Q:   Can I get admission to IIT Madras with a low JEE rank?

A: 
Admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) is highly competitive and the admission process is based on the candidate's JEE Advanced rank. However, admission to IIT Madras or any other IIT with a low JEE rank is unlikely, as the cutoff for admission is generally very high. That being said, it's important to remember that JEE rank is not the only factor that IITs consider during the admission process. Other factors such as academic performance, extracurricular activities, and achievements in related fields may also be taken into account. Additionally, some IITs offer other admission channels like the Direct Admission of Students Abroad (DASA) scheme, which allows foreign nationals to apply for admission to IITs based on their SAT scores. It's always best to check the official IIT Madras website for the most up-to-date information on their admission process, eligibility criteria, and other requirements.

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.

The campus life at our college is very peaceful.
Placements: Every year, only 60-70% of students get placements. The remaining students opt for higher studies. The highest salary package offered is 23 LPA. The average salary package offered is 15 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 10 LPA. Placements depend on students' efforts and skills they learn.
Infrastructure: The aerospace department was constructed in 1971. It is one of the old departments in IIT Madras with the latest technology. It provides free Wi-Fi, a seminar hall, centralised air-conditioners, and classrooms with digital boards. Every hostel has free Wi-Fi, a television room, a kitchen room to cook, machines, and snacks for late-night cravings.
Faculty: Faculty members are very helpful and highly qualified. The course curriculum is updated and very relevant. The exam difficulty depends on the professors' teaching. Sometimes, it is like only taking assignments. We have mid-semester and end-semester exams.
Other: As I am enthusiastic, I chose this course. A lot of events and fests are conducted throughout the year.

Less Interaction with college but very good for those who have passion in data Science field.
Placements: Placement data is not yet released by the college official. Also, in this year, May and June, most of the companies will visit campus, and this year 2024 will be the first time when students are getting placed. We can assume an average of 3 LPA and a maximum package can be of 6-7 LPA.
Infrastructure: I am going to give an average of 3 stars because we have to study online and hostel facilities are not available to us. Although once a year, a fest happens in which all the students can meet and enjoy. Hostel facilities are available for some selected students at the third year or B.Sc. level.
Faculty: About the semester exams, in this course, there is no semester type thing. Instead, we follow the term system (4 months). There are 3 terms in a year, and about the 'term end exams', some of the subjects are very difficult to pass for some of the students. Also, if you can't pass a subject, you have to repeat the entire subject in the next term; there is no system like 'back exams' like other colleges.

Review of IIT Madras - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: College helps with internships and placements. Almost 100% placements are offered. Current year, almost 95% of students are placed. But the core branch has low placements. We need more placement opportunities, such as an industry internship, etc. So we can get a better experience. The placement department is active all year for domestic and international companies. Basically, the placement department attracts big companies for visiting IITM.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good but Wi-Fi is slow. The college hostel is well connected with Wi-Fi. A wonderful class with well-furnished infrastructure. We have a gym room and boys and girls' common room in the college hostel. The difference between girls and boys is that boys hostels and girls hostels are separated by almost 1 kilometer. Hostel mess is different for north-state and south students because food types are different.
Faculty: Very experienced faculty. Almost all teachers have done Ph.D.s from abroad. And college staff is very good. They help us anytime we need, guide us and encourage us in academic fields, and guide us to a successive future. Exams are very tough because this is India's number one engineering college. Assignments are taken every week. But all students are hard workers, so all students passed .
Other: College connectivity is good.

College culture is superb.
Placements: Around 80% of students in my batch have been placed, with placements still ongoing. The highest package was INR 40 LPA, the lowest package was INR 8 LPA, and the average package was INR 14 LPA. Airbus was the top recruiting company last year. About 20% of students got internships at Airbus, working as front-end developers.
Infrastructure: IIT Madras offers excellent facilities, including Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, library, hostels, rooms, mess, food, culture, surroundings, security, and more. The hostel rooms are very hygienic, and the mess food is also very good. All other facilities are top-notch.
Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified and extremely helpful. They do make students industry-ready by teaching many practical aspects of the course. The course is more difficult compared to other branches, with a stronger focus on physics. The passing criteria is 49%.
Other: I chose this course because I had a keen interest in it. Some areas could be taught more practically, but overall, everything is superb, including the campus and crowd.

Online degree at IIT Madras.
Placements: The placement being provided by the online degree team is not what you will expect from IIT madras. The placement are equivalent to any tier 3 engineering college. The placements clearly define that the companies do not treat the online degree as usual IIT Madras degree.
Infrastructure: Since it is an online degree the infrastructure of hostel doesn't make any sense in this case. Apart from that the courses infrastructure if talking about the online infrastructure of the team, then it is quite good but is somewhat similar to the internet infra in our country, poor sometimes.
Faculty: The teachers are not only limited to the IIT Madras as well as the teachers are form other well known IIT also. All the teachers are highly qualified teachers as expected from IIT. Some of the teachers explain the concept smoothly whereas some use the old ways of teaching but they don't lag behind in knowledge.
