Absolutely beautiful campus with wildlife.
Placements: Internship is mostly based on software companies; not many core companies come even for core courses. Applying for out-of-campus placements is recommended. Better to have other options in hand. Roles in software companies would generally be developers. And engineering roles are fewer.
Infrastructure: Courses in my branch are difficult; others are pretty okay. Infrastructure depends on the branch you are in. Aerospace has a very mediocre infrastructure. Coming to the hostel, it is okay. I can't describe it as good exactly. Food is edible, extra in the mess would be good, food courts have good food. Medical facilities are good, and they have good sports facilities.
Faculty: Teachers mostly say you are independent; they don't force you to study, you have to study on your own; they will be there to explain the contents, that's all. Sometimes, the explanations aren't so well-structured either. Your grades are completely based on how you study and spend time on the subject (and also on the mood of the paper corrector). The courses are structured well; they give you good insights. The difficulty of the course is pretty high, as well as the exams. The pass percentage is pretty decent.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to be an astronaut since my childhood, but coming here, I realized that what I want and what the course is about are completely different. I highly recommend people look deeply into what they're getting into so that they won't regret it later. But the coursework is pretty engaging; if you like Physics and Maths, you'd love the content.

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.

Our college provides good placements and great infrastructure.
Placements: Around 80% of students get placed in our college. The highest salary package offered is 60 LPA, the lowest salary package is 10 LPA, and the average salary package is 20 LPA to 25 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Groww, Ola, Google, Microsoft, etc. Around 20% of students got internships in our course at Brain and company, Namura, BCG, etc. Top roles offered are software developer, data analyst, HR, finance advisory, etc.
Infrastructure: All the facilities available in our college are great. Wi-Fi works well. Labs and classrooms are very good. Library is a good attraction. Sports and medical facilities are great but the food is not up to the mark. IITM hospital provides good care for patients and free medication for our college students.
Faculty: Teachers in our college are very helpful. The teaching quality is very good. The course curriculum is relevant to the world but there are not many job opportunities. Semester exams are difficult. Students need to be attentive in class. The pass percentage is 98%.

It is the best college for studying. It is in the top 3 colleges in India, considering all aspects.
Placements: Approximately 85% of students in our branch got placed through the institute. The highest salary package offered was 30 LPA, the lowest was 5 LPA, and the average was 6.5 LPA. Top recruiters are HUL, ISRO, DRDO, and other aviation companies. Around 70% of students got internships from HUL and DRDO. Top roles offered in our course are aerospace technician, cad technician, design engineer, maintenance engineer, etc.
Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are excellent, updated from time to time according to the requirements of students. Labs are equipped with high-level facilities. Wi-Fi is good throughout the institute. For the quality of hostels, I would rate 2.5 out of 5 due to their lack of cleanliness. Food is good for every student. They provide all varieties, like north Indian and south Indian food items. We have good medical facilities. For sports, I would rate 4.5 out of 5 because our college gives the utmost importance to sports, keeping in mind the fitness of students.
Faculty: Faculty members in our college have acquired vast and correct knowledge in their fields from international colleges. IIT Madras is the top college in the research field. It's tough to study the subjects, so we have to study through the internet. The course curriculum is good for making students industry-ready. The difficulty level of semester exams is high, and the pass percentage is around 70%.
Other: I have chosen this course due to the opportunities available at our college after contacting our seniors. The best thing about our course is that most of the subjects are taught practically, which makes us more interested in the course. There should be a new building for our aerospace department. Events and fests are great. They are ISO certified.

With just JEE, you can't get admission in IITs. You have to appear for JEE advanced and then based on your performance, you'll get admission in IIT Madras. JEE main is for NITs. To get admission in IITs, you must appear for JEE Advanced.

Hello Preeti, I am afraid, what you are seeking is just not feasible. For getting admission in any IIT, one has to appear for and get good rank in JEE Mains and JEE advanced. It's the rank in later that will decide your chances of admission. Best wishes to you.
