Hey everyone,
So I just got Written Test/Interview call letters from IIT Bombay for M.Tech in:
- EE1 (Communication Engineering)
- EE2 (Control & Computing)
- EE6 (Integrated Circuit & Systems)
All three are RA category (Research Assistantship — stipend based).
Here's my situation — I'm a **CSE graduate**. Not an EE guy at all. But I'm genuinely willing to put in the work, grind hard, and learn whatever it takes.
My questions:
How tough is it really for a CSE person in these EE specializations? Like honestly, not the sugar-coated version.
Which one among EE1, EE2, EE6 would suit a CSE background the most?
What do EE1/EE2/EE6 professors usually ask in interviews? Any experience?
RA means I get a stipend but also do research work for a professor — is it hard to manage alongside coursework?
Any CSE folks here who made this switch? How was your experience?
Interviews are May 19–21 so I have around 3 weeks to prepare. Any advice, resources, or brutal honesty is welcome. Thanks!
