    College Infrastructure

    I would recommend IIT Madras as the best destination if engineering is the passion you have. Placements: Placements are really great and our college managed it very well. Almost 80% of the students got placed. Google Microsoft, TI, GE, Tata motors are some of the top core companies that visited the campus. The placements are not limited to core areas but also non core areas ranging from finance to consultancy. Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for us were of top class.

    Academics

    It's the best out there , the teachers are very great.The teachers were highly qualified and did teach well. We had the choice to choose our courses from lot of relevant courses. Curriculum is designed to be highly challenging and makes you brainstorm preparing one for industry. They try to get best out the students.

    Placements

    It has great placements in all areas that any person might be interested in especially in my degree as it is full of variety and people from different walks of life. I am assured being the first batch we will break all records.

    Value for Money

    Pretty economical , 2.85 lakhs for the whole degree.

    College Infrastructure

    Yes it has an excellent infrastructure . We have sufficient facilities and all proper equipments. We have wifi facilities in hostel rooms, classrooms , library and at many places of institution. We have computer facilities in library for the students who can't afford a PC. Every class is equipped with projectors . Yes living spaces are cleaned regularly . Campus is always very clean. Food provided was hygienic but the taste not maintained up to the mark due to that students prefer to eat outside

    Academics

    I am studying in mechanical engineering , Quality of teaching depends on the proffs in my opinion. Not everyone teach in the way we understand. Yes I think curriculum is updated and includes all recent developments in the field.

    Placements

    I don't know much about placements but as far as I know about 75% students gets placed. Highest packages was more than 1Cr . It was from Computer science branch. I think average salary offered was around 6-8 lac per annum

    College Infrastructure

    IIT Madras is already a well-known college and was established way back in 1951. The college has all the necessary infrastructure and equipment and so much more. The classrooms are big enough to accommodate the students. The campus also has buildings and areas allocated for the student activities.

    Academics

    I am currently pursuing B.Tech in mechanical engineering at IITM. The professors here are well experienced. The curriculum is very flexible and gives the students a chance to pursue a minor or extend their degree to a dual degree.

    Placements

    According to the last years stats IITM has managed to place all its students from the btech course. Though the placement process was done online, the college has done remarkably well in getting the students placed.

    Value for Money

    Many companies and campus programs provide scholarship to students based on the economic background and their performance in the academics. The institute also encourages students irrespective of their background to pursue their dreams in the area of their interest.

    Campus Life

    I have not experienced it yet but I certainly believe from what I have heard that it is campus life that makes the experience at IIT memorable for life. I hate to miss it but I am also very eager to go to the campus as soon as possible.

    Others

    It is worth all the hard work and pain that takes to get here. It is not just the college but the students and people here that make the experience very special.

    The only institute in India with a research park is IIT Madras. The campus, which spans 600 acres and includes well-equipped facilities, is enormous. You also have access to a variety of sports facilities, including cricket, football, tennis, squash, and a gym

    Academics

    I would say that the majority of the faculty members are quite well qualified, that they represent some of the brightest minds in the country. The attendance policy is a little severe as it is necessary to keep an average of 85 percent

    Placements

    In my opinion, placements have been excellent in recent years. Many companies are hiring for positions in Analytics, Finance, Data Science, Software Development, and Product Management. Core placements in areas other than CSE, EE, Mechanical Engineering aren't particularly good

    Value for Money

    Despite the fact that IIT fees have increased. the government and institute make every effort to assist financially disadvantaged students

    If someone is willing, there are numerous activities to participate in and there are numerous groups within the institute that keep you busy with various activities of the time.all

    "An ocean full of opportunities"

    College Infrastructure

    IITM is known to have world-class facilities with state-of-the-art laboratories, well-equipped classrooms, all major sports facilities, a central library, cafeterias, and good hostel and mess facilities. The whole first semester was insufficient for me to explore all the places on campus. Initially, hostel facilities may not match the expectations, but soon, the hostel would become my second home. I was scared about mess food, but it is good in terms of taste and as well as hygiene.

    Academics

    Honestly, classroom study is not that interesting except for a few prof's classes, but the environment and culture outside the class and friends will teach you a lot. The research and entrepreneurship environment is the best among all the institutes in the country. The curriculum is always up to date and aligned with the industry requirements.

