hi,
difference between m.tech and m.s courses is m.tech is more in depth knowledge of any particular engineering stream with the technical ideas and future of any technology. whether ms is fully research based and more interest is given on thesis rather than practical approch. here iit kanpur has ms program on civil engineering. gate score of 600+ is enough for shortlisting for interview process. however it is liable to change in every year. cutoff marks in camparely low to m.tech admission in iit kanpur. placement has no guaranty, most of the students after completing ms course goes for higher studies or phd course in foreign or iits.
MS is research based and it is required for you to publish a research paper or a journal based on your research for the 2 years under a guide whereas Mtech would be course based where you usually study for an year or a year and half, do a project and sit for placements.
There's no program as MS in India there's only MSc( masters in science) or Mtech.
Since you did not mention a specific IIT , To get into an MSc course in civil engineering( there are a lot of options for Msc in civil) in any of the IITS you need to give GATE and your rank preferably should be below 700-800.
Yes. Placements are great in IITS in general. If you manage to get into a Top tier IIT you are bound to get placed.
Hope this helped.
All the best.
