MTECH
OR PSU?
For
GATE
based PSU’S like IOC, NTPC, BARC, NALCO, MECON etc, you should know that the time you have completed
medicals and have your appointment, you would already have been admitted to MTECH.
So it doesn’t matter. You have to take FIRST MTECH and then PSU’s.
Only very high rankers will be called. So you would have to
forget about 30000 rupees and then withdraw from course and take PSU jobs. Many
of my friends have done that. A guy with 17 rank and with 120 rank has
withdrawn from structures in iit madras and iit Delhi respectively. Since it’s
after classes has started those seats will be vacant. Actually if you are very
fervent about higher studies and research then only you should refuse those
jobs. The main reason is that there will be little chance of you completing
m.tech and getting higher jobs than the PSU’s.
But here is the catch. After 10 years
generally all the PSU’s BTECHs will definitely take MTECHs or MBA. It’s because
after some years when you are given higher end projects, your b.tech knowledge
will be fading in that respect. Also after some time your position will be
stagnate like anything. They will also write the prestigious IES.
I know a 40 year BTECH mechanical engineer
from VSSC
(ISRO) who was taking MTECH even after 15 years of service. On asking he said
it was for his own satisfaction as after 15 years the projects he was dealing
was proving to be very tough. Same is with civil engineers working in Dubai.
IIT MTECHs are very much valued there.
A 30 year old IOC guy is pursuing
structures in state college. It is mainly because of his contacts and
experience, now he can get better job. His advice was to pursue m.tech after
completion of b.tech itself as he is facing very much difficulty due to change
in IS codes used.
For job sake MTECH is the maximum.
Unless you stumble upon a really innovating and economically utilizable
project, pursuing PhD with MTECH is not worth other than teaching and research.
If however you get into teaching field with m.tech there is always provision
for part time PhDs.
Also I have seen may people who take
geotech in IIT get into L&T, leave it, and then do mba, then get in a bank
of foreign countries. For those fickle minded guys it’s better to take psu.
These are the guys who fall in iit’s brand name and then mess like anything.
In nut shell, if spoilt between choice of m.tech and PSU,
take PSU and after some year you can do m.tech as m.tech have no age bar unlike
PSU.

DeleteSIR CAN U TELL ME WHICH IS BENEFICIAL FOR GETTING HIGHER ORDER POST IN PSU_M.TECH OR MBA,i m mechanical engg graduate
ReplyDeletedepends on which side you want to go.if you are talking about type of job you get,its similar to IAS for mba and IES for mtech,but to lower level.both are top post but have different duties.many people usually go for mba cause then they will be on top of food chain.people go to mtech to become experts in the field they like.mba is like vertical growth and mtech is like horizontal growth.its upon you to chose which path you have to follow.
Deletesir my id is rjtraj123@gmail.com.so can .u discussed the advantage of doing m.tech or mba.which is beneficial for acquiring higher post in psu
ReplyDeletesir i agree with u,bt i have seen that officer on higher post in psu company(maharatna too)have mostly mba degree from reputed indian university rather than m.tech degree.highly experienced officer(25 year+ and they are in bod of company or they have served as a director of a dept)have mba from reputed iim's,fms,nitie,etc.only fewer of them(only in r&d)have m.tech degree.whats the reason behind it.
ReplyDelete?
your ans is in questions itself.mtech degree makes you an expert(or thats what they say) in particular field.its horizontal growth.getting in top position is not only hard work,but also smart work.generally people with mtech are not ambitious enough to get to top.they don't value top positions as those with mba and hence can't compete with them.its always your desire and not the degree that matters.
Deleteok thanks sir,can u tell me whats the rule,procedures,criteriah and requirement for obtaining study leave in any of the psu company?do psu company favours the employees enrichment in techonology or do they prefer an employee to develop leadership potential by issueing such leaves?how do they treat such demand regarding study leave?explain me in detail.
ReplyDeletethey give study leave based on different criteria.for eg-BARC have specific roles.lets say they want geotech mtech.he might be a fresher from college and have good gate rank.barc will sponser his studies in any iits or iit they say.they might give some restriction on which guide to choose or if you can go to foriegn university through DAAD scholarship etc.here they need specific job people to fill in their needs.there might be other companies which don't give mtech pursuing oppurtunities to freshers.all psus encourage technology enchancement or leadership potential.they come up with different programs for it.in general a person can apply for study leave if he is has completed 5 years and after completion of study he has to work for some time like 3 years.this vary and i am just telling you an outline.please look for more details in authorised document of psus.
Deleteok sir thanks
ReplyDeletesir even iit's(except iitb) have not so much good placemnt in m.tech.b.tech student are offered on an average 2 to 3 plcment offer, while m.tech student(of core branches too) have to work in software and it based company along with cse graduates.u have also said that majority of gate qualifying candidates are average hardworking student and belongs to average colleges mostly.what about that?why such major distraction exist?
ReplyDeleteSir, if I want to do mtech from iit nd then I want join psu then wats d procedure? Coz I heard gate rank is compulsory for psu then again I hav to qualify gate aftet mtech?
ReplyDeleteunlike mtech gate rank is applicable only one year for most of psu's.for mtech gate rank applicable for two years.so you have to again write gate after mtech.
DeleteDear Shiju,
ReplyDeleteMy friend has to choose between a Kerala based PSU for a meager CTC and IIT BHuvaneswar for Mtech.
Considering the current placement scenario in new IITs, what would be the right option.
Please share your view.
Sir,
ReplyDeleteI have already submitted my original gate scorecard in iit guwahati..now if i get appointed in a psu then will iit g return my original gate scorecard?
INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT OF WORK FROM HOME
ReplyDeleteWork from home theory is fast gaining popularity because of the freedom and flexibility that comes with it. Since one is not bound by fixed working hours, they can schedule their work at the time when they feel most productive and convenient to them. Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.
Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

Baby-sitting
This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.
Nursery
For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money. If given proper time and efforts nursery business can flourish very well and you will earn handsomely. But just as all jobs establishing it will be a bit difficult but the end results are outstanding.

Diet food
Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.
Thus think over this concept and go ahead.
sir it is seen that even iits have not so much good placement in m.tech.b.tech student are offered on an average 2 to 3 plcment offer, while m.tech student(of core branches too) have to work in software and it based company along with cse graduates.u have also said that majority of gate qualifying candidates are average hardworking student and belongs to average colleges mostly.what about that?why such major distraction exist?
ReplyDeletelet me clear things a bit.very less student of total sample size of btech get 2 or three placements.depends on interest of students.core companies can never give as much money as software or banking.your interest level changes with the exposure of people you interact.some btech prefer ias,some ies,some go for mtech in same iit.similarly some opt for banking or software.for case of mtech,during two years of study,they get same exposure as btech or dual.they can do internship,go abroad for studies etc.speaking about my own branch i never felt duals who are studying with me are getting more opportunities.many companies come which is open for all.if you are able to crack their test,then you also get same opportunities as btech.this is true for established companies.start ups and other non core companies need freshers. mostly because they need to give training to students and condition them for work they have never faced like finance or software. mtech sometimes don't have that flexiblity and that is why they don't go and some companies don't ask for them.many companies have open profile for mtech,dual and btech. however very less mtech apply for them.so the reason is not because of
Deletelack of opportunities but the interest level.
The maximum salary in iits for mtechs is around 8 lpa every year in mech department where as it is around 9 lpa in ongc or iocl for a btech passout who entered through gate. Then what is the point of pursuing mtech in iit ?
