IIT

IIT is more popular than VIT Mauritius. IIT is well known for its academic offerings, research opportunities, and strong alumni networks. On the other hand, VIT Mauritius is quite a new campus of VIT and may not have the same establishments and reputation. In addition, the cost to pursue B.Tech programs at IIT is way cheaper than VIT Mauritius due to the government funding.

During the final year of BSc in Zoology. After that, I received an invitation to apply for M.Tech in IIT-Delhi. But, unfortunately, to pursue M.Tech degree, one should have B.Tech or MSc degree in relevant subjects. Thus, even after qualifying GATE during my bachelor's, I couldn't join or at least apply for M.Tech in any of the IITs.

The newer IITs offering Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) include IIT Ropar, IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Patna, IIT Indore, IIT Mandi, IIT Tirupati, IIT Palakkad, IIT Dharwad, IIT Bhilai, IIT Goa, and IIT Jammu. These institutes offer B.Tech and M.Tech programs in CSE.

The IIT Dharwad M.Tech programme is offered with various specialisations. Some of the popular specialisations opted for by many students are M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, M.Tech in Aerospace Engineering, and MTech in Electrical Engineering. Out of all, M.Tech in Electrical Engineering has the highest number of seats, i.e., 40. Students must appear for COAP counselling with a GATE score to get a seat.

IIT Dharwad offers a limited number of seats for M.Tech courses. As per official sources, the institute offers 106 seats spread across different M.Tech specialisations. Students who wish to get a seat must have appeared for the GATE exam. Students are also required to participate in the COAP counselling process.
