I would not suggest doing an MTech now, there is very little value in MTech in India, other than from good colleges. Unless you are very specifically looking at
1. Government Jobs
2. Teaching Profession
I would NOT recommend going for MTech now. The most important thing you need to understand is that , there is an opportunity cost associated with MTech, the point is you are losing 2 years of your job, and 2 years of experience. If you cannot make up for what you lose in the knowledge you gain, and in being able to apply to more companies, you are losing A LOT.
Firstly the only important difference you would find between BTech , and MTech is actually only the project/thesis you do. In average colleges, this is often a joke, and I have seen people get through with projects that would not even make the B.Tech
Project cut at NITs, so considering your interest is to get into Core CS, it would not help you.
If you look at placement statistics, the placement statistics of MTechs ain't much better (or in many cases are actually worse) than that of BTech of the same college.
Look at the faculties in the colleges you are going to, do you really think they would be able to guide the MTech students ?
So going for MTech now will NOT help you to
1. Get more deep knowledge about core CS topics.
2. Get a much better placement at a later time
If you are confident that you can do better, I would definitely suggest aiming for IITs (even NITs have
very little additional value when it comes to MTech) and I am sure you can make it.
