There are two ways of admission to Madras Institute of Technology for an M.Tech degree, the first is through GATE and the second through TANCET. 

The admission to all the campuses of Anna University (MIT, CEG, ACT, and SAP) usually starts in the month of July. Applicants then start filling the applications having their valid GATE or TANCET scorecard, along with several other documents like photocopy, provisional certificates, mark sheets, etc.

• After the filling of forms, separate rank lists for GATE and TANCET are published. Then, students are called for combined counseling which takes place in the CEG campus.
• Usually, the GATE counseling takes place before the TANCET counseling. But, the number of seats available for TANCET is more than that for GATE.
• There are provisions for reserved seats in both GATE and TANCET. TANCET candidates are not given any stipend for their M.Tech program, but GATE seat students are given a certain stipend by the MHRD.
• Students missing the date of counseling are not allowed in the subsequent dates.

These are the two main modes of admission for M.Tech at Madras Institute of Technology. Other than these, there is a provision of admission through the NRI quota, where only 2 or 3 seats are reserved in every stream. NRI quota seats have a separate fee structure too.

I have a few friends from Asuthose College. Here are their insights regarding the Physics department. 

• Faculty- Ashutosh College has a fantastic faculty. Both in terms of qualifications and knowledge. But keep in mind that a good qualification does not guarantee that a person will be a good teacher. This is where Ashutosh College falls short.
• Campus life- If you’re searching for a campus life similar to that of Jadavpur University, Ashutosh College is not for you. Even if there is no college campus, but you can still experience a taste of campus life.
• Alumni- Despite being a middle-ranking college in Kolkata, Ashutosh College has consistently produced excellent students. Many of them have a JAM rank of 50 or higher. Many of them are enrolled in renowned Indian and international institutions.
• Labs- The labs are the worst aspect of the department. Instruments are outdated reason being lack of funds for state colleges. The facilities are not very good.
• Connectivity- Keep in mind that you will be doing the majority of your studying from home while at CU, so choose an institution that is close to your house and has metro access. Ashutosh college is located near Jatin Das Park metro.

Overall, Asutose College is a decent option for pursuing B.Sc in Physics, if you have no other options. 

You should opt for Loyola College for your overall development as a student. Chennai is a metropolitan city that opens various opportunities from a student’s point of view. 

If you want to prepare for any other domain apart from academics such as a bank, sports, civil services, business, or any higher studies preparation, you can easily do anything from Chennai. 

The faculty is also far better than the PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore and it is also better in terms of reputation. 

PSG is not bad as the location of Coimbatore is an advantage. It is an IT city. But in Loyola, you will get the proper experience and exposure, which will help you move forward in your career.

One of my cousins graduated from Pondicherry University and here are some things I got to know about it. 

• The Department of Physics at Pondicherry University is one of the leading Physics Departments among Indian Universities.
• It offers Integrated M.Sc. (5 yr.), M.Sc. (2 yr.), and Ph.D. in Physics. 
• The admission to these courses is the National level entrance test conducted by Pondicherry University. 
• You can get admission to Ph.D. if you crack the entrance even if you have not qualified JRF. But qualifying JRF will give you real research opportunities with no funding problems.
• The M.Sc. Physics courses are very useful for those who want to go for a future research career. 
• It consists of rigorous theoretical as well as experimental course work with a specialization (which can be chosen among Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Laser and Electronics) and a project work (only for those having high grades).

The course is bringing the best out of the students here. A good number of students qualify for national level exams like NET, GATE, JEST as well as getting very good job opportunities at domestic and multinational companies.

The best would be to go for a B.Tech from BITS Pilani and then an MBA degree from IIM/XLRI etc.

IPM at IIM Indore gives you an IGNOU graduate degree and then a diploma. Even though you will do the last two years together with the PGDM students selected via CAT, you won’t get the same status as them. It will take a couple of years to get acceptance. Additionally, the legality of the course is vaguely defined. 

Choosing one of these options also depends on your career orientation. If you want a job in the technical field then doing a B.Tech from BITS Pilani is better. Go for IPM from IIM Indore, only if you are certain you want to get into management job roles.
