3:46 How Mtech is different from Btech or GATE preparation( research-oriented, development of new way of thinking) 6:25 A true master ( an ability to learn the things he doesn't know, identity, diagnose and address his shortcomings) 7:11 Participation in Seminars (help you in development of soft skill, presentation skill) 8:22 Visit Library ( great place for Exploration & Exposition of your mind) 9:30 Interaction with Undergraduates ( mix freely, many things to learn from them) 11:40 Managing Inferiority complex ( GATE is not an easy Exam) 13:52 Level Up (programming skills, speaking skills) 15:00 Focus on your work not in placement (Karma Kiye ja Placement ki chinta mat kar ;) )

I am not an IITian, nor a mechanical engineer, but this type of videos really help us get to know about IITs from the viewpoint of a professor. Really great content, sir!

I hope the MTech students learn to communicate like you, professor. I hope they take up extra responsibilities, excel in their careers and contribute back to the society, just the way you are doing.

This is genuinely a great video for the mtech level students and surely gives a lot of motivation. Sir, a request from my side, a video about "developing a research orientation mentality for higher studies and academic research."

Sir You are doing a great duty by inspiring the young minds to tackle their educational & career issues at same time young must realise that education is training their body & mind with relevant skills for good work required by the society at same time catering to your life & day today aspirations yet no training is an end in itself , changing societies & industries will always throw new challenges & the present rigourous training will work as a stepping stone to learn new ones as per future requirements Thankyou so much Sir regards👍

i was just hovering over youtube and found your video. As the playtime of the video increased, the respect for you also increased in our heart. I am really thankful to you for your advice, motivation, and guidance. Thankyou sir

Highly recommended video for a MTech students. Thank you sir it is really helpful.

This is not just great information, this is actually learnings,experiences and outstanding efforts made by you sir so as we can get some of the great insights into the wonderful curriculum.Thank you very much sir for sharing this info, and keep making videos like this.❤️❤️

Thank you sir for sharing the point of view of a Professor and also the things to do as a M.Tech student.

Thank you a lot SirJi for having such a boosting session for people who qualified gate 💯💯💯

This is very heart touching video. I really like the message for m tech students. Thank you sir

Im actually doing a masters outside India, and your insights are indeed valuable. Thank you, for making these videos.

Thank you a lot Sir .! These videos and the efforts from you help us a lot.

I agree completely with all the valuable points you've discussed in this video. I really wish someone told me these words even a week back when I started to feel the heat and was getting slowly down with confidence in some subjects, while pursuing the 1st sem of M.E at JU which I started with the wish to explore all the answers to my queries, thoughts that I earlier had in my undergrads. I feel much positive now, that what I felt over the last couple of weeks isn't uncommon. I guess and really hope this covid stuff goes away and I can dive deep into the tides of Master's, keeping aside the online domain all the time. Thank you Sir. Thanks to KZfaq Algorithm also, otherwise this wonderful video wouldn't have came up on my feed.

Sir only few has this ability to accept the new and you have that......😍 I can't experess that in words but you are great....

Thank you so much sir. It was needed. 🙏

Thankyou sir, for your precious advice. I feel more motivated.😎

thank you so much indeed. I resonated with your words.

Thank you sir for emphasising on this topic it’s very much appreciated 🙏🏽.

This video changed my mind....thank you so much, sir

👍 Kindly make a similar video with Advise for PhD students (or "Research Scholars" as they are called in India!)... Covering the concerns of both prospective and currently enrolled PhD students... Please address diplomatically but head-on the "uncomfortable" issues which research scholars often face with their PhD Guide/ Advisor.... How can research scholars cope/ deal with issues of incompatibility with their PhD Guide/ Advisor in terms of beliefs and attitudes towards research and publishing/ working styles/ etc... Just as a PhD is of longer duration than an MTech, it will be good if the video could be proportionately longer... TIA and looking forward.

12:20 often people downplay gate achievement saying that the real iitian is the one who studies UG here. This coming from sir himself clear this misconception. Thank you very much!🙏

Exactly sir .. 1st Time I am watching your video and it's amazing .... specially your lectures ..

Onek dhonyobad ❤️🙏 sir pronam neben

You are so humble & down to earth professor who though belongs to one of the most strict & reputed IIT, interacts with below students like most of us.....🙏❤️. Here our so called professors doesn't guide us properly.😭....IIT students are really so lucky......

