Shaastra 2022 Students Technical Festival to Showcase a Virtual Re-Creation of IIT Madras in Mars
January 11, 2022: IIT Madras students are creating a virtual, future portrayal of the IIT Madras campus, complete with 3D navigation to allow visitors to explore the platform. This innovative idea is part of Shaastra's 22nd edition, India's largest annual student-run technical festival.
Between the 13th and 16th of January 2022, this edition will be held entirely online. Many of the programmes are open to the public and are free to attend. This year, over 50 activities will be held, with a total of 30,000 participants, a significant increase from the previous year's 20,000 people.
The Covid-19 epidemic has shifted humanity's course, and Shaastra 2022's theme, 'Code to Chaos,' strives to illuminate the new world defined by increasing digitalisation.

The Covid-19 epidemic has shifted humanity's course, and Shaastra 2022's theme, 'Code to Chaos,' strives to illuminate the new world defined by increasing digitalisation.
Shaastra 2022 is scheduled to take place in a virtual re-creation of IIT Madras set in a futuristic Martian terrain in order to achieve this. A 'virtual Hyperloop' has been deployed to provide consumers with a futuristic experience while 'virtually traveling' between various Shaastra sites. The Mars dome will serve as a platform for lectures, events, and exhibition booths, as well as interactive games to enhance the experience.
Every year, the Shaastra Summit hosts a virtual conference on a different topic. The theme for this year is Gaming and Gaming Technology. The conference's purpose is to foster networking among gaming enthusiasts, students, and professionals so that they can learn from one another. The event, which will take place from the 14th to the 16th of January 2022, will comprise lectures and panel discussions with speakers from over five countries.
This year's Shaastra contains competitions in a wide range of subjects, including aeronautics, biotechnology, engineering design, and business, as well as law, computation, electronics, and quizzes. The goal is to give a forum for young minds to define and solve problems at the industrial level.

Placements: This course is good, offering opportunities to shift to software roles as well as core fields. The average package offered is 10 LPA. Nearly 75% of students are placed, although the percentage might be higher. Maintaining a good CGPA ensures better placement opportunities.
Placements: 70-80% get placed, and others go for higher studies. A few opt for a dual degree in data science, which also usually gets placed. This year the highest was 66 LPA, the lowest was around 14 LPA, and the average has risen to 28 LPA. Core recruiters are like Vedanta, Tata Steel, JSW, and Applied Materials, but the above placement states stand for tech companies in which metallurgy students got placed. 20%, as during internship, the company has a choice and not compulsion.

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.
Placements: In our batch, 51 students got placed and 2 of them secured seats through spot admission. The average salary package offered ranges from 8 LPA - 10 LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 5 LPA. In our course, we can mostly apply for ed-tech companies. We also have the option for research internships, while other internships depend entirely on students, requiring dedicated effort. Top roles include data analyst, computing, and PhD scholar.
Placements: Nearly 70% of the students are placed. The highest package was 1.31 CpA. The average package offered is nearly 20 LPA. Bajaj Electronics, Samsung are some of the top recruiting companies. There is no actual data on how many students get internships, as mostly every student does internships after some time in their college period. Electrical design engineer, power systems engineer are the top roles offered.
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.
