Is it possible to prepare for the IES exam while pursuing an M.Tech at IIEST Shibpur?

Question

Vineet Roy · Accepted Answer

Well, juggling IES prep with an M.Tech at IIEST Shibpur really boils down to how well you manage your time and what your project guide expects from you, especially in your second year.

Think of M.Tech as a mix of bachelor's and Ph.D. studies. Your first year will be a deeper dive into what you studied during your B.Tech.
You'll likely have classes for about 3-4 hours daily, with breaks you can use for your own study.
The library is a goldmine. Make the most of the resources available.
Choose your project and guide wisely in the second year. Some guides are very hands-on, while others give you more room to learn independently.
Set clear priorities. Try to work with professors who won't demand more than a couple of hours for project work.

IIEST is research-focused, so the M.Tech program can be demanding, especially if your guide wants you to publish a paper, which isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Pick an M.Tech specialization that won't overload you.
Since you need to submit a thesis, find a guide who aligns with your goals.
Start your IES prep early to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

If you stick to these points, you can manage both your M.Tech and IES prep. Otherwise, it might be tough to handle both at once.

IIEST Shibpur offers a great environment for competitive exam prep. If you're dedicated and motivated, these two years could be perfect for your studies.

Its a Question about your future!
