MS and after engg. education options...

[avi]

Guys I want to know what are my after engineering options. Currently I am studying engineering, Comp Science.

I am not interested in MBA and also in job. So what are my after engineering education options ? Mtech in IIT would be my last option. Searching for other alternatives.

How about DRDO, IISC ? I know they require good scores, but what are exams I have to write ? Minimum criteria ? My current CGPA is 9.2 and I am sure it will be 9.4 - 9.5 by completion :hap2:

and also MS in US. I know getting into Top colleges is very hard, but that's also one of my option. But I have zero research background, so would that make my entry into top colleges impossible ?

and how about MS in Singapore or Germany or Others ??? I have no money problem. But if doing MS in Germany/SGP/UK/NZ is as same as US, then I would go for it. Personally I would chose Singapore as I was told wether is good out there and suitable for south indians

TIA

Wth is DRDO, IISC?

Well, you need to appear in GATE for IISC as well. And yeah, the number of projects and papers really matter for MS in a good University in US. For DRDO, there is a separate exam I think.

^^ one thing is for sure...the op is not from mumbai univ

btw how do u calculate cgpa

it wont be uniform

i mean in states like TN everybody gets above 80%

and in mumbai univ ...

a person has to 'shit his brains' out even to get above 70%

 

[Superbad]

^i would say 60% in mum university is rare. Though subject to the field.

 

[RS4]

I guess OP is from some autonomous college under VTU,karnataka and getting above 8.5 is not that hard there :cool2:

@avi: if u intend to do ur job in US after MS then only it makes sense. There is no point going to US for MS and coming back to India to pursue job. You would be still considered as a B.E/Btech graduate.

IISc is good.. Do note, if you are the caliber of the IIT then it would make sense to pursue as they are almost on the similar lines. Lots of opportunities. Regarding DRDO.. entry id tough but if you crack their exams then its life's good. Lots of challenging oppurtunities. If you have a cgpa of 9.0+ then getting 1500+ score in GRE should be a piece of cake for you which can boost your chance to get in good univ in US.

On off-topic: i agree with most posts here that getting above 60% is a real slog when it comes to scoring from MU. MU Zindabad!!

Thank you so much, your reply was so helpful chiron. kthxbi.

Well, you need to appear in GATE for IISC as well. And yeah, the number of projects and papers really matter for MS in a good University in US. For DRDO, there is a separate exam I think.

Yes, will preparing for GATE also. I am doing my own project, so I believe that counts a lot. And as of now no papers, will try to do next sem. And please more info regarding DRDO

Cgpa 9.2 ??? :O

Which college are you in ?

K'taka, VTU, as RS4 said :hap2:

More important question: how o how? I couldn't single task and get anywhere near that in college, inspite of my single minded focus on watching p0rn

hyeah:

^^ one thing is for sure...the op is not from mumbai univ

Yes, you are right. Converting my CGPA in % makes it around 85%.

I guess OP is from some autonomous college under VTU,karnataka and getting above 8.5 is not that hard there :cool2:

No shit Sherlocks !! You are 100% right :hap2: and still I have not received my 35k

Well getting above 8.5 is not hard unless one is clever. We have internal marks 50 and external 50. If one manages to get 40-45 in internals, then 8.5> is fix For that you have lick lecturers arse. No kidding. You have to listem whatever they say, keep quiet in class, do this & that work and all shit. But getting 8.5 is not that easy. But getting above 7.5 is very very easy. I have kinda bad image infront of lecturers, so they screw my internal marks. I get 35-45 in internals and I target maximum in externals. And yeah, I am a college topper [SGPA - 9.72 ]

Now lets all stop about my marks, I alone know how I got them :bleh: Sacrificed so many hours of sleep :no:

Now concentrate on OP and help me !!!

@avi: if u intend to do ur job in US after MS then only it makes sense.

Yes tejas, I intend to stay there and do job. I am aware of that

IISc is good.. Do note, if you are the caliber of the IIT then it would make sense to pursue as they are almost on the similar lines. Lots of opportunities. Regarding DRDO.. entry id tough but if you crack their exams then its life's good. Lots of challenging oppurtunities.

Please tell me more about DRDO and IISCs. Is my CGPA enough ? or do I still have to get more :| and also tell me about entrance exams for DRDO and IISC. Thanks a lot

and yeah, VTU Zindabad

^^ If you plan to do M.Tech/ME at IISc then you would first need to clear GATE. I am not entirely sure if the process has changed over the years, but this was how it was many years back. For ME courses, the selection is based purely on the GATE score. You will need a score in excess of 99.90 (probably much higher now) to make it. For the M.Tech course you will have an additional test and interview rounds at their campus. When I went through the process in 2002, they called in 300 odd candidates with a cut off of 95 odd percentile in GATE. The test is pretty much GATE like, only a lot tougher with considerable emphasis on math. I didn't make it past the test, but from what I have seen, the interview lasts 1~1.5 hrs with about 7 professors sapping the last remaining strength out of you. By the time the interview is finished, people were barely able to walk. All in all they selected about 5 candidates on that day.

 

[chiron]

They probably assign weightage for the gate score and also for internal exam and interview to make the selection and iirc they take about 50 students or so for the ME program at CSA.

 

[Arun1]

^^ Last I checked, minimum 70% should be allocated for the Gate score as per govt. rules.Rest 30% can be Aptitude, theory test, interview etc.

For Phd though Gate is just for qualification, admission would be entirely dependent on written test and interview.

 

[sabby]

Regarding IISC, now a days, GATE ranks are considered for ME. Upto AIR 50/60 they take direct admission IIRC, after that I guess you have to go thru' interview process but that too usually ends within AIR 100 IIRC. Also, there is a different MS program apart from ME and for that they call well over AIR 700 candidates for interview. But You should be from some decent college/university with good CGPA & projects besides your performance in the interview.

For DRDO, I don't have much idea, you can check their website.

 

[PhotostarSR]

@avi, which college?

 

[abhifusion]

Pune University is similar to MU if not tougher ... 90% of the passing students fall in 50-60% bracket :-| ...

 

[chiron]

^^ I think there is something really rotten with all the profs in these older colleges giving 60% and even less on average... basically ensures that quite a few of the students wouldn't even be able to apply for the companies who place 65% cutoff while people from way worse colleges happily go for them with 80-90%.

GATE is not a problem. I am ready for hardwork I don't usually mug up things, always tried understand them and study, so I suppose I can do well in GATE if I do bit more hardwork.

I am not entirely sure if the process has changed over the years, but this was how it was many years back. For ME courses, the selection is based purely on the GATE score. You will need a score in excess of 99.90 (probably much higher now) to make it.

:O 99.90 ? :|

Okay, whats the difference between ME and MTech ? I thought both are same :ashamed:

but from what I have seen, the interview lasts 1~1.5 hrs with about 7 professors sapping the last remaining strength out of you. By the time the interview is finished, people were barely able to walk. All in all they selected about 5 candidates on that day.

Hmmm....please tell me whats CSA and ME :-/ I am so n00b right.

I am so confused !!!
