    Excellent academics and beautiful life in the campus.
    Placements: The placement scenario is excellent. Not only in my senior batch but the condition is same from past many decades. Almost all big names like google, oracle, HPCL, etc. came for campus placement. 95% students are placed. For the rest 5%, these are the students those did not sit for placements due to their own business. The highest salary offered in my knowledge is around 65 LPA and the minimum is 3.5 LPA with an average of 8 LPA. Companies offered the role according to their requirement like consulting, manager, planning, etc. Almost 60% students were offered for the internship. Many offers came from abroad. Stipend offered in the range of 2-7 lakhs with an average of 3 lakhs.
    Infrastructure: Campus is full of facilities. Every hostel has its own TV room, sports kit (cricket, football, badminton, squash, pool in few, hockey, etc.). A well facilitated hospital is there with 6-7 doctors including many specialist. College area is around 618 acres. Every department has well equipped labs. They provides one of the facility in India.

    A great campus which is self-sustained.
    Placements: The placements for CSE are excellent as always but if you go to the other branches, the chances of placement reduce to 30-50% only. In the case of chemical engineering M.Tech. it is around 10% for core companies and the remaining 20% go in software companies. For B.tech branches, CSE is the best with almost 100% placements while the others also get in core companies to around 30-40%, while the rest of them will get in software with overall around 85-90% placements.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but not the best as I have studied in NIT Allahabad(B.Tech). There we have AC in almost all the labs and lecture halls but here in Madras, there are no ACs even in the lecture halls. The library is good with full air-conditioning, and the hospital is excellent and by far the best I have seen in any college. Talking about sports, it can be said that it is one of the best colleges which provides a great support for games and physical activities, from yoga to meditation to almost every sport you can imagine with coaches for some of them like cricket, football, hockey etc.
    Faculty: The faculty team is no doubt one of the best for M.Tech. Most of them are having a great knowledge about their subjects and are well-qualified too. You may find a little difficulty while doing the project in the 2nd year so choose your guide wisely or it will spoil your grades.
    Other: You will find everything here from shopping centres to ATMs, food court and a 24*7 open IRCTC canteen. Apart from this, the campus is very beautiful to roam around especially at night. There is no smoking and drinking inside the campus. Earlier it was a wildlife sanctuary in which this IIT was built so all the other animals are present except those which can harm us. We have deer, monkeys, foxes, jackals and many other animals.

    Other: It is one of the best college in India. More focus here is on the research part as a result of which many student gain the confidence to think of their own start up. There are two major departments here who work in sync to help you out with starting up, they even help you out in finance and give you 5 lacks. There are a lot of experienced mentors here who have successfully made an exit from their numerous start ups. Study wise this college does not put a lot of pressure on students. Basically I wanted to go to IIT Bombay first but then getting to know this college and the reviews from few of my friends in IITB I thought this college would suit for me better. For M.tech every one has to do one year academic courses with their projects and in the second year a research project. This is gives hands on experience of the industrial projects and a loads of experiance. For the B.Tech students there are loads of internship progs available in reputed companies like Merc. Benz, google, Microsoft and a lot more. I think this will give a brief introduction of my college.
