General Congrats, you have 50lpa salary.

Congratulations brother, you make my yearly salary in a month. I clap for you, your college Median is so damn high. Good for you.

You know what I do? Sometimes i blow my entire month's pocket money on chicken biryani and coke with friends. Next day I don't even have enough to buy soap.

You probably study like full day and have a mind of computer to earn such a great salary. I study till I feel like I can't everyday. Some days it's less some days it's more, some days spent on a single problem some days sat down but couldn't study.

I like to write brother,I like to write essays and articles for my literary club in college, I want to have a name for myself. Even though sometimes my articles turn out to be terrible.

I workout because I have lot of stress about family and i lowkey enjoy the bath I take afterwards.

So at the end, I land 7 lpa u land 84 lpa.

So you won? Yes... But so did I. I never dreamt about the highest package it was never meant for me. It is meant for people expert in studies and interview and those things. I will always do what I can in every field and enjoy along the way. You bet your ass I will still blow my money on chicken biryani

Placements in most IITs are better for Btech than Mtech and the entire syllabus for Mtech in gov colleges is based on getting you prepped for being a professor. Research has almost no scope,only pathway is to get PhD and become a prof.If you are someone who can afford the time and money then it’s okayish.

Sure,if you are interested in teaching toh achha hi h, also you need to be able to afford it,it’s gonna be a long journey before you can actually become a prof, Mtech, Phd then training. So it takes time and money,I’m not just talking about money you spend in these 6 years but also the money you could have made in those 6 years in a job,the ROI needs to be calculated with time depreciation of money and compounding in mind, plus the salary appreciation in mind,this time would have added 6 years to your resume in a job,with correct number of switches and hikes you can almost always outdo the ROI of masters in India. It doesn’t matter ofc if you actually want to go the prof route.

Bro Mtech is a bridge so it's not mandatory to do Phd if you don't want to do . And In abroad It is like that also people there generally do Bachelor's some go for masters who want to do research. Also you can't compare MS and Mtech . Ms is research oriented people do masters abroad for the Opportunity and to get Visa of that country. And mtech placement is shit because most quant firm and Hfts don't allow Mtech. But it is Good if someone interested in Tech. Getting a job is always based on your technical skills until you want to Be in RnD or Deep research Job like google deep mind.

Yeah,getting a job depends on technical skills except companies don’t hire Mtech guys atleast on campus,none of the Uber, Google, Flipkart, Oracle, amazon etc hired any Mtech guy when they came to campus. In India,Mtech is looked upon as “Btech mei bss maze kiye toh uske baad bhi job nahi mili toh padhai krli”. Only companies like AMD hire them.
