Ans: First thing is that right from first year don't be over worried about placement. It's a disease of the new generation. The present generation and the parents think too much about placement right from day one. M.Tech won't help you for a better placement, on the contrary for having specialization your job field will be narrow. In foreign countries there is no M.Tech, it is MS and an MS from US needs 80 lakh to 1 crore rupees. If you get 15 lpa you should be very much happy with that.
