M.Tech Preparation

Nowadays, the same problem occurs to many students. The fact is it is not easy to get government jobs nowadays. You can prepare for government job but do not sit ideal just thinking that you will get government job. I would recommend you to go for M.Tech side by side. As your year will not be waste and you will prepare yourself for government job and aloo for M.Tech. While applying for M.Tech make sure you will get admission in IIT or NIT or some top private institute. It will be waste of M.Tech if you go for low level colleges.

If you plan to skip college and rather study at a coaching centre. Small colleges usually don't have proper faculty or means for students. You will have a hard time understanding even basic concepts let alone the preparation of GATE.

Yes, you can prepare for CMAT along with it.

After your M.Tech, your entry cadre will be that of Assistant Professor. You can make a career progression to Associate Professor and Professor later on with experience if you have a Ph.D.

Preparing for PSU exams is a better option as if it is cleared your career will be stable. Also, the salary package in PSU is also good. The career options in PSU are good as compared to private jobs.

Get involved in a lot of project works, research activities, workshops, seminars etc. which will help you showcase your intellect, interest and skills. Focus on your academics but a university like MIT are looking for all-rounders. So even if your grades are good but you have nothing special about your profile chances of admissions are less. Your co-curricular activities need not necessarily be into academics. You must also prepare for the GRE. All the best.
