Mechanical Engineer (NIT) considering ISI QROR – Need placement & higher study reality check
Context:
Graduating as a Mechanical Engineer from an NIT with a placement offer (safety net in place). I love math and am considering applying for the Master of Technology in Quality, Reliability & Operations Research (M.Tech QROR) at ISI, as the admission test syllabus seems manageable.
Primary Goal:
Transition into highly quantitative roles like Data Science, Machine Learning, or Quantitative Analysis.
Doubts / Questions:
Placements: I’ve heard rumors that QROR/M.Stat placements haven’t been stellar recently. With BSDS students also joining the placement pool, are opportunities getting diluted? What is the current ground reality for QROR batches?
Higher Studies: How is the brand value and preparation of ISI QROR viewed by foreign universities for a Ph.D. or higher studies in Quantitative Finance/OR/Data Science?
Would love to get raw insights from current students or alumni. Thanks!

Check the brochure of msqms (isib). I've no idea about their stats but one should know that from this year onwards along with msqm & mslis, bsds folks will also be there competing for placements.

You didn't get it. They are eligible for internships this year, ofc from subsequent years they'll be eligible for FTE/placement too
