M.Tech or PhD - gaurang94 - 03-15-2017

Dear sir,
I am B.Tech graduate in biotechnology.. I had given TIFR GS2017 exam back in December'16. Based on this exam, and application form, I am shortlisted in IISER Pune for PhD program.. Also I have submitted application form in NCBS Bangalore.
I have also appeared for Gate'17 and I have calculated 47.35 marks based on answer key.

Now I am confused whether I should pursue PhD from IISER/ NCBS or do M.Tech from IITs.. As doing PhD for 5 years(or even 7 years in some cases) is big investment of time for me.
Please advice me whether I will get better job opportunity than IITs after my PhD.
Please advice me the correct path for my career..
Thank you in advance..

Hi, thank you for replying, can you please point out some advantages of PhD from IISER/NCBS over M.Tech from IIT? In future I will be looking for industrial jobs..
