The institute-direct M.Tech/MS is a backdoor for the persistent, where they judge your grit more than your grades in that twenty-minute chaos. They're looking for someone who won't quit when the funding is delayed or the simulation fails for the hundredth time. I know because I cleared one at an IIIT after three attempts, staring at those stern professors. But I declined the seat because I finally understood my persistence was for my own small, beautiful projects—not theirs. My sketchpad is my real panel interview, every night.
