Course duration: If you are pursuing your M.tech in this category, it will take 2 years to
complete.
Monthly stipend: ₹12400 fixed for the whole period of your M.Tech.
TA Work: You will be assisting faculty of that particular subject in attendance and correction
of answer sheets and some more works related to that course only for a semester. The number
of hours in a week can vary depending on the prof you are working with.
Course pressure: 1st year will be full course work and 2nd year will be for projects with 0–3
courses (depending on the institution) to complete. As far as the first semester is concerned, it
is certainly not tough, it is hectic. 3-4 courses you have to take in a semester. You will have a
midnight time limit for assignment submission. If you will survive for 2-months then this will
be a new normal for you. If you do not try for it then you can not fail in the subject.
Placements: Are you still looking for this? NO difference in the RA and TA category.
Apart from the above, there is no difference between TA and RA. Even RAs have one advantage
of getting exposed to the project more as they will be dedicating more time for the project. RAs
students have sufficient time to publish a research paper and that will add weight in the
resume.
