Remarks
I completed by B.Tech in Aerodynamics from IIT Bombay itself and in the final year of graduation i decided that i will pursue my master's here only, since i knew the college, its every nook and corner and its campus life. I gave GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) to qualify the entrance parameters for M.Tech. The admission fee was Rs. 2200. My application was submitted online along with the payment.
Course Curriculum Overview
A maximum of two electives can be chosen by the student. The entire course is of 164 credits. I used to spend most of my time in labs and learning the practical concepts of the course. This time helped me a lot in my internship period. Eminent personalities from the Aerodynamics industry were also invited for the guest lectures. Some of the department professors had performed some years of industry work to enhance their skills and knowledge before joining IIT.
Placement Experience
Placement Common Aptitude Test (PCAT) is one common test student has to sit for before appearing for the placements on the campus. 428 offers ( 71- Aerospace ) were made in the field of Engineering and Technology. 83% of my batch mates got the jobs. Each top-notch company, multinational company and conglomerates participated in this placement week and picked up the bright students of the batch.
Fees and Financial Aid
If you score a good percentile in the GATE exam, then you can apply for the scholarship with the institute and avail of financial assistance. Also, if you belong to a category like SC/ST/OBC and are financially unstable then you need to submit the required proof and apply for the scholarship. I didn't avail any such financial assistance since the fees was pretty affordable for me.
Campus Life
Not much time is available for an M.Tech student to enjoy campus life at its best. I was not a part of any club or committee. Although, I attended every TedX event, cultural event, and sports one on the campus. The infrastructure of the campus is world-class and each lab is equipped with the latest technology and scientific equipment. Social life helped me in meeting new friends and developing connections.
