How is the placement of MTech in IIT gandhinagar?
Posted On - Aug 14, 2020M.Tech placements at IIT Gandhinagar are just mediocre considering the fact that most companies prefer freshers and thus UG students are given more preference in placements. Students are given 2 or 3 chances with high packages in Electrical in the range of 10–20 LPA.
Some of the companies that recruited students from the Electrical branch in the past years are Texas Inst., Marvell, John Deere, Johnson Controls, Belcan India, Bombardier Transportation, etc.
Overall, IIT Gandhinagar despite being a new IIT has made its mark in the global market. The students are provided enough foreign university exposure and are encouraged to do research work as well. The institute not only strengthens your concepts but also gives you the most coveted IIT tag.
IIT Gandhinagar is among the new IITs. So, the placement statistics of this institute are not at par with the old IITs, but still, decent packages are offered. Unlike the UG students, M.Tech students have to rely mostly on core jobs. Due to this, the percentage of students getting placed in M.Tech is relatively less than B.Tech students. For the class of 2019, the average placement package offered was around 6.6 LPA. The average package for B.Tech was higher than this because they had an option to choose non-core jobs as well. And non-core jobs usually pay higher than core jobs. Some companies which offered jobs to the M.Tech students are John Deere, Johnson Controls, Belcan India, Bombardier Transportation, Marvell Semiconductor, Hyundai Motors, RKC Infrabuilt, MCX India, General Electric, Reliance Jio Infocomm, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hatch Associates, GIFT and many more.
Some M.Tech students also get funded Ph.D. invitations from prestigious institutes on the basis of their research. But as the years are progressing, the placement scenario is also improving here. For the year 2016-2017, the PG median salary was 5.5 LPA. For the year 2017-2018, it was 6 LPA. For the year 2018-2019, it was 6.6 LPA. This shows that placement statistics are improving every year. More companies, PSUs, and Research & Development Organizations are coming to recruit M.Tech students.
