Do I really need to do M.Tech? or just start early and find a job? Spend some time after the degree, learn some professional course and start looking for a job. What shall I do? Everything is dark and I don’t know how the future will be. I want to do something good and help others but I don’t know how.
These are few common questions that almost every final year engineering student has in mind. I had similar questions when I was in B.Tech’s final year, and I had friends who made different decisions at that time. Few prepared GRE and TOFEL and went to US and few took computer courses and joined software industry, few went to government jobs and few like me moved for M.Tech.
First let me share my reasons of doing M.Tech. I always thought of doing a highly respected, high paid job and a job where I have more control to do things that I like. Unfortunately, I found myself not competent enough to compete with top students for finding a job in Microsoft or Google. On the other hand, trying to reach there with experience in smaller companies usually takes a lot of time and after that gaining a authoritative position would have taken few more years.
Here, I got a chance to think of the best way to get higher positions in a short time. I felt that the entry to this is only possible through IITs. For that either I had to wait for a year and give GATE and score high or try for PhD. Again I made a good move and decided to not to waste another year for going to IITs and moved for M.Tech.
The first thing I did in M.Tech was that I avoided mistakes I did in B.Tech. I read the tough subjects in vacation and stood ahead of any other student in class. I worked on increasing my percentage to make it high enough for any company. I did an internship at Wipro and IIT Madras and finally dissertation at Defense Labs Hyderabad.
The first and foremost advantage of doing M.Tech is that you get time to think where things are going and how you can control them. Where do you want to go and what is your ultimate destination. You know the mistakes you made in B.Tech thus u can avoid them and improve to recover from them.
The second advantage of doing M.Tech is that you add a value to education and will definitely have benefit in the long run. As we are moving ahead in life our educational qualifications are becoming more and more important. At some point where all other competitors have same technical skills you will be given preference over others because of qualification.
The third advantage is that you will get more insight into the subjects as this time you are mature enough to understand the subjects. Usually teachers or professors are better than the ones who taught you in B.Tech and you are more exposed to applications.
The fourth advantage is you will have good friends who are similar to you and trying hard to move ahead in life. If your institute is good you will see all of them in high positions in future, their contacts may be good enough for you to start new projects and help many.
There are lots of other advantages of doing a higher degree. But there may be many social constraints and difficulties that may prevent you from doing master degree. Everyone knows their situation better than others and can make best decisions based on that. You can push your plans of having a master degree little later and gain few years of experience before. With M.Tech I also mean any master degree just not M.Tech. Wish you all a great luck in your future endeavors.

Hi!
))
I am a mechanical engg grad of 2008 batch. Rite after college i accepted a job offer in a software company through campus placement and continued working till nov, 2009 when i quit. After that i appeared for gate 2010 but couldnt get a decent score. Now i am 26 years old. i am confused as to what to do now. if i go for an MTECH thru gate 2011 then by the time i pass out i’ll be 29 years and i am completely unaware of the job prospects that i’ll hav at that time. Will my age be a disadvantage for getting jobs or its absolutely fine to go for an MTECH at 26 years. What is the best way to go forward according to you??? Please Help!!!
Thanks in advance!
Sarang: As you know placements are excellent in IITs and very good at NITs. If you get into these institutes you can always talk to the company HR come for campus placements or you can also try off campus jobs and experienced engineer. Hope you will get good advantage of your qualifications.
hello sir, i am B.E. Mechanical engineering student graduating in may-2011 and i m already placed with Linde Engineering india (German engineering company in oil and gas sector http://www.linde-india.com/ ) as a GET. I am also preparing for GATE-11 and hope of doing good in it as well. I always wanted to be designer and job profile is same so plan to work for some(1-2) years before going for M.Tech, there is 1 yr intensive training at Linde on joining from which i will learn many practical things because of which i will have added advantage while doing M.Tech. Also i am not much good at soft skills and just about average in communication skills which i think will develop while working with Linde which deals with many regions of world. What do u think am i doing the right thing or i should directly go for M.Tech after my graduation?
Waiting for your reply in anticipation
Thanks in advance
sorry sir,
posted query without reading other posts by u.
u hav already discussed d issue in another post. thanx once again for starting and maintaining such site.
Thanx a ton for ur encouragement!!! u dont kno how relieved i am now…. thanx again!!! keep up the gud work!!!
That was an awsome suggestion. Doing M.Tech after having two years of job experience makes the degree very precious one. Thanx a lot for the suggestion!!!
Thank you sir,iam adarsh.rite now iam doing B.tech first year in IIIT.I have the dream of doing m.tech in releated physics domain.give me some suggestions to make myself as clearer please sir, i am waiting for your response!

hi to everyone….
this is really good comment written by Mr.Zahid sir,
do not worry abt ur job?
At this stage INDIA in a row of fastest growing country in any type of field,

don’t waste your time to think such question’s?
just do that.
Such thing u were to prepare in academic year while doing B.E/B.tech,
now this time is to take action?
if u r thinking u may get lot of option!
But When u do u have only ONE option.
so do that .
and all the best for ur GATE 2011.
