Dear Mr. Sandeep,

As you have 5 year experience in software field , there is no need to do M.tech from IIT.

and mostly this is not a good time to go for M.Tech , with the economic turmoil , its hard to get a better job profile than the one which you are already enjoying in.

This year wat i have seen in placements for M.Techs in IITs is,

1) people have gone for companies like samsung software,oracle,ICFAI institute.....

which i feel does not carry more weight than what you are in at now.

I would suggest to do MBA from ny IIMS or go for Ph.Ds abroad

regards,

Naga
