साइबर सुरक्षा में बी.एस. करने के लिए मुझे कौन से आईटी पाठ्यक्रम लेने चाहिए?

Ans: What were you doing during the three-year gap that you haven't mentioned? For a female ECE graduate with a three-year career gap aiming for a rapid, high-paying career transition, VIT Vellore’s M.Tech in VLSI Design is the more strategic choice over SRM KTR’s M.Tech in Data Science. VIT Vellore ranks #11 in NIRF Engineering (2024), is NAAC A++ accredited, and boasts a nearly 90% placement rate in VLSI, with top recruiters such as Intel, Qualcomm, Synopsys, and AMD regularly offering roles in design, verification, and semiconductor industries. The VLSI sector is currently experiencing robust demand in India and globally, especially for women engineers, with strong campus placement support and super dream offers. The program’s two-year duration and focused curriculum allow for a swift return to the workforce, and VIT’s placement cell is known for converting internships into full-time roles, which is especially advantageous for those re-entering after a gap. In contrast, SRM KTR’s M.Tech Data Science program, while industry-aligned and offering 60–70% placements with companies like TCS, IBM, and Wipro, has a more competitive and saturated job market, and placement rates for M.Tech Data Science remain lower than VLSI at VIT. Additionally, VIT’s VLSI program is well-recognized by semiconductor giants, and the average package and placement consistency are higher, making it a safer bet for immediate employment and career growth. As a backup, consider M.Tech VLSI at VIT Chennai (90% placements) or M.Tech Data Science at SRM Valliammai or SRM AP, but prioritize VIT Vellore’s VLSI for its superior placement ecosystem, employer recognition, and suitability for women returning to the workforce. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
