Arjun commented May 11, 2017 Like reply Follow Share Sorry. But I'm not able to interpret that news like that. My interpretation is that they are going to start a new 1 year M.Tech. program for working professionals -- Executive M.Tech. which is mostly irrelevant for GATE people. Those who have a good job now, can make use of it. Newplayerr commented May 12, 2017 Like reply Follow Share True, there are obvious apprehensions. M tech is not like an MBA. There's research orientation. Let's see how they pull it off. Doesn't look like a good idea. aik138463 commented May 12, 2017 Like reply Follow Share I don't think executive Mtech (part-time) can be compared with full-time MTECH CS@ IITs as placement prospects will be different for full time IIT Mtech which are compareable to Btech CS at IITs Xylene commented May 13, 2017 Like reply Follow Share I don't think placement's will be affected. Even in executive MBA at IIM's, the placement's are same as normal pgdm program but you need a valid CAT score. So I guess even here you would need a valid GATE score along with working experience.
