Placement prospects for M.Tech (Research) in CSA

[soumy...@gmail.com]

I am confused about choosing between regular M.Tech and M.Tech Research (in CSA) programs at IISc. I want to know about the placement prospects for the M.Tech research program. Is it treated by top companies as equal to regular M.Tech (CSA) program?. In M.Tech Research a student covers a narrow field with only around 4 courses but concentrates more on research work in that area. Whereas in the regular M.Tech CSA program a student studies more number of subjects in all the semesters. Although giving more focus may be good in a way, I want to know what has been the placement experience of students who have done M.Tech Research program in CSA, in the last 2 or 3 years. If you could give factual information of placements, that would be very useful to me in taking a decision.

Thanks,
