About INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MADRAS.

Placements: I am actually a first-year UG student, so I don't know much about placements, but according to my knowledge, placement is really good in this college, and many companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook come to campus placements to recruit students in my course, mechanical engineering. There are vast roles like nanotechnology, robotics, machine learning, design, etc. Nearly everybody will get an internship in this college. The highest package is around 2 crores; I have no idea about the lowest package.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are very neatly maintained, and Wi-Fi is available everywhere except some places, but in the library, there is very good Wi-Fi. Labs are also really good and well-maintained. Hostels have their individual sports facilities and Wi-Fi facility. There are so many grounds and sports complexes in this college; so much importance is given to sports.

Faculty: Faculty here is really good; they all are well-educated from very good universities and completed their post-graduation. Professors help students personally. Course curriculum is not that relevant for first-year students, but from the second year, it is very much relevant. Semester exams are not that difficult, but they are tricky; proper knowledge should be there to answer them.

Other: I was interested in Physics during my 11th and 12th, especially in Thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, so I opted for this course. I would improve the curriculum of the first year. So many events happen every weekend where everybody interacts with each other and spends time. 2 fests happen every year; they are Shaastra and Saarang, technical and cultural. So many scholarships are available for students who have economic problems.

Good for people to make connections. But bad for cultural ethics.

Placements: About 87 percent of students are placed. The other students go for higher studies. Or for research or business. The top roles are finance, quant, technical, AI and ML, consultant and core. The top recruiting companies are of Google, Microsoft, Jane Street, Optiver, etc. The average package is about 26 lpa. The highest is about 2.4 crore. The average CSE package is about 41 lpa. About 70 percent of students got internships. They generally get roles in product management, consultant, software development, AI, quant, etc.

Infrastructure: Everything was available. But it was sad that the library was not open for 24 hours. Wi-Fi was available in the hostel but the speed was slow. But in the lab, it was at an awesome speed. Classrooms are also good. The food was also average. There were north Indian and also south Indian mess. Whatever you like. You can choose.

Faculty: The teachers were helpful. But only for that course. They were highly qualified teachers. Even there were some professors from Stanford. Some were researchers, scholars and authors. They also provide Amus with lots of lab work. Which is relevant to industry. But for non-core. We need to prepare on our own. Semester exams were easy but the grades were based on relatively high grading.

Other: Fests are held in January. But that was also south-dominant. They conduct saarang and shaastra. Shaastra is the teaching festival, and Saarang is the cultural festival. The crowd goes from 90k to even 100k. I chose the course for a programme named IDDD, where I can change my mechanical course to courses like data science, robotics, etc. at the end of the 2nd year.