    Placements

    IITM is always a favorite destination for recruitment for many top firms (e.g., Google, Amazon, Netflix, IBM, and many more). The placement percentage for 2019-20 was 64% across all streams, with the highest salary offered, Rs. 88.82 lakhs per annum in the Computer-Science branch. The median salary offered to UG was 13.06 lakhs per annum. Institute extends all support to help you out in the placement procedure.

    Value for Money

    Although the fees for IITs have been increased, the government and institute ensure to help financially weak students in all possible ways. There are many schemes by the government and various merit-based scholarships provided by the institute to help these students. Apart from this, from my experience, the quality education and exposure I am getting, have no comparison with the invested money.

    Campus Life

    There are a lot of activities to do if someone is willing. There are many clubs in the institute that engage you in different activities all the time. I have never seen an event like "Saarang" in my life before. Apart from academic pressure, campus life is enriching and you will make a lot of friends and lifetime memories.

    Iit name itself have brand. Iit madras have very good infrastructure with proper lab with equipments and classroom with white board and libraries with all necessary books and sport ground and i have not opted for the hostel but i have asked to my friends according to him All hostel at IIT Madras has almost all Indore games along with some outdore games. Every wing in a hostel has a washing machine and we do have a common washing room. It's 24*7 free Internet + electricity+ water.

    Academics

    I am an student of ms mechanical engineering and the courses are little bit updated with new theory and practical but student are not well prepared for the job interview and practical are not focused teacher more over focused on theoretical part and webinar are conducted. And faculty are all phd with greatest knowledge and They are world known in there specification. They have plenty of research paper in top conferences.They generally involved in lot of government and private sectors projects.

    Placements

    engineering has almost 100% placements with average package of 12lpa. More then 250 companies register every year and hear intership is 100% You can take up a project in your department or get into a company.I didn't apply for internship. Generally stipend offered is around 25k to 70k per month.

    Value for Money

    Yearly fee is ok but if you are having any financial problems than IIT comes under A grade college, so lots of banks(including SBI, Canera etc) offer loan with 9% of annual tax. Also MHRD used to pay scholarship of 12.4k to masters and 26k to Direct PhD students.

    Campus Life

    Campus Life is amazing here. You have a your own beach which you can go anytime you want (except during night time when there are high tides). But, never go for swimming in the water as chances of drowning is very high in those waters. We have amazing seniors to help, two fests, one ENGINEER (technical fest), and the other INCIDENT (cultural fest). INCIDENT is the best fest overall as it is the second largest fest in whole of South India after IIT Bombay's MOOD INDIGO.

    First of all, hats off to you getting an MTech offer from IIT Madras, especially in Artificial Intelligence, is a big achievement, regardless of how you label yourself. Even if you think you're average, you clearly did something right your GATE score, interviews, or SOP must’ve stood out.Being from an IIT, you’ll now be among top faculty and peer groups, and this can really transform your career. AI is booming whether in academia, research, or industry, and IIT Madras has direct links with top recruiters, startups, and even global collaborations.

    You can use this opportunity to focus on core concepts and coding ,do research projects under professors and apply for internships in companies and research labs.

    You're not average if you’ve reached here. Keep going

    Thank you!

    Certainly

    Admission to IIT Madras, like all Indian Institutes of Technology, is highly competitive and governed by strict eligibility criteria. To qualify, candidates must clear JEE Advanced and also meet specific academic standards. The official requirements state that applicants must either achieve a minimum of 75% marks in their Class 12 examinations (65% for SC, ST, or PwD categories), or rank within the top 20 percentile of their respective board for the relevant category.


    With a score of 49%, you would not meet the general marks criterion. Your eligibility now depends on whether this score places you within the top 20 percentile of your board for your category. It is advisable to check your board’s percentile cutoffs for your specific year and category to confirm this.


    If you are not eligible this year, you might consider preparing to retake JEE Main and Advanced in the next cycle, provided you meet age and attempt limits. Alternatively, you could explore admission to other reputable institutions such as IIITs, NITs (if your JEE Main score is competitive), state engineering colleges, or private universities with more flexible entry requirements.


    Should you wish, I can assist in identifying colleges that align with your current academic profile and category. Please let me know if you would like more tailored guidance.
