Hi

It depends on your goal.

For the computer science department, (it may change for other departments not sure) MTech program is a fixed two years course.where you have to do 10 courses and a major final year project. The goal is to get you familiar with the field. You have to take 2 courses each from Intelligent track, Theory track and System track. Rest 4 can be done as per interest. Most of the people who come for this program focuses on getting a good placement which happens in the 3rd semester. There is not interview for this. Admissions are direct based on the GATE rank.

On the other hand, MTech by research is not a fixed 2 year program, you can finish this in 2 year, average is 3 years and sometimes it can go 4 year also. You only have to do 4 courses. The main focus here is the research and not the placement. Most of the people opting for this is planning to do a PhD in the future. Having said that, nothing is stopping you to do PhD even in the Mtech program. To fnish MTech research, you are expected to publish a paper in a good conference. However, that is not very strict and depends on your relationship with your guide. There will be an interview for admission into MTech research.

Personally I feel like MTech research gives you a better understanding of a topic than just the Mtech program. However you are planning to join industry after you master then probably Mtech is the best option for you.

Hope this helps. Let me know if there any questions.