I am leaving this comment ...just to come again and listen again as the words are quite relatable and motivating✌️ ..thank you

Thank you so much Sir. This youtube channel is awesome. Please keep making these videos. 😇

Thanks for your valuable advices.. 🙏

Hearing you on such issues is always a pleasure. Please make a video on the integrated masters programmes (BTech +MTech) and how the students of these programmes should approach their studies and preparation for the future.

It's really great to see you address such crucial and sensitive issues, sir. Highly appreciate it!! Sir, please make a dedicated video for MS(research) students as well. There's little to no knowledge of what goes on in the MS courses in IITs and what's expected of them and what opportunities lays for them in the future. How's MS different from MTech, the pros and cons. The reason I'm requesting this information is that most of the students opting for these courses have got "low gate scores" which is why they tend to undermine the potential of MS by research courses. Please help us realize its true potential.

you words are very encouraging, thank you.

Thank you sir for making such informative video...

Thank you so much sir for this video, I've completed my B.Tech in a private engineering college and currently doing M.Tech (6-semester, Non-GATE) at Jadavpur University. Will be following your advice while doing my coursework in the next semester as I was searching ideas on what to do in the M.Tech thesis.

Dear Sir , I joined Masters program at IIT Madras this year in July 2021. I am from B-Tech in EEE and that too from a private university. I can absolutely relate to your discussion regarding interaction with UGs. Initially I was very shy and kind of awkward especially when I came to know that I will be competing with the BTech & Dual Degree students in my courses. But as I started interacting with them, things got little better and I got to learn many things frm them .

Thank you very much sir, for your kind advice .Presently I am doing PhD . You have touched all the critical points.

Thank you sir for this great videos

Nice words.....Thanks Professor...

I myself being a m.tech student can correlate to you views. Your advices are very practical ❤️

IITs and NITs are primarily UG engineering colleges. I have graduated from IISc, and thankfully, there is absolutely no issue with UG/PG interaction dynamics. For IISc, research is supreme, among the student fraternity, those pursuing PhDs are the "kings" - if I may use that term.

thank you sir very valuable experience

Much needed guidance I am also IITM btcm MTech student Thank you sir ❤️🙏

Thank you sir for the video

Thank you, Sir, I am an IIT Madras MS student in Aerospace propulsion and chose this field with pure interest. But I was through this dilemma of how to study these MTech/MS courses since it was my first semester. Later I started to worry less about grades and reminded myself that I am here because I like these subjects and not to study for grades only, my guide also mentored me and helped me. I am sure your tips are going to help me

Thanks for the advice Sir

Thank you for your guidance. Can you please make a video on what is the research output expected from a Mtech student and how can we develop that research endeavor? Since in Btech, I never thought from a research perspective but only for placements.

thank you so much

I am glad that I watched this before takinadmission in M.Tech. at an IIT. Thank you Sir for your guidance, your videos are very insightful. I just hope I make the most of the next 2 years that I will have in an IIT, most probably at kharagpur only.

I've joined one of the new IIT, Thank you so much sir for taking out your precious time and making such a video..I will surely keep everything in mind for comming sems.

Sir your videos are really good, especially the video on project presentation.

Thank you sir!

VERY GOOD ADVICE.....MOST OF THE THINGS I CAN CORRELATE. (I have joined IIT BBS in 2023 VLSI)

Sir , I would like to request you to make a video on the research scenario in India. How does the premier institutions in India such as the TIFR, IISc, IITs etc stand with respect to the several US universities in respect of the research environment, PhD experience,etc. Many faculty members in IITs (what I have seen so far) have done their PhD or Post Doc in foreign universities mostly in the US. Is it a rarity these days people who are educated purely in India ending up to become a faculty member in premier institutions in India (such as IISc, IITs and TIFR)? You are definitely having a better idea and first hand experience about these aspects. It would be great if you can give us a clear idea about the current scenario. Also take us through your educational experience in the UK. Thank You

