teaching assistantship in 3rd sem ..+ you will also be getting a stipend around 15k in your 4th sem..
Lots of banks also offer loans without security.

Even though you get good campus interview 50 K is quite expensive for a student while at college days.
Thanks for the inputs

Boss!There is no free lunch

[venkat kumar]

Hi Su Ming,
your name sounds like a chinese name..
In your company list I cannnot see any of the Indian MNC companies like Infy,TCs,wipro,cts.. ..why they don't pay that much ..?
and what degree they give..?

Thanks all,
Venkat

[Ravi Sekar]

Hi Venkat,

I am a PCO(Person of Chinese Orgin)..Thats why the Chinese name

The onus of deciding what companies are to be called lies with the students..They rank the companies in the order of attractiveness..Usually students prefer to work in a Product companies over Service companies(I personally dont think that is a good decision)..Based on majority preferences the companies are called..

[venkat kumar]

Hi Su,
I think it's strange that Chinese person is studying in India..why you don't have better collges in your country..?

They rank the companies in the order of attractiveness

attractivenss means what..good HRs.. then I think service companies have better HRs..

[Ravi Sekar]

Venkat,

What do you mean by good HR?..good in what aspect??

I am a PCO born and brought up in India...

[Ravi Sekar]

Venkat,

Why do you think like an accused..?
Attractiveness doesn't mean physical attractiveness..ok..
attractiveness in terms of Work,work culture.pay etc....

[venkat kumar]

Hi all,
I consulted some more of my friends..it seems iiitb placement track record is good ...so I have decided to prepare for that..

Thanks to all for your replies..

Hi Venkat,

I am an Mtech (CSE) from Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal!!!
Its a great institute, with superb campus placements.

[Raghu Rajamarian]

Hi Shankar,
Can you say about your campus placements,average,highest and lowest salary figures..?

[shan Iyer]

Well, almost all companies like IBM,Intel,EMC,i2,Bosch and a hell lot of Indian companies come. However, Microsoft,SAP,SUN dont come. salaries may be not as high as IIITb, but are however very decent. Lowest could be companies like Satyam and Wipro, which pay around 2.75lacs p/a for Btech and around 3.1 for Mtech. Highest could hover somewhere around 4.75 lacs with EMC or i2. However, Manipal is next best to IIIT and the IITs and one will surely have >1 offer in hand considering the number of companies that come to the campus.Second Yr Mtech is only prooject work for the entire year,and most of the students get absorbed by those companies themselves where they are carrying out the project.Even if they are not, job is guaranteed in campus!!! Also, Hostel life is the greatest enjoyment of Manipal!!

Cherio,
Shankar
