I am confident that I have a decent chance of cracking GATE 2026 for cse (at least <500 rank).

But I have heard many people say that it is not worth it. That it would be better to just get a job and upskill, or that pg is only worth it in american/other western unis and mtech in India isnt, even in top institute like iitb, iitm, iisc, etc. Also that pg students dont get prioritised like ug students are, and i wouldnt get the "iit experience" studying here for just 2 years as mtech.

Basically a lot of demoralization. What do you think about all this?

Having a mtech degree alone qualified you for a better salary. Rest is upto you anon, you would get two raises in the time it will take you to get a degree. People usually do PG alongside their job

Really? I have heard that the workload is very high in iit mtech, at least during the first year.

How do people manage that along with a job?

I'll say such things. I have a M.Tech. degree from a tier 2 college. I actually enjoyed being treated like a college student and not a school student (like in my undergraduate) and I also got exposed to the lectures of people who actually know their shit.

But did it help me get a fucking job?

No.

Would I have been better off if I had just stuck with B.Tech. and actually put an honest effort in searching for a better job, or maybe even got into IT industry and not get "specialized"?

Yes. Probably.

Do your research tbh.

For example, let's see what IITM has to say.

>% of chosen career path

Exactly what the fuck is chosen career path?

Can I choose to tank my career and give up on job search, and that'll be taken as a positive data?

They also have a M.Tech. career path chosen page.

Also, check out KGP from last year for M.Tech in these images.
