Rank predictor not working till tomorrow

So let’s talk about M.Tech placements in IIIT A.

Before you question my authenticity , I’m the current placement coordinator of M.Tech at IIIT Allahabad so you are reading the most accurate stats and opinions.

Disclaimer : Note that the following answers are purely personal.

Question : What’s the average CTC of a M.Tech IT Student(2020 Passing out batch) at IIIT Allahabad?

Ans : Average : 14Lakhs.
Highest : 34Lakhs.
Lowest : 6Lakhs.
Median CTC : 11.75Lakhs.
Placed / Unplaced : 67 / 13

Question : Does that mean every student is making 1.16Lakh/Month (14Lakhs / 12 = 1.16 Lakhs) ?

Ans : No, that’s far from the truth. There is a huge difference between CTC and Net Monthly Take Home. For example, if a famous company offers 29.5 Lakhs in CTC, it doesn’t translate to 2.45 Lakhs/Month. The take home is somewhere between 1.14 to 1.20 Lakh/Month.

Question : Wait, where did the rest of the money go?

Ans : That’s where the game is. This company which offered 29.5Lakhs might be giving 16 to 17 Lakhs as Base Package(Take home per year) and 1 to 2 lakhs of Joining Bonus + Relocation Bonus (Paid one time at starting) and rest everything is RSUs or ESOPs which will vest in anytime between 1–5 years.

Question : I have heard B.Tech’s placement is great and M.Tech’s placement is shit, How true is this?

Ans : No, If a company has allowed M.Tech then they do not differentiate based on degree. They want to hire good programmers and many times M.Tech students could not compete with their B.Tech peers. However, things have changed this year to a minor extent. In my batch(2020) we had a few quality programmers who performed on par with B.Tech students if not better.

Question : Hey Sumanth! That’s all fine but not all companies allow M.Tech students, or do they?

Ans : Yes, not all companies allow M.Tech students. However all top companies starting from the likes of Amazon, Flipkart, Walmart, Uber, etc. allow M.Tech students sometimes even with higher CTC than B.Tech students. Out of around 140 companies that visited for the 2020 batch, M.Tech students were allowed to sit in 70+ companies. If you still think that 70 opportunities are not enough for you to land a great job, I would say be positive and focus on the opportunities available at hand rather than worrying. Even If you are a decent programmer I have got no doubt that you will work wonders and surprise yourself with the CTC you would draw.

Question : Fine sir. I accept now that there are enough opportunities however, are B.Tech students too strong with their coding skills ? Sir, do we even stand a chance against them?

Ans : Competition is strong. There’s no denying that, but no one ever has all the advantages. Let’s figure out ways to get those lucrative offers!

There are a total of 300 questions. Once you solve all of these standard questions, you will walk into an interview confidently knowing that you will do well.

Question : But sir, I have heard the course structure is hectic. Will we get anytime to work on coding?

Ans : Yes, the course is a bit time consuming compared to other colleges (24hrs of classes per week plus assignments on top of them), but my batch did very well at placements despite all this. Instead of being pessimistic, let’s use time smartly and balance academics + coding.

Question : Sir, my score is xyz and my category is abc. Can I get a seat in IIITA?

Ans : Please check the cutoff on gatecse website or CCMT website.

That’s all for now. If you have any further doubts you can reach out to me on facebook. I would like to thank my friend Bavani for helping me edit this post! :)

Announcing the release of GATE Overflow Test Series for GATE CSE 2025 along with GO Classes Test Series.

You can see the complete details of the Test Series in the below link....!! If you have any doubts please drop a comment on this post..!!

Schedule of GATE Overflow Test Series: Copy-friendly link of the schedule

Schedule of GO Classes Test Series

Features of the Test Series

1. All questions formed and verified by GATE Overflow team
2. Emphasis on coverage of all question types in GATE 
3. Tests can be taken any time from the creation date
4. Detailed solutions will be provided for all the test questions with the option for asking doubts
5. Questions will be on GATE Overflow site and visible only to those who have taken tests
6. Any wrongly answered question will be automatically added to “Wrongly Attempted” Question list which you can view anytime for revision
7. Test Interface can be tried here (Tests by Mentors and Previous year papers are available for GATE, UGCNET etc. which can be taken freely by any user)
8. We'll have much better analytics for the exams compared to GATE 2024 but this will be live only by June 2024

Individual test series price: ₹ 1599 + 18% GST = ₹1887

$\color{red}{\text{Early Bird Offer:}}$ Subscribe the two test series together now for ₹ 2500 + 18% = ₹ 2950 GST until May 31. 

Combined (GATE Overflow + GO Classes) test series regular price: ₹ 2900 + 18% GST = ₹ 3422

(The test access will be removed by March 18, 2025).

You should login and if you do not have a GO account you can just register for free. 

Discounts

• GATE Overflow 2024 test series subscribers can get test access for ₹ $2200$ +18%GST (only ₹ 750 for GATE Overflow test series alone)
• GO Classes complete course registered students get a 10% discount for the GO classes test series. i.e., ₹ 1439 + 18% GST = ₹1698 for individual and ₹ 2755 + 18% GST = ₹3016 for the combined ignoring any other discounts. 

Just wanted to give some information on the GO Test series. Though about 200 people have registered for the tests, there have been less than 30 taken on average for tests. This shows that most of you are either postponing the tests or ignoring the subject tests.

1. Actually the questions in subject tests are made to ensure no topic or question type is left out
2. We have tried to include maximum twists in these questions so that it becomes easy in actual GATE
3. Dont get demotivated by the marks – even 30% is good enough as long as you are understanding the mistakes and on second attempt you can score 90% or more
4. Some people are scoring 80% or more in these tests and I hope them to make a top 30 rank in GATE.  
5. So if you are postponing the takes the distance between you and the toppers are just increasing

From now onwards the tests will be live on every Mondays. There have been very good debates and hoping for healthy discussions to continue. Questions won’t be getting easier at least until the full length mock tests – where we shall try to simulate the actual GATE.

Guys, there is no post regarding the gate 2021 set 1. So i thought of creating one.

So guys start commenting and share your experience regarding the gate 2021 set 1.

I am an ECE graduate gave GATE CSE 2021. This was my second attempt, in gate 2020 CSE i got 1645 rank and 52 marks.

My experience:I was in set 1 and felt paper was a little lengthy just because of the MSQ's .i saw set 2 analysis also, it was moderate and not that tough as some people are saying,  questions were doable but yes, 100% agree  that paper for set 2 was very very lengthy.But people are comparing it with 2006 paper and that's really wrong. Anyone who has practiced gate ques from 2006 knows that how tough 2006 gate paper questions were.

I personally feel set 2 was tougher overall than set 1 but not to the extent these online discussions are talking about.

how much are you guys expecting ???

 Lets hope for the best:)

EDIT: if someone want’s to see all the questions and their solutions then they can refer to the link provided by applied, i found the questions and the answers very accurate ,there are 64/65 ques from set 1 here.