Sir, big respect to you. My comment is long. Please be patient with me. _My background_ : I did my BTech graduation in mechanical engg from a govt college then came below 1500 rank in GATE Mechanical and got admission in IIT (one of the top 7 IITs of course ). Yes it is true I attempted GATE with focus on PSU jobs (middle class dilemma) but higher studies was also on the radar. I finally got a job in a non-core sector with a decent package but the motivation for higher studies died with the IIT experience I had. _My IIT experience_ : The moment I got into the course work the image of IIT which I had, all shattered. I discovered all the course work in IIT is nothing fancier than what we did in our college (to be precise , in a tier 2 college ). The main burning came in the final year. In the thesis work, I noticed most of the students in MTech are involved in a thesis work which has already been done by some other PhD students or their previous MTech students. There was no originality in thinking. Most of the work is run of the mill type rustic research papers with no industrial application or with economic viability. It seems the thesis work is being done by the students-professors because it has to be completed. There was no motivation to work on original thinking in the IIT. To my despair, I also found most of the professors are not helping the students at all. Students learn from the PhD seniors or by themselves. Professors usually take follow-up meetings every couple of weeks or one every month. In many cases students approach prof for help or to learn but they get nothing. I personally had experience of no help from prof (guide and co guide), many of my friends got no help as well. Actually if they get any help they get this from their lab seniors (PhD students who came from other colleges/NITs/new IITs). Many of my friends in my MTech batch will never turn towards PhD as we witnessed how pathetic the PhD situation is there in the top IITs itself. I have friends in PhD, MTech in other top IITs too. The culture is more or less the same. MTech/MS/PhD is like a self help type of 2/3/5 year curriculum. I believe there is no value addition to me (or any one passing from IITs) in technical knowledge because of studying at IIT. Only the tag of IIT helped me to get a job. At present there is lots of content education (even for the masters level) available on the internet which makes IITs redundant. _Solution_ : I believe you are active in the youtube space to assess the system better from the perspective of the student community and want to change it the best way possible. I'd like to suggest that you write a petition to the concerned ministry to pass a bill (or something like that) so that more and more private collaborations are done in thesis and PhD projects. Only a result oriented, for profit R&D activity will make the system excel. Many of my friends/seniors had way low GATE rank, to be qualified into an IIT. But they pursued higher studies abroad. They are in a better position in core MNCs now, where masters from top IIT will hardly get the chance. Here in India we are creating more and more competition (JEE/GATE etc etc) but the final product is nearly garbage !

Professor, please share your thoughts on doing MS ( Mechatronics) in Germany (TUHH) after UG( Mechanical) Studies from Tier 3 Institute (Finolex Academy of Management Technology)

You look like a scientist and surely not ordinary

Sir, thank you so much for your esteemed advice. I graduated from Jadavpur University CE in 2021. For this 1 year, I have been working as a RA under an eminent professor in IIT-BHU. I wish to do a PhD from the top 50s. Would you recommend me going after GATE and joining an IIT and complete my masters, or should I spend a couple of years over here and do some quality work and then directly apply for a PhD ? Thank you.

Please make a video on "pointers for undergraduate research" not only for mechanical engineering but also other branches.

Sir,jee advance 3rd attempt ke liye kuch news bataye 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I faced a lot of difficulties in online learning during last session coz in our area there is no proper network connection available.

Great Sir Thanks

Sir can you plz make a video on how to apply to research internships in IITs for Btech students . Your videos are helping a lot. Thanks.

Thank you sir . Pls do make video about research work 😅. Any guidence would help.

Great👍

I am preparing for JEE ADVANCED but I like to watch sir 's video

Sir I (Aero student) would humbly request your inputs on placement scenario of Master students from institutes like BIT where core companies don't even visit and we can't really qualify IT companies assessment tests for their recruitment coz they give emphasis to coding. What shall we do?

i can't thank you enough...u solved problems i didn't know I had. if i ever get to mtech iitkgp i will meet you and thank you personally. currently im a 3rd year ug.

Hello Sir. It is really encouraging and if I may say assuring to see people like you creating contents. I do not come from STEM background. I have been a student of humanities and have worked in consumer research. Yet I listen to your videos. It is an absolute pleasure to get perspectives from you. Thank you.

Thank u sir

Sir please can You make another video regarding the Do's and Don't during the Mtech course and Advice for 1st year students in Mtech as you previously make on BTech ... Please sir please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

First of all I want to thank you for making such great videos related to academics. Sir I will request you to make a video on how to prepare for GATE. Specially with such a high demand in IT industries students are losing interest in core subjects. Moreover students who are wanting to pursue a career in the core industry and trying to focus on GATE, are getting deviated often by the lucrative offers of IT industry and surroundings. So how to keep oneself motivated in such case to carry on the studies of GATE?

