What is it like to attend IIT for M. Tech. after clearing GATE exam?

Please see which may answer parts of this question. There should be a difference between attending the BTech and MTech programs at IITs. The focus of undergraduate and graduate education is different and you lose out on a lot if you miss this point (many people do!). As for the relationship between BTechs and MTechs, there are no clear answers here. Both programs have nice people and jerks and you connect with each person differently, not based on what program they attend but based on what common interests, courses, or projects you have. Via

I'll answer anonymously since most answers seem to portray an image of great bonhomie. My sister is in IIT-D, and she doesn't quite paint a rosy picture of JEE admits respecting GATE admits. GATE admits are derisively called 'matkas' and 'matkis' and are generally, perhaps justly, considered to be dumber than the average JEE admit. Whether this kind of thinking is a minority or majority opinion, I cannot say, but its existence cannot be denied.

I was asked to answer this question . But being a B.Tech student, I won't be able to answer the questions asked accurately . But i can answer the part of "...kind of patch-up (connecting) between..." as... During my first year I was assigned a first year hostel in which there were also new M.Tech students. I had interacted with a few M.Tech students who were there in my wing. But actually both the undergrad and graduate students tend to have their own social circles and therefore, less patch-up (connecting) occurs spontaneously.  Also after first year our hostels change. B.Tech student are generally allotted one of the senior hostels which chiefly accommodate undergraduate students and graduate students are generally allotted the M.Tech/ PhD Hostels. After that the most hearty interaction between us occurs, I suppose, in sports (there are interiit sports practice, inter/ intrahall sports). We also interact with a few graduate students as teaching assistants but the relationship there is more of a teacher-student kind.  I recommend the question as there are many IIT graduate students have shared their experiences.

I was undergrad at IIT Roorkee and I witnesses the kinda 'bond' M.Techs and B.Techs share. No doubts that any M.Tech guy can feel the high headedness of undergrads and which, to my opinion comes after conquering the Everest, JEE. It might sound like I'm condoning this kinda attitude but it's not. Humbleness and humility should be intact no matter what you have achieved. From academic POV, I guess IITs don't quite seal the deal. A few branches in the few IITs possess an infrastructure meeting the current International Standards. Its extremely rare that any undergrad from IIT does his masters from IIT. Most of them opt for reputed varsities in States.
