The verdict
Good fit
If you want a research-heavy M.Tech with TAship exposure, industry projects, and a ₹3L fee tag in Chennai, this is a solid pick. Placements lean mass-recruiter heavy (75% placed, avg ₹5 LPA), so if you're chasing FAANG or top-tier product roles, you'll need to supplement campus drives with serious off-campus hustle.
