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.
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.
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.
In terms of placement for Electrical Engineering students in Systems Engineering at IIT BHU, there are several opportunities provided by companies of various domains. The selection of a student in a specific job profile depends on the interest of the student towards that specific domain.

Key Highlights:
Overall, there are several options in placement for students in Systems Engineering at IIT BHU. Mostly, the selection of a student depends on his/her choice in the working area or depends on the project developed by the student during his/her tenure. There is a good chance for a student to get a proper match in the job profile offered by the companies.
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.
Campus Placement of IEOR at IIT Bombay is carried out in two phases. For the last two years, IIT Bombay has managed to earn its credibility by maintaining a 100% mark for MTech students. With the increase in the demand for IEOR, the number of students willing to pursue this program is increasing every year. This year the total seats for IEOR were 32.
Given the current scenario, IEOR is no longer restricted to OR Analysts. The job prospects of this program have broadened with some major roles like

One can easily conclude that the placements of IEOR at IIT Bombay are just average. They provide you with the necessary opportunities only. It’s you who has to pave the way to success.
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 –
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.
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.
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
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
Considering decent placements and rigorous coursework, MTech in Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi is not a bad idea.
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.
You should choose according to your career plan. M.Tech in Design is a core field of engineering. This branch will be better if you plan on pursuing a Ph.D.
If you want jobs with good salary packages, Industrial Engineering from IIT BHU will be better. Scop of Industrial Engineering is pretty good in India. Students of this branch get job opportunities from sectors like delivery/logistic companies, eCommerce sites, textile industries, FMCG, and manufacturing.
