What Students Say

Likes

Informal club is the best in IIT Madras.
Faculties doesn't mind you walking to class in shorts.

Dislikes

The gate securities are arrogant as hell

Course Curriculum Overview

At IIT Madras, the course stuff is pretty cool. I picked it 'cause it matches my career goals. Profs are super smart with Ph. Ds, and they teach in a fun way. The professor-to-student ratio is decent, so you get some face time. Exams are on time but a bit tough. You gotta work hard to make the grade.

Class Size: 118Course Fees: INR 28000 per year

Internships Opportunities

I did my internship at Reliance Industries Limited. it was a core intern and I got it in my internship drive. We also have a research park at our campus which is a hub for all the budding startups, that provide Internships here. It's very resourceful and there are a huge number of opportunities here at IIT Madras. The stipend would be averaging around 50k per month.

Placement Experience

4.5

Placements at IIT Madras are fantastic! Students get the chance to dive into the job market from their 6th semester onwards, and boy, the list of companies that roll in is impressive. You've got giants like Google, Microsoft, and a bunch more snatching up talent left and right. The highest packages are jaw-dropping and around 14,00,000 a month, and the average ones are nothing to scoff at either. Pretty much everyone here walks away with a sweet job offer. It's a great feeling, I tell you. As for me, I'm all set to chase my dream tech job after I get that shiny degree. The opportunities are endless, and it's an exciting ride ahead!

Fees and Financial Aid

So, let's talk cash! Studying at IIT Madras isn't dirt cheap, but it's worth it. Fees might vary, and they have this policy where they bump it up a bit each year. But hey, don't freak out! They've got scholarships and financial aid to help out. I managed to snag the "Bright Future" scholarship and a part-time gig on campus. It pays some bills and gives you extra pocket money. So, it's doable, even if it's a bit tight sometimes. They provide no-interest educational loans to financially struggling students that the students can pau on their own time.

Campus Life

3.5

Life at IIT Madras rocks! We've got "Saarang" and "Shaastra" fests in Jan and Sept. The library's loaded, classrooms are top-notch, and we've got sports, clubs, and student-run groups like "Kerala Kala Samilti, Marati Mitra Mandal etc for each state ." It's a blast!

Hostel Facilities

Hostels at IIT Madras are cool! Rooms have the basics, Wi-Fi's decent. Food's alright, but the menu gets old. Hostel reg is a breeze. If renting, the Adyar locality's nearby and affordable. You can even look for PG's near taramani and Velachery as we have a gate on both sides.

Hostel Fee: INR 14000 per year

Admission

Getting into IIT Madra Score high in JEE, apply online, select a preferred branch, get shortlisted, attend counselling, confirm the seat, and you're in! Study hard and enjoy campus life. JEE advanced is going to be hard though but you will figure it out.

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

The bring in a lot of industry professionals every.One or the other event always keeps happening.

Dislikes

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

Placement Experience:

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.

The Ultimate Real World Skill Learning Source : IITM BS Degree.

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. I didn't applied so I didn't get rejected from anywhere. To get admission in my current college , I had to qualify a qualifier (entrance for this degree) exam which made me eligible for this exam. Only 12th class certificate was required which obviously I have with more than 60 % in maths. Cuttoffs are very easy to obtain. The cuttoff is according to category, for my catogery which is obc I had to obtain at least 40% marks but I get 82% marks and hence passed the qualifier and got the admission letter.
