This is the eligibility for becoming a professor at IITs.I have 64.68% marks in BE which still counts as second class in our university.So in case I have an MTech from IIT will I be fine.Does the preceding degree refer only to Mtech here. I wish to join academia so I am asking.

Within one year I quit the job and started preparing for Gate, got admission in IIT Roorkee as couldn't qualify for PSU, also I could not crack ESE (state government jobs are almost zero these days). But did masters with good interest as I started to enjoy engineering, I published a research paper in masters and later got campus placement in a cunsulancy having package of 12 LPA. Year later I quit the job as I got PMRF assistantship (I also had offers from foreign universities, but couldn't join due to family issues). So for me if doing M. Tech from IITs is worth. It changed my life. bharathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092018393032313459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-3871783570475285742020-09-09T15:53:43.281+05:302020-09-09T15:53:43.281+05:30Agree with your views.

E.g many machine learning courses are offered freely with only 1000rs If you want to face the exam. Standard of these courses are very high compared to many other intl universities where they offer watered down courses when compared to in class courses.<br />If someone is in india, it is better to take these courses 2-3 subjects / sem while they are working so that in 2-3 years, they will be far superior in their knowledge. Much better way to gain knowledge and not lose monetarily.sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012338423685424255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-56395539691723397152020-09-09T13:54:22.280+05:302020-09-09T13:54:22.280+05:30@Unknown, The college experience is important and ...@Unknown, The college experience is important and hence UG isn't going away any time soon. We can't have all lifelong learning on campus, since it is too expensive. And my point is that the only reason a Tier 3 UG graduate is coming to Tier 2 MTech program is because on one hand, we have hugely subsidized the costs, and on the other hand, he does not still evaluate his/her cost properly. Academic benefit is marginal at best. Therefore, in the blog I am suggesting that a Tier 3 college student should work a bit harder and get into a Tier 1 institute and now the gap is large enough that s/he will actually benefit from that experience.<br /><br />But everyone will have their own cost-benefit analysis and take their own decisions.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-69564091590347902102020-09-09T10:26:20.543+05:302020-09-09T10:26:20.543+05:30http://manishshrikhande.blogspot.com/2014/09/multi...http://manishshrikhande.blogspot.com/2014/09/multitude-of-mtech-programmes-question.html?m=1<br /><br />On the spot!

For example,<br />* There are many extremely poor undergraduate programs.The student can makeup for the lack of quality by topping it with a mid-ranked MTech degree. <br />* The cliques formed at the universities have life-long mutual benefits. These are missing in the online single topic lectures.<br />* Classroom imposes a discipline, focus and competition that encourages most students to complete the program.<br />* Mutual support among the students in the class and even from senior students is only available at a university based programs. It is not as strongly available in online courses.<br />* We must not forget that part-time and evening programs can easily let the students have best of the both option.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548792490577607135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-28015961105075961522020-09-09T06:12:15.951+05:302020-09-09T06:12:15.951+05:30Very interesting analysis.
