The IITs are funded by the Government so it has complete authority to give admission to anyone. The teachers or the students are not the stakeholders in the case of IITs. It is the Government that pays the teachers' salaries and installs the various facilities. The Government is at complete freedom to decide who can come into ITs and who needs a push in the form of the reservation to join ITs. The aspirants know beforehand that the Government has set such rules according to its own discretion. No one is forced to give the exam and you can always choose any other option if you think it’s unfair. Aspirants know that there might be cases where a candidate with 10k or above rank will get admission in contrast to the general cutoff. They still fill out firms in hope of clearing the exam. You are precisely giving a Government Exam and need to follow all the necessary rules. So it indeed is justified if someone with a 10k rank is able to make it into IIT Bombay.

IIT Madras has a beautiful campus. If you are an animal lover, you will love it. Blackbuck runs around the campus like stray dogs. Monkeys can enter your hostel rooms anytime, and rob you. It’s also pretty normal to see Hyenas roaming around the campus at night.  IIT Madras campus used to be a part of Guindy National Park. Different departments are literally scattered around the jungle. The campus has many overhead tanks. You can sneak out at night with your friends and watch Chennai city from the top of these tanks (though it is against the rules).  Elliot beach is only 4 km away from the campus. You can take your bicycle out to watch the beautiful sunrise from the Bay of Bengal.

If you want to work in the field of Supply Chain Management then NITIE PGDIE is a better option. The course offers cushy placements. NITIE PGDIE placements 2022 had a median CTC of around INR 19 LPA. 

When it comes to selecting an IIT for your M.Tech program, it's important to keep in mind that there is no significant difference between the various IITs in terms of academics. While some individuals may adjust more quickly to the IIT culture, every M.Tech program is held to the same academic standards, regardless of which IIT you choose. Whether you're pursuing CSE, a CS M.Tech program is nearly as valuable as a CS B.Tech/Dual program in terms of job placement, regardless of the IIT you attend. With this in mind, it may make sense for you to consider IIT Madras, particularly if it meets your criteria. While IIT Bombay may have a strong reputation, it's important to keep in mind that all IITs are of similar quality. As a CS postgraduate, the specific IIT you attend is not likely to make a significant difference in your career prospects. Instead, focus on finding a program that aligns with your academic goals and personal preferences. Ultimately, the decision of which IIT to attend is a personal one and should be based on a variety of factors, such as program offerings, location, and student life. Don't feel pressured to choose a specific IIT just because it has a reputation for excellence. Instead, consider all your options carefully and select the program that is the best fit for you. With hard work and dedication, you can achieve success in any M.Tech program, regardless of the IIT you attend.
