Got AIR 105 in VITMEE, planning to take M.Tech CSE (AI/ML) at VIT despite already earning 11 LPA. Good decision?
I’m currently working as a software engineer and earning around 11 LPA CTC as a fresher. Recently, I got AIR 105 in VITMEE and I’m planning to choose M.Tech CSE (AI/ML) at Vellore Institute of Technology.
The main reason is that I genuinely don’t enjoy the work I’m doing right now. Most of the work feels repetitive, there’s very little technical learning, and I don’t see much long-term growth in my current role/team.
I know many people say doing M.Tech from VIT may not be worth it if you already have a decent salary already, so I’m trying to evaluate this practically.
I’m not expecting the degree alone to magically give me a huge package. I’m planning to seriously use those 2 years for projects, internships, good cgpa, etc
Would you consider this a reasonable move or a risky downgrade from an 11 LPA start?
