I wanted to answer it for me as I wished to be a part of Mtech – IITB last year, but hard luck!
I want to share the story of my close friend who is currently pursuing MTech from IITB. He is currently in final year and recently got placed in one of the biggest known company called NVIDIA.
A little background about him:
We both were batchmates in Graduation time. He was one of those backbenchers who generally came to college just for attendance. He was the topper of our batch from the bottom. No one could ever bet on him when it comes to technical discussions and programming i.e. people didn’t consider him as competition.
After graduation:
He decided to go for GATE because he didn’t get any placement in college. He dropped a year from Made Easy and did a thing that none of us could believe. He got AIR 172 in GATE 2017 and got direct admission in IITB. No quota, no reservation helped him in this
