IITians always have a headstart in most of the things , be it interviews , be it asking for funds from VCs , be it meeting with board of any company to present their ideas and much more . I wanted to ask one thing that if you are even a metallurgy student in BTech at IIT BOMBAY then you will be able to land roles in consulting, IBs , product, growth but is the situation same for mtech students at IITs who are planning to puruse their masters , will they have same value
Btech students at IIT call mtech as Matka.
Means u can't get through IIT so gate.
In long term it depends on ur perseverance, after 10y even a tier 4 grad can beat IIT cse guy if latter doesn't work hard.
You can't eat the degree feast for long
Agreed
Consulting/Investment Banking/FMCG roles are simply not open to MTech students
MTech placements are focused on core placements, with the occasional non-core analytics roles
Yeah that's what I was curious to know
The value of Btech IITians is due to two factors:
Clearing a Gate course and being in an Mtech course in IIT doesn't fulfill any of these, hence the value isn't that much.
But BITS enjoys similar perks, due to nailing Point 2.
Sundar Pichai was metallic and look him now
*Metallurgy 😂 also pichai was Bachelors student, read the question properly my friend.
PS: Hope you realise you essentially just called pichai “boht hard boht hard”
Yup , but he did his masters from Stanford and then MBA from Wharton and then joined Google as product manager
I have seen people from meta-B in consulting firms. Having said that, you should always look for options you’re getting.
Yeah great , but my point is of if I am a civil/mech/chem mtech student at one of the old IITs who wants to go to other fields like BTech students then will same opportunities will be available or I have to only go in that research/teaching if not in core companies
If u are good at coding you can go for sde jobs. But non tech roles like strategy consulting would be a bit hard. U can try for analytics consulting though
Ok, Does being from IIT mtech give you an advantage in company selection?
Does it open new roles like research in companies which might not be available to a btech graduate ?
What's the particular edge you have seen that Mtech provide...
A friend of me, did his btech from one of the top and oldest iit, in core branch, average with tech skillset and profile. Howver, despite he not looking for a job right now, is still getting approached by recruiters. Whereas, my other f...

My nephew has both these options (and IITD/B Mech,etc) to choose from . From the perspective of career growth, which one is better. Consider all factors like prospects in CS, institute brand, etc that help in building a career.
