Remarks

IIT-M is arguably the best Technical Education Institute of India and has been positioned 1st for both overall and BTech NIRF rankings of 2020. It holds AICTE approval also and BTech programs are the most opted programmes here. JOSAA counselling is the aspect as per which seats are allocated in IIT Madras.

Course Curriculum Overview

Having 15+ departments and 8 research fields, IIT Madras is widely spread in terms of diversity also. I chose to opt for CSE branch of BTech program because I was always a technology loving person. I wanted to do something in this particular domain and that's why I decided to pursue this program. The 4 year BTech program consists of 8 semesters & exams are also semester-wise.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 284000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I haven't opted for the internship round, but my hard work for the studies gave me good knowledge about Industrial work. Although, I was not able to gain individual experience but still I was okay with it

Placement Experience

Being the No.1 IIT of the country, the placement records at IIT-M are really great. I got a INR 35 LPA salary package and 77% placements were recorded for BTech overall. The CSE branch got 90% of the students placed. The highest package was nearly INR 90 LPA and the top offers were made by firms like Microsoft, Google, Tata Group and HCL.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The total BTech program fee at IIT Madras is INR 2.84 lacs which excluded hostel expenses from it. The students of reserved were whereas given concessions in fee and their total dee was INR 17,150 only and the reserved categories were SC/ST caste students.

Campus Life

IIT Madras campus is one of the best among technical institutes in India and numerous event's like Mechanica, Exebit, Shaastra and Icon are there for the students. The library at IIM-M was a blessing for students like me who were also keen to learn. The event's of the Institute regarding the related fields were arranged by cultural committee, placement committee and alumni Interaction cell.

Hostel Facilities

My hostel days in IIT Madras hostels were probably the thing I miss the most. The hostel life was filled with great fun and gave me a ton of lifetime memories. Living in a sharing room I got to be self dependent through the hostel experience and enjoyed them to the fullest. The food was not lesser than any restaurant as a wide range of quality food varieties were available there for the students.

Hostel Fee: INR 40000 per year

Admission

Admissions here are done similarly to other IITs through the counselling round of JOSAA and as it is the top IIT its Cutoff score is among the highest in the country. The seats to IIT Madras are dependent on the JEE Main and JEE Advance exam score of the students

Overall Good

Placement Experience:

In our University from the starting of Seventh semester we are eligible for campus placements. Campanies like Jubilant food works, Zifo Technologies, Amura Heath Pvt.Ltd, Biocon etc. were some of the companies that visited our campus. Around fifty students got offers from these companies. About 70 percentage of the students got placements successfully. I am planning to pursue a master degree abroad

Campus is not very huge since it's in the centre of the city but the outside shops make up for this

From the very entry into your third year, you will be eligible to most of the placements. The training provided is very exquisite and some of the trainings start as early as 1st year. 2026 highest package was 55LPA. Many companies like from product companies like Microsoft, Capgemini to service based companies like TCS, INFOSYS etc.. visit our campus for regular placements. About 98% of people placed as far as I have heard.

A Good College Experience with Opportunities for Learning and Growth

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is fairly relevant and comprehensive, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications. It provides a good foundation for technical knowledge, but including more industry-oriented projects, hands-on training, and updated technologies would make it even better for future career opportunities.

It is better than my old college and giving free food and place to sit in the college campus.
In sports they are also helping for dearness allowance for playing matches and travelling.
They are also giving us the space to study and ask doubts without any hesitation

Dislikes

Canteen is not good and it is very congested
Some of teachers are not coming to the classes properly and they are also not teaching properly
Home guard is the problem in college. They are always making issues while parking the vehicles

Course Curriculum Overview:

Studying Master of commerce is okay. The same thing and few same subjects which I studied in undergraduate. Classes are good and we are also having some gaps. Not a big difference and 1 or 2 subjects are new for us. I want to suggest that to give holiday after the semester exams. But not before that. It is quite difficult for us to study. It will be easy for us to ask doubts.

I didn't apply to any other colleges because I didn't find any better college which would give me such flexibility in terms of fee and course pace.

Only 12th class certificate was required which obviously I have with more than 60 % in maths. Cuttoffs are very easy to obtain.