Sir, can you make a similar video for MSc students. Especially Physics.

Thanks sir

Glad to hear your voice again sir 🙂

The main thing he wish to say is stay happy and open and not sad and troubled. Be happy.

Sir , please suggest how to develop learning skills, what should be the best way to learn something.

Sir please make a video about communication.

Thank you Sir, I was having second thoughts if GATE is right for me. Your Video has given me a lot of insights to make a correct decision.

sir I have a question can a student acquire same level of knowledge from the sources on nptel or is there any other ways to do so

great sir

Good videos prof jc...I am RS @IITR

Sir, I hope after this, your video about advising phD students would come...😀 I am second year PhD student civil dept at IITKGP

Sir make another video on 2nd year project as well. Im interested in PhD, so PhD video is also requested. Thank you 🙏

What is your take on direct PhD, that is PhD directly after BTech. Is it advisable?

​ hey how did you manage dissertation and project of third semester ? Also is Dissertation same for third and fourth year as i can see dissertation and dissertation final in third and fourth year respectively .

Sir this was an excellent video for those pursuing their masters Could u please make a video on opportunities after Mtech like Research or doing PhD abroad or the placement scenario for mtech students at iit's It would also be helpful if u could explain if doing master's abroad or mtech is a better choice as lot of students get confused over which to pursue

Sir I am love both computer and also physics. If I take cs btech, I'll miss phy part and if I take any other physics major, I'll be deprived of job scenario even after learning all cs Myself. I don't know what to do in my career can you please help :( I heard that doing bsc msc Is waste as it doesn't teach you any real life skill. Why there is no such opportunity to choose subjects of our major according to our choice? Or is there any opportunity to persue both??

Nice sir ... I'm at ug final yr soon i will there in IIT as a pG 🥰✌️

love u sir ji

sir which is better iiser tvm or bhu for bsc hons.physics considering the fact that research career(professorship) is expected ahead

Thanks sir for your precious advice I will remember every word of it during my master's Well i will be joining iit kgp this year in mtech cse hope to meet u and gain more advices on how to make my stay at iit more fruitful

First sir ❤️❤️❤️

You are best

Sir, I am a 2nd year EE undergraduate student at IIEST, Shibpur. I wanted to opt for higher studies and in academia, but belonging from a middle class village family,I have some issues. Also, I am worried about how far I will be able to go , and If I get stuck somewhere in future, then what will happen! Also Wants to know about the undergraduate level Summer research Internships at IITs, IISc ,means how much are these important, what are the pre-requisites and how should we approach for applying?

Sir can you share us about the placement senario of mtech manufacturing science and engineering, thermal branche at iit kgp

Your channel is close to 1M views, Congrats in advance 🥳

Sir, I m going to nit Durgapur cs ( as 3rd dropped) and leave my previous government college. Is it ok?. 😞

Hello sir ... I did BTech from very local private college and due to guilt of below average knowledge I studied for gate after college . Now I have mechanical rank to join top IITs but iam trying to get best option and preparing gate still ... I always put knowledge in first place then job and I know it's the right attitude IITs looking for but what else qualities I need to do excellent performance in mtech ? Should I learn anything beforehand joining in core mechanical field like softwares speaking skills etc ... What will be most difficult challenges I will be facing there ?

Sir how is Rajiv Gandhi Institute of petroleum technology? Can it be comparable to the new IITs? Plz respond sir

Respected Sir, This year I have joined BS-MS program of IISER Kolkata due to my interest in astronomy and somewhere in the area of genetics. Please can you tell whether IISER Kolkata is good institute for that. I have regret of not able to join IMSc at IITs.Also I had a option of IMSc at NIT Rourkela.

Hello sir can u please share your opinion on postpone GATE 2022 campaign it help everyone what IIT kgp is thinking about increasing covid cases and conducting GATE 2022

Sir deliberately chose my home state NIT for M.TECH and not any IIT which I could have solely because I aspire someday I would get the opportunity to work in the state engineering department in my own state for which I am preparing. Sir anything about me? And I am really thankful sir to you for this amazing interaction about misconceptions with us .
