Dear Aspirant,

There are many benifits doing this courses at IIT a major goal behind this courses is to turn you in to a great researcher.

• Benefits of MS+PhD or MS from IIT varies from person to person and research interest to research interest and all the possibilities can't be described in crisp as the output of any Work is totally dependent on the one who is working but there are few possibilities you can keep as a draft to finalize your decision.

Benefits of MS from IIT:

• I would say it as a great opportunity where you can work on a mini research rather than making your hands dirty directly touching a complex research for 5yrs as a PhD student.
• Let's you find whether you have that ability to do research for long hours.
• The professor out there in IIT do have a broader connections with the professors at top universities in the world.if you have a dream to study abroad in the world's top notch colleges then you have plenty of opportunities to get in to PhD at top universities in the world.

Benefits of MS+PhD at IIT:

• I would rather say join it only if you figured out research area that interests you the most.
• You will be getting plenty of time to dive deep in to the domain you finalized to work on.
• Lets you complete all your research work while staying in India rather than relocating to different countries.
• This program turns you as a great researcher if you enjoy doing it.

**Placements are same even if you do MS or MS+, PhD at IIT .

hope this helps you out
All the Best
