Yes, you can pursue MDes after completing BTech. However, colleges may have their own eligibility criteria that would have to fulfil. Since, MDes is an advanced degree you would be expected to have basic 'Design Aptitude'. You would be able to pursue MDes without much difficulty if you understand terminology and concepts that are covered in a Design bachelor's degree such as BDes, BSc Fashion Design, BSc Textile Design etc.

Both IIT Guwahati and IIT Kanpur offer strong M.Des programs with IIT Guwahati known for prominent faculty and labs (ergonomics, usability) and IIT Kanpur offers interdisciplinary flexibility and good placements (especially in UI/UX).
