What are the career prospects after doing M.tech in Quality Reliability and Operations Research from ISI Kolkata?

RM

Ritabrita Mitra

01 Mar 22

The career prospect of doing M.Tech in Quality Reliability and Operations Research from ISI Kolkata can be divided into two parts, i.e. jobs and placements. You don’t need to worry about job prospects, you will get placement offers as a Business analyst or Data scientist with a similar CTC of top b-school graduates. According to the 2021 ISI Kolkata placement highlight, the average CTC offered was INR 19 LPA. 

Doing Ph.D. or higher studies can be difficult, especially if you are planning on going overseas. It’s better if you choose the Industrial Engineering domain. It will aline with QROR. If you are interested in Data Science or Machine Learning domain, you can consider doing some projects. ISI offers ample opportunities for such projects.

What is the scope after doing Quality, Reliability and Operations Research [M. Tech. (QROR)] from ISI Kolkata?

SH

Sreeparna Hazra

21 Sept 21

Well, I would if you are worried about job prospects and all stuff although being in ISI Kolkata then shed off your worry. Trust me; you will get a job with an average CTC matching with top B-Schools in India. Job roles such as Business Analyst/Data Scientist and many others will be offered to you.

Now let me help you more in understanding this. Let’s break this into two parts – Job vs. Higher Studies.

  • Pursuing Ph.D./Higher Studies is a tough deal if you're applying abroad.
  • My personal perspective, in this case, will be, go for a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering domain. 
  • That's the best option, as it will be aligned with QROR.
  • Now, you should definitely rethink before applying for the courses like Data Science/ Machine Learning domain, or Statistics.
  • For this, I would suggest you consider doing some projects. And if you are at the Indian Statistical Institute you will get a plethora of opportunities.

So first and foremost, just be crystal clear with your future endeavors before joining any course. Once you decide, opt for the best but don’t rush. Just give your best thought and calculate all the pros and cons.

How is the Industrial and Engineering and Management course at NIT Calicut?

VP

Vishal Pandey

26 Aug 21

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.

Which one is better: PGDIE at NITIE or MTech in nanoscience at IISc?

RD

Rajashree Dalui

11 Aug 21

It all actually depends on your interest. As both of these options are completely different and two different areas of interest. You must choose what you find interesting. There would not be any conflict between these two institutes over the placement stats as both of them will give good placements to their students. Here are the recent placement highlights of the institutes.

Parameters NITIE IISc
Average CTC 20 LPA 10 LPA
Highest CTC 43 LPA 40 LPA
Major recruiters ETLI, EY, IDFC First HP, Dell, Intel

If you are interested in tough work that is more challenging or research and development-oriented, you should choose IISc. As in the world of Nanoscience, IISc is the country’s most renowned institution. And if you are more inclined towards managerial work, then it would be better to go to NITIE.

How's an MTech in industrial engineering from IIT Delhi?

KS

Kunal Sharma

05 Apr 23

IIT Delhi M.Tech program in Industrial Engineering covers a wide range of topics such as statistics, probability, optimization, simulation, etc thus attracting more and more recruiters every year.

Of all the fields, a major part of the batch prefers Analytics mainly because of the packages offered and the kind of companies visiting for jobs related to Analytics. Analytics companies arrive way before supply chains and other companies and most students prefer going for Analytics only. 

However, the IE branch has much better scope in other Institutes like NITIE, IITB, and IITK. IIT Delhi also isn’t very lacking and its placement statistics are a testament to the same.

Around 80% of the entire batch was placed this year with the major recruiters include

  • Accenture
  • Barclays Bank
  • Capgemini
  • Deloitte
  • Flipkart
  • Hindustan Unilever
  • ICICI
  • JP Morgan Chase

Coursework: The coursework lacks diversity in comparison to the IEOR at Bombay or IEM at Kanpur. But the best part is the rigorous projects part of the curriculum that begins right from the first year itself. These projects are based on real-life problems in society covering fields such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and public policy while using modern programming tools such as Python, Matlab, Java, C, etc.

Some major courses offered in the program are

  • Probability and statistics
  • Linear and Non-linear optimization
  • Industrial Engineering Systems
  • Supply Chain Management
  • MPC (Maintenance Planning and Control)
  • Project Management
  • OPC (operations Planning and Control)
  • SMS (Stochastic Modeling and Simulation)
  • Value Engineering and life cycle costing
  • RAM (Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability)

Considering decent placements and rigorous coursework, MTech in Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi is not a bad idea.
