Overall best college for M.A. In Economics Course.
Placements: Placements are excellent for our department. Students of finance are assigned to companies related to finance. The typical salary varies between approximately 15-25 LPA. PSUs visit our college for hiring purposes as well. The top packages reach as much as 3 LPA. Approximately 71-76% of students secure placements annually. 59% of learners obtained internships.
Infrastructure: The college is located in the northeast, and connectivity to the rest of India is limited. Thus, there were few female students on campus. Hotels were good. Each student is given an individual furnished room. Each hotel has a mess area, restaurant, and TV room. The food is awesome. It will take some time to adjust the menu for other public school students.
Faculty: Teachers in my department are good. They help others. Most of them give good grades compared to teachers in other departments. Many of us from our branch pursue activities such as software or non-teaching activities. Having this branch gives them enough time to prepare, as the classes are not so busy. Semester exams are easy. Almost everyone passes, but there are exceptions everywhere.

I'm dissatisfied with the aerospace, but it has good campus life, challenges, and lessons for life.
Placements: According to the survey conducted, placements for graduates of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras are average, with the salary package offered was 18 LPA. However, based on my observation and experience as a student here, there were zero core placements for Aerospace graduates last year.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our department is horrible with some ceilings falling off. The freshers' hostel is no less than a 5-star hotel, with all the facilities in it. Mess food is also nice, offering a wide variety of cuisines, with separate messes for North and South Indian menus. Wi-Fi is strong, and the libraries are very good, providing a great study environment.
Faculty: Some faculty members are good, while others are not as effective. Course curriculum is well-organized and student-friendly, with manageable pressure and minimal uneasiness. Faculty can be inconsistent, sometimes, they are good, and at other times, it may be difficult to keep up with them. Difficulty level increases with each semester, making it more challenging.

Life at IITM is like your dream college life.
Placements: Total 92% of the students in our department got placed in the last year. Top recruiting companies for our department are ITC, RIL, HUL, Nestle, and P&G.

Infrastructure: Institute Wi-Fi is present in all public places. Labs and classrooms are very well maintained and mostly air-conditioned. Library is open from 8:00 AM to 11:30 PM, and it is air-conditioned too. Hostel facilities are moderate, and we come to the hostel mostly for sleeping. We stay in the library most of the time. The quality of food available is also moderate. The institute hospital is very good, like a multi-specialty hospital. All types of sports are played here like cricket, football, badminton, chess, etc.
Faculty: All teachers are very helpful and friendly. All teachers are qualified and knowledgeable too but everyone has a different teaching style. The course curriculum is mostly relevant. Some topics are not that much relevant but they may be relevant in the future according to the interests of each student. The students become industry-ready. Semester exams are moderately difficult. Pass percentage is above 95%.
Other: Chemical Engineering is an interdisciplinary subject with its application in every other field. The best things about this course are that you can apply for both core profile and non-core profile simultaneously with the same efficiency.

A must experience campus life.
Placements: Firstly, the department of medical sciences and technology was launched in the year 2023, which means the 1st batch of students is currently in their third year, so as of now, none of the students have received placements from our department. But the department does organize internships in various hospitals partnered with our department. Some of which are SRM Institute of Medical Sciences, AIIMS Delhi, VHS hospital, etc.
Infrastructure: All the infrastructure in our department is top-notch, with table Wi-Fi connections, AC classrooms, and lab facilities for various subjects. All the students will be provided with hostels at the time of admission. There are single, double, triple, and quadruple sharing rooms. In each room, a cot, a cupboard, a study table with a chair, a socket, and LAN facilities will be provided. Hostels also have a basketball court, lawns, and various games, including board games. Mess can be selected by the students during each month according to their preference. The institute also has a hospital, which is open 24X7.
Faculty: All faculty members are highly qualified, and as our department is interdisciplinary, both doctors and engineering domain professors give lectures to us. Course curriculum includes subjects of both engineering and medicine, and the curriculum is specially designed by the professors of AIIMS Delhi, along with the founder of the department, so that it aligns with the vision of our department. Semester exams are not that difficult. Exams will either be multiple choice or subjective, depending upon the professor and the subject. The rule of relative grading is being followed for evaluation.
Other: I chose this course as it was a new as well as an interdisciplinary field. The best thing about the course is that we gain hands-on lab experiences as well as in-depth knowledge about various fields of engineering and medicine. I believe this makes our opportunities vast and not limited. Campus is famous for its technical fest Shaastra, and the cultural fest Saarang. Campus has a lot of facilities, including a gymkhana, stadium, sports complex, volleyball and basketball courts, and a central library. There are various clubs also including coding, music, dance, fine arts, and many more.
