Admission Process

Admissions are done the basis of rank in JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced).

Eligibility Criteria

The candidates should satisfy at least one of the following two criteria for admission to IIT:

(1) Must have secured at least 75% aggregate marks in the Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination. The aggregate marks for SC, ST, and PwD candidates should be at least 65%. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are required as compulsory subjects in Class XII (or equivalent) Board examination.

(2) Must be within the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective Class XII (or equivalent) board examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.

The percentile calculation will be done for the required subjects in a single academic year only. Therefore, candidates appearing for improvement in Board examinations can EITHER appear in one or more subjects and secure 75% aggregate marks (65% for SC, ST, and PwD) after improvement, OR, appear for improvement in ALL subjects to be in top 20 percentile of the corresponding academic year.

• The marks scored in the following five subjects will be considered for calculating the aggregate marks and the cut-off marks for fulfilling the top 20 percentile criterion.

i. Physics

ii. Chemistry

iii. Mathematics

iv. A language (if the candidate has taken more than one language, then the language with the higher marks will be considered)

v. Any subject other than the above four (the subject with the highest marks will be considered).

College infrastructure includes swimming pool, the Knowledge center(library) with a wide range of books, air conditioned classrooms (only a few), renewable sources of energy like solar panels and solar heaters. The company of friends from various backgrounds is the best thing we get here. People from all over India come here to study a wide number of courses available. Talking about facilities in hostel, we have water dispensers in every wing or floor, we have a TV room, a TT(Table Tennis) room, a hostel library, a music room and also a tech room. We have solar heaters and a good water supply. Talking about affordability recent rise in the fee structure makes it a bit difficult for general category middle class families but the various number of scholarships that one can get can cover that.

The Indian Institute of Technology Madras known for its excellency in engineering has been a life changing experience. The kind of exposure you get here is really a fantastic one. We have several clubs like Auto club, literary club, music club and most importantly centre for innovation that lies the basic platform for all the freshers to lead their technical life. As a matter of fact CFI is the best hands-on exposure which any fresher would aspire for. The competition which you get from your fellow friends is a major driving factor in pushing your academic records. You have abundant resources that helps a student to show a holistic development. We have insti sports team as well as hostel teams to get exposure towards sports. we were provided with internet facilities 24*7 that has made us to work round the clock. The diversity among students is a major hurdle which anybody needs to jump over. If you get adjusted to IIT culture then undoubtedly you can get adjusted to any situation. On the whole IIT Madras is the best to spend your 4 or 5 years to gain knowledge about your technical life.

The infrastructure available in the institute is of state-of-the-art quality. It is also easily accessible for the students. The industry exposure should be significantly increased for the students. Although, there is a good practical exposure for the students to gain experience from. The variety of life choices available in the institute surely molded my lifestyle and my thought process. The placement scenario in the campus is one of the best in the country. The hostels are of decent outlook with an average mess food quality. The professors in my institute sure are gems of the country. They are highly knowledgeable. The student diversity enables us to create a highly tolerant and neutral environment unlike most parts of the country.

I feel our campus life is nicely divided between fun and study. A lot of time is available with us to pursue our own interests. The Campus of IIT Madras is huge and has everything that is required by a student, whether it is for studies or for leisure. Also, the scenic beauty of the campus is amazingly refreshing.
