In computer science field or bioinfo? Need to go off-campus or reliable on-campus placements available?

Hi all,

I have been selected for the above mentioned self sponsored interview and would appreciate.

Hi all,

Currently a 4th year btech biotech student.

I have gotten an AIR of 521 in GATE BT 2026.

My main point is, I am interested in Bioinformatics [Specifically the program in MTech CB at triple IIIT Delhi- i've been selected for the interview]. However, I have also applied to many IITs, and none of them have a course related to it. [Slim chances of getting MTech SCB in IITR]

My Father is adamant on making me pursue an MTech from IITs even if i am not interested in the subject matters, and even if the IIT is lowly ranked. I understand his position but I still wish to go to IIIT because the course is interesting. However, following concerns:

1. Will I be doing the right thing by giving up IITs? The most probable offers I'll get will be from Jodhpur, Ropar, BHU, where the syllabus isnt attractive to me. [Have to give the test for Hyd Self-sponsored track, and if qualified then i will select Hyd as it is a good place and ive visited it and interacted with the faculty earlier].
2. What if instead of lower ranked IITs such as Jodhpur, I take NIT Warangal or NIT Surathkal?
3. From many personal accounts, i have been told that IIIT-D MTech CB is very rigorous, and I myself am doubtful whether I'll be able to maintain a good CGPA even if i'll be studying my fav subjects. However, no course at any institute is going to be easy, granted.
4. Doubtful about whether i should pursue research or go for placements. In the case of placements, they are very less everywhere and require the grind. But I am not sure whether i have the research aptitude and patience required for a PhD. I am not sure about the after-MTech job prospects either.

Apologies for the confusing post, but any leads on any of the points will be greatly appreciated.

Tia

My gate score in BT this year is 554, this image is from last year. This means i will get the seat in round 1 itself, right?

Hi all
My gate score is 554 in BT 2026.

I applied to IIT Jodhpur MTech BSBE programme,

because last year, at about round 7, they were offering the course to gate scorers near 554, so i thought i had a chance.

However, in the shortlisting released on their website, they have selected 70 candidates, and I am not on the list.

Does this mean,

1. the cutoffs were stricter this time?

2. will they increase the number of shortlisted candidates or is this the final list?

3. no hope there?
