How does MTech mechatronics at IIT Patna compare to the same at NIT Surathkal?
Posted On - Mar 20, 2021The Mechatronics branch in itself is not very developed in India irrespective of whichever institute offers it. IIT Patna is a new IIT and lacks the necessary resources and infrastructure while NIT Surathkal has a very challenging curriculum for MTech Mechatronics. The breakdown is 60% Mechanical and 40% Electronics. Students from other domains find it difficult to cope with the rigorous curriculum.
Although the faculty pool comprises good professors, the placement scenario is just average. So try looking for other options or go for IIT Patna instead.
My brother is pursuing MTech Mechatronics from IIT Patna. So, I have some ideas about the degree program. If you are a Robotics or Mechatronics enthusiast, you are perfect for this course.
- The course curriculum is great. It is easy to score decent CGPA as compared to other departments.
- There are two departmental labs. One of the labs has necessary instrumentation, to carry out the course work. The other is set up by Bosch to study engine ECUs.
- Placement for this branch is average. If you are talented and work for it you can also get internship offers.
- Companies like TVS, Tata Innovation Lab visit the campus for R&D profiles.
MTech Mechatronics at IIT Patna is a decent option, you can definitely go for it.
