Why did you join IIT Bombay instead of IISc for an MTech (CSE)?
If you're trying to choose between IISc and IIT Bombay for an MTech CSE, here are some features of each that you may find helpful:
IISc:
- Focuses solely on Masters and PhD programs, providing full attention to these students as compared to IITs where BTechs dominate.
- Is a premier institute for learning Machine Learning, AI, and related subjects like NLP, Speech Processing, Computer Vision, Information Retrieval, Game Theory, and Database Systems from basics which will take you to places.
- Provides exposure to Bangalore IT industry through professor collaboration (also available in IITs).
- Boasts of a big and green campus with single occupancy hostel and students who are more focused on studies as compared to IIT students who are involved in many other activities.
- Hostel, Mess, and Departments are not too far from each other, unlike IIT Bombay where a bus runs from the hostel to the department every 15 minutes.
IIT Bombay:
- Boasts of a diverse student population ranging from Bachelor to PhD, which provides extra enthusiasm.
- Provides a tough competition from bachelor students who will perform more by putting less effort due to their capabilities.
- Teachers at IIT Bombay are known for Machine Learning and related subjects, but from the courses offered, IISc starts with the basics first like probability, optimization, and linear algebra. After studying ML from IISc, the opinion of the author is that IISc has a little extra advantage in that.
- Features varied flora and fauna too at IIT Bombay with a lake, a small hill with national forest on the other side.
- Hosts many events, one of them being Mood Indigo.
- Mumbai is a more enjoyable city compared to Bangalore. Bangalore weather is good throughout the year compared to Mumbai, which is humid most of the time.
- Being in IIT opens the door to any kind of company for placement which BTech students also sit for. So if there's competition, there's also a reward for that.
Ultimately, both IISc and IIT Bombay are top institutes in the country, and the decision on which one is better for you depends on your personal preferences and requirements.
