M.Tech overview:

Masters of Technology commonly known as M.Tech is common among Engineering students. This 2-year course helps students to emphasize on learning various technological aspects shortly and gives a better perspective towards the same. 

This program enables candidates to explore the nerves of technology and it prepares students to come up with ideas that can enhance the technological growth of the nation as well as benefit Human Life in the future.

M.Tech Streams:

There are various types of specializations available in M.Tech. A student may choose any of them according to their merit base as per their graduation course and interest. 

Fields like Computer Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Data Analyst, Agriculture Engineering, Marine Engineering, etc. are the most commonly used examples of specializations. 

Computer Engineering:

Opting for this course, students will be provided with in-depth knowledge of Computer Science Engineering with theoretical and practical knowledge of computer science concepts. This course includes Network, System Integration, Algorithms and Logic, Software Engineering, Distributed and Embedded Systems, and Digital Systems. 

Civil Engineering: 

This course especially emphasizes the knowledge of designing and supervising the construction of various structures like build, shape, maintain, and expand societies.

Data Analyst:

With the growing demand for consumer-oriented content, there’s a huge need for Data Analysts. To increase the proficiency of candidates in a particular engineering field, one must learn all tactics.

M.Tech Eligibility 2021:

A candidate must have B.Tech. or B.E. Degree from a recognized University. Aspirants who have cleared M.Sc. degree in Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Applications or equivalent can also apply. MCA aspirants are likewise qualified to apply for specializations accessible in sections of software engineering designing.

Merit depends upon the result of the Entrance Exam (GATE). 

M.Tech Admission 2021:

Generally, Admission in M.Tech depends upon the State or National level exams, while some institutes conduct entrance examination as their own. Candidates must have scored 50% to 60% in their degree program. 

After clearing the entrance exam, a student needs to go for counseling and personal interview rounds to evaluate the technical skills of the students.

Modes of M.Tech:

M.Tech being a practical subject cannot be pursued via Distance Learning or from Correspondence, but you can surely pursue a Part-time M.Tech. 

Regular M.Tech is getting more preference over Part-time M.Tech as it is a practical-based course and can give you the best exposure. 

Courses like Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, VLSI, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering can be pursued via Part-time M.Tech.

Job Opportunities and Salary Packages:

After successful completion of M.Tech degree, a candidate can get appointed as Computer Science Engineer, Assistance Engineer, Software Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Electronics Engineer, Mining Engineer, etc. 

On the other hand, one can apply for UGC NET, and become a lecturer. Research is also a good option and candidates can pursue Ph.D. courses in their respective fields.

Salary Packages may vary from 6 lakh to 23 lakh per annum. It also depends on the field chosen by the candidate. Mostly, jobs and salary packages offered in the software industry are quite attractive. However, jobs are available after pursuing other specializations as well.
