How To Study At IIT While Working
Getting into an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is a dream for lakhs of students in India. It not only helps in career growth but also brings many other benefits such as exposure to students with a growth mindset, access to experienced and highly qualified professors, advanced laboratory facilities, strong placement support, and much more. There are multiple ways to get admission into IIT. For pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) or Bachelor of Technology (BTech), students must clear the JEE Mains and Advanced exams. For those who want to pursue Master of Technology (MTech), the GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) exam is the entry route. However, these are all full-time programs, and students need to attend the campus regularly to complete the course. Part-Time Course for Working Professionals For those who are unable to attend regular classes due to work or personal commitments, many IITs offer MTech program. These programs are designed specifically for working professionals. Classes are usually scheduled in the evenings or on weekends, making it easier for individuals to continue their jobs while pursuing higher education. Eligibility Criteria Each IIT has its own specific eligibility rules for part-time MTech programs. In most cases, candidates do not need to appear for an entrance exam to get admission. To be eligible, the candidate must have a or BE degree from a recognised university. In addition to educational qualifications, relevant work experience is usually required. This ensures that candidates are prepared for the demands of a part-time academic program while continuing their professional responsibilities. Admission Process The admission process for part-time MTech programs may vary across IITs. It often includes a written test and interview. In some specializations, GATE scores may be considered, although it is not always mandatory. The selection process typically evaluates the candidate's GATE score (if required), past academic performance, and professional experience. After the shortlisting process, selected candidates are invited for interviews, and sometimes a written test, before final admission is granted. Program Duration While the full-time program lasts for 24 months (4 semesters), the part-time MTech program usually spans over 36 months (6 semesters). The course content remains the same as the full-time program, but the extended timeline helps balance academic learning with work commitments. IITs Offering Part-Time MTech Programs Many of the most prestigious IITs offer part-time options, including: • IIT Delhi • IIT Bombay • IIT Roorkee • IIT Kanpur Other IITs may also offer similar opportunities. Students should carefully explore the courses available in each institution. According to Gitesh Gaharwar, a student who completed MTech from IIT Roorkee while working: "Doing MTech at IIT while continuing my job was challenging, but totally worth it. The program is flexible and the faculty is supportive. I could apply what I learned in real time at my workplace. It helped me grow both academically and professionally." Students interested in part-time MTech programs at IITs are advised to regularly check the official websites of the respective institutes. These websites will provide accurate information about fees, application deadlines, registration process, course availability, and other important details.

Google Admits Alert System Failure During Turkey's 2023 Earthquake
Google's Android Earthquake Alerts System (AEA) failed to accurately warn people ahead of the 2023 Turkey earthquake, which killed more than 55,000 people and injured over 1 lakh, the tech giant has admitted. The twin quakes, measuring 7.8 and 7.5 in magnitude, flattened buildings across southeastern Turkey and northern Syria in the early hours of February 6, catching millions asleep. Despite being live and operational at the time, the system underestimated the severity of the first 7.8-magnitude quake, the BBC reported. According to Google, only 469 "Take Action" alerts (its highest-priority warnings) were sent out, even though up to 10 million people within 160 km of the epicentre were eligible to receive them. Instead, around half a million users were sent a lower-level "Be Aware" warning, which is designed for light shaking and does not trigger loud alerts or override 'Do Not Disturb' settings. The system runs on Android devices, which make up over 70 per cent of mobile phones in Turkey, and is meant to detect ground movement via sensors in smartphones and quickly notify users before the strongest shaking arrives. During the quake, Google's detection algorithm estimated the shaking at between 4.5 and 4.9 on the moment magnitude scale, which was far below the actual 7.8 magnitude. "We continue to improve the system based on what we learn in each earthquake," a Google spokesperson told the BBC, after months of scrutiny. The company previously claimed the system "performed well." The quake struck at 04:17 am, when most people were asleep and unaware of the impending danger. The "Take Action" alert, which produces a loud, intrusive alarm, would have been crucial in waking users and giving them time to seek safety. But in the months following the disaster, BBC researchers were unable to find a single person in affected areas who received this critical alert before the quake hit. Google researchers later published findings in the journal Science, acknowledging "limitations to the detection algorithms." For the second large quake later that day, the system did perform somewhat better, sending 8,158 Take Action alerts and just under four million Be Aware notifications. Following the disaster, Google improved its algorithm and re-ran a simulation of the first earthquake. This time, the system would have sent out 10 million Take Action alerts and 67 million Be Aware alerts. The AEA system is now active in 98 countries, and Google claims it has been improved based on learnings from Turkey's quake.
