IIT Madras (IITM) All Questions

Hello student,

First of all, it's the first choice of individual student to go for their topic of interest if we have got the respective rank, according to their interest. On the other hand, each of the the colleges have some streams which have a better performance as compared to the counterparts. So, from the last few years, it's been a common trend that toppers generally opt for IITB as their first choice option, but it doesn't make other colleges less important and it's just a matter of interest.

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing absolutely great.

So with regard to your query, the closing rank for IIT Madras for the Naval Architecture course is 7238, this is for general category. For OBC NCL category it is 3499, for EWS it is 1391 and for SC or ST it is 1792. These are the ranks basing upon the reservation categories.

If you wish to take admission to the course of Bsc Programming and Data Science program after 10+2 then you need to qualify the JEE. But if you wish to take admission to the course without JEE, then you need to get enrolled in some UG course and on the 2nd year of the course you can apply for the course. Also after completion of your UG course you can also pursue for the course through direct entry.

I hope this helps. Wish you a great eve!

Hi,

It's a great course to have in, and chance to join the strongest Alumni network of IIT Madras which comprises of nearly 45000+ successful people who graduated from India's top notch engineering institute.

It's a perfect blend of programming and mathematics. You would be having chance to learn Machine Learning from India's Machine learning champ Prof. Balaram Ravindran.

Believe me once you have done courses like Python, Machine Learning, Statistics , Deep Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms from IIT Madras than I can strongly say no one is going to stop you to become a Software Development Engineer or a Data Scientist at some of the leading software companies.

Although it's a new course so on campus opportunities will be less and even if You tries to get from on campus than competition is going to be very intense. As there are various talented students and Engineering degree is given weightage.

But if You try off campus than You will have so many opportunities as a Software Development Engineer. I have seen people with MCA, BCA degree from normal college working with top Companies like Microsoft. So don't worry it's IIT Madras degree so You will be having great opportunity to grow and connect to network.

Various Software Companies that hires are :-

• JP Morgan
• Microsoft
• Goldman Sachs
• Deloitte
• Morgan Stanley
• Standard Chartered
• Barclays
• Amazon
• Credit Suisse
• Citi Bank
• Proctor and gamble
• Fin Mechanics
• Oracle Financial
• Bajaj Finserv
• Fractal Analytics
• GE healthcare

the list is very long, etc etc.

As for the placements, its highly unlikely and with negligible chances that IIT Madras will allow online degree students to sit in regular placement process of regular students. They will create a separate process for placements, and as per IITM, its in developing phase.

But be sure that placements process of online students will cater sufficiently. In my opinion, it will be an online portal where students can upload their CV/resume and companies will call the students for interview by shortlisting, similar like online job portal but only available to online degree students.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Hi,

In my opinion, you should go for IIT Kanpur.

The Aerospace Engineering department at IITK has four subsections- Aerodynamics, Flight dynamics and control, Structures and Propulsion. Each subsection has their own computational and experimental laboratories. Various laboratories in Aero IITK are: Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab, Computational Structures Lab, Computational Flight Machanics , Computational Propulsion, Virtual Instrumentation Lab, Unsteady Aerodynamics Lab, High Speed Aerodynamics Lab, Propulsion Lab, UAV and MAV laboratories, Advanced Structures and Materials Lab, Structural Analysis Lab. Besides, we are the only IIT to have a large closed circuit Wind Tunnel . We also have open circuit wind tunnels meant for UG lab courses and High speed wind tunnel with design Mach number as high as 2–2.5 . Thus, Aerospace Engineering is a great place to explore your research potentials. You can even get a few papers published in respected journals in your Undergraduate programs if you work hard enough.

As far as foreign universities are concerned, great many students from our department go for summer internships and higher studies abroad. I have many friends from my batch alone who are doing their summer internships abroad in US, Russia, France, Italy. Even I am an SN Bose Scholar doing my summer Internship at University of Southern California this summer. Many of my seniors have gone for MS and PhD programs to esteemed Universities like University of Maryland, Stanford, John Hopkins, Purdue, Georgia Tech and so on. Getting into foreign universities entirely depends on how hard you work in you Undergraduate life and has nothing to do with which IIT you get into.

As far as placements are concerned, IITK has a slight edge over IITM due to its location and the working of the Placement cell. Since most of the government and private aviation and aerospace research organizations are located in South India, recruiting from IITM becomes easier.

Being one of the oldest IITs, the student life at IITK is great. The atmosphere here is dynamic and conducive for both academic and extracurricular. IITK has great sports facilities with large number of tennis and basketball courts, large hockey and football ground and Olympic sized swimming pool. The student body, Gymkhana is very active throughout the year, There are large number of clubs and hobby groups. You can join any number of clubs and hobby groups and explore your interest and broaden your horizon while having good academics. Since most of the activities in IITK are managed by the students, you get to build good managerial and professional skills. IITK organizes three main inter college festivals- Antaragni(Cult fest), Techkriti(Tech fest) and Udghosh(Sports fest). All these fest are completely organized by students and receive great participation and response. The PORs (Position of Responsibility) range from Event secretaries to Festival coordinators. Besides, we also have Inter hall competitions- Galaxy(cult fest), Takneek(Tech fest), Inferno(sports fest). The atmosphere during these Inter hall competitions is quite electrifying and the best experience during your entire stay at IITK.

Besides this, the faculty student interaction is great. The professors are very friendly and humble. You can easily get to work on projects under any professor in areas of your interest. It is easy to get good recommendations if you maintain even a decent enough relation with the professors.

The student life at IITK is wholesome and something you will cherish even after your graduation from this great place.

Hope this helps.

All the best.

Hello aspirant,

Yes, Many IIT's like IIT Madras and IIT Tirupati, conduct written test and interviews round for the admission of M.Tech or MS. IIT Madras call for interview for M. Tech who has qualified first round (written exam) . They used to ask some conceptual questions and some practical application oriented questions.

Admission in M. Tech (TA) and Research programmes, like MS, in most IIT include written test/ interview along with GATE score , so candidates must prepare well for it and should have the proper preparation strategy for it.

Hey Aspirant

As per the information brochure provided by the different IITs regarding the B.Tech in Biomedical Engineering course, The IITs like IIT MADRAS, IIT DELHI, IIT BHU, IIT MUMBAI offers only postgraduate biomedical engineering programme not the undergraduate one. However there are other colleges offering UG Biomedical Engineering course, such as

1. Manipal Institute of Technology
2. College of Engineering Pune
3. Sattyabhama University
4. VIT Vellore
5. SRM Institute Chennai

Good luck!!!

There are free courses available on Artificial Intelligence which are offered by IIT's at NPTEL. Doing the courses here are for free but if you wish to get a online certificate, then you have to pay Rs. 1000 as an examination fee & on qualifying the examination you will be provided a online certificate of the course you have completed & this certificate will be verifiable by the IIT's.

If you are wanting such courses then do download the Swayam NPTEL app or visit the swayam website by visiting the link provided below:

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing absolutely great!

So, with regard to your query, YES there is an interview for the students for getting admission into IIT Madras for Mtech course. The interview is generally conducted to those students, who had qualified in the written entrance exam. Some practical and conceptual questions will be asked during the time of the interview.

However, there was no interview during the previous year, because of the COVID pandemic. Students got qualified directly through their GATE scores.

Hope this helps you,

Good luck, Thank you.
