Well, I have an EWS reservation. For this academic year of 2023-2024 the cutoff was around 713-1068 something. The application forms will be provided on the official websites of the respective institute. Well for me I have EWS with less than 1LPA salary of my father. We need an Income Certificate as proof to get an EWS reservation. We can get an Income Certificate in Meeseva and get it signed by the respective MRO. Well, not that much improvement I wish I had seen in the admission process.

You should have secured a minimum of 75% in your class 12th/PUC or equivalent through an AICTE-approved college. There is a relaxation to 65% marks if you belong to the SC/ST category. You should clear JEE Main and then JEE Advance to get into IIT MADRAS. JEE mains happens twice a year (tentatively Jan & April). The application for it will be available on the NTA official website. After clearing the cutoff set by NTA you are eligible to write JEE Advance (tentatively in May). After clearing JEE Advance, based on your rank you will have to fill preference, then you might get allocated IITM based on your rank and availability. You can visit the official website of IITM www.iitm.ac.in to find the reservation details of each course. If your rank is very good then you will be allotted a seat in the general category no matter which category you belong to.

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.

Admission to a Ph.D. program at IIT Madras depends on a number of factors. The GATE cutoff doesn’t have much weightage in the selection process. For shortlisting, IIT Madras considers the 10th, 12th, graduation, and masters percentile along with your GATE percentile. You need to have a valid GATE score but the required score is lower compared to the M.Tech cutoff. 

For selection, more emphasis is placed on your performance in the written test and interview.

Both IIT Delhi and IIT Madras are highly reputed institutes, and both have excellent electrical engineering departments. It is challenging to declare one institute as definitively better than the other as both are highly regarded and have their unique strengths. However, here are some points to consider that might help you in making a decision:

In terms of faculty, both IIT Delhi and IIT Madras have highly qualified and experienced professors, who are experts in their fields. However, the research output of IIT Delhi's electrical department is slightly higher than that of IIT Madras.

In terms of infrastructure and facilities, both institutes are well-equipped with state-of-the-art labs and equipment. However, IIT Madras has a larger and more extensive campus, which includes several research centers and facilities, making it a hub for cutting-edge research in the field of electrical engineering.

Both institutes have excellent placement records, with several reputed companies visiting the campus for recruitment. However, IIT Delhi has a slightly higher average placement package compared to IIT Madras.

Choosing between the two ultimately comes down to personal preferences and priorities. If you value research and a wider range of facilities, IIT Madras may be a better choice. However, if you prioritize placement opportunities and slightly higher research output, IIT Delhi may be the better choice.
