B.Tech. in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering - Batch of 2025

4Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Great infrastructure, crowd, and pros.

Placements: A lot of students are interested in core to go for higher studies to learn and work in their desired area. For MME, the placement percentage including core and non-core is 70% out of the registered students. For the MME B.Tech department, the highest salary package offered is 24 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 8 LPA. Firms are Jaguar, Tata Steel, Arthur D Little, ICICI Bank, KPMG, Delloite, Air India, Accenture, Zomato, and many more. Approximately 50% of students got internships. The top roles offered are SDE, analyst, and graduate engineer trainee.

Infrastructure: IIT Madras has great infrastructure. The new academic buildings give you a foreign university feel. All rooms are air-conditioned. Recently, 3 new buildings are added and for some buildings, the construction is still going on. The hostel facilities are also fine. Some hostels are newly built and the majority are renovated but they give you hostel vibes rather than 10 floors hostel. Each hostel has a gym, pool, and area to play cricket and football. It has OAT and SAC. Roads are amazing. It has all grounds for sports to play football, hockey, basketball, and badminton.

Faculty: Professors are very passionate and have been in foreign universities for Ph.D.s and research work. Some professors help students a lot for their professional growth and mental well-being. The course curriculum is going to change for the 2028 batch to make students industry-ready. The difficulty of the semester depends on the courses and professors. In a semester, you may have some difficult courses where you have to attend compulsory and some are very hill. The pass percentage falls around 85-95% for a tough course and generally 100% for easy courses.

Other: Just because of the brand name I chose IIT Madras and because of some big name who did MME in their graduation. The best things are choosing electives for core subjects, taking courses as an alternative for projects, and opportunities for higher studies. The campus is very well-connected and easy to reach. The campus crowd and surroundings are amazing and push you to do something great in the future. There are so many opportunities to pursue extracurricular activities through clubs and sports. The institute provides scholarship support through the government and alumni.

Exploring excellence: Academic and innovation frontiers of IIT Madras.

Placements: In 2023-24, there were 445 offers and 407 PPOs including 15 international offers. Out of these, 25 offers were provided with a salary package of more than 1 crore per annum. More than 480 companies like Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Texas Instruments, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung, Morgan Stanley, etc., visited the IIT Madras for placements. The average salary package offered is 22.31 LPA. About 778 internship offers are provided. Almost 90% of students got placed in our course and the remaining went to pursue higher studies and civil services. The salary packages offered range from 9-85 LPA. The top roles offered are SDE, IC design engineer, RF engineer, embedded programmer, etc.

Infrastructure: IIT M has 16 male hostels and 6 female hostels. Each hostel has a 24-hour hot water supply both for drinking and bathing. Each hostel is equipped with many sports facilities like badminton courts, table tennis, etc. For freshers, it has a triple-sharing room, and from the 2nd year onwards, it has double or single rooms. Air-conditioner facility is not provided. Each room has a high-speed LAN port. Classrooms have high-speed Wi-Fi and air-conditioners. EE department has a lot of research labs too.

Faculty: The student-to-faculty ratio is 1:10. The EE department has the highest number of faculty members in the institute and the most funded for research and innovation. Almost all professors in EE, have done their master's or PhD from the USA. The course curriculum is revised periodically, but even though there is a gap between academics and industry. Exams are tough and there is very high competition among students to get good grades.

Other: I have a great passion for the evolving field of the semiconductor industry. The freedom offered to students is comparable to other colleges. There is no entry or exit time for the hostel and for campus. Food courts and canteen are open almost 24x7. Every event, innovation club, placement, and campus welfare club is coordinated by a dedicated group of students who inculcate leadership skills.

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.

IIT Madras is the best institute for researchers.

Placements: Very few people are not placed. Most of them get placed. There is a large alumni network at this institution. This year the highest salary package offered is 4.5 crore by institution. If students are well prepared for interviews definitely they get placed in a company with good packages.

Infrastructure: Hostels have LAN facilities but do not institute Wi-Fi. Everywhere except hostels have institute Wi-Fi. Best quality of food is provided by messes. There is one stadium named Watsa for those who are interested in sports. Some indoor games are available to students in hostels.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and qualified. IIT Madras curriculum is best. It makes students ready for industry. Semester exams are very easy if we just understand and analyse courses of that particular semester. There are some pass or fail courses.

Other: Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras has both electrical and electronic communications.

B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2027

2Placements1Infrastructure2Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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.
