Life at IITM was lit from 2022 - 2026.
Placements: From my seniors batch, about 70% of students got placed. Rest of them went through higher studies. The highest package is 2 crore for Quant Firms. The lowest is 6 LPA as our college placement cell doesn't allow companies offering less than 6 LPA. Median would be 18 LPA - 20 LPA. Top roles offered in software, finance, consulting, FMCG management, and product management.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in every hostel. Labs are up to date in equipments and technology. Classrooms are okay, some are without ACs so it gets hot. Mess food is okay in quality. Sports facilities are abundant, and you can play your favourite sport. There is a hospital on campus which is sufficient for mild diseases.
Faculty: All teachers have PhDs and are respected in their fields. My course is very relevant to chemical engineering industry. You can also take up research projects with the professor to learn more. Semester exams are okay in difficulty, not too hard or easy either.
Other: Chemical engineering is a literally course that allows you to explore beyond academics, especially extracurriculars. Fests are lit, of course. Both the technical and cultural fests are attended by thousands, and other college students attend too.

Excellent placements, good infrastructure, decent faculty and best campus life.
Placements: Placements for the 2024-25 year are ongoing at IIT Madras, and the highest package offered so far is 4.3 crore INR. In 2023-24, 1612 students received offers from around 480 companies. The highest package was 1.31 crore INR, and the lowest was 5.4 LPA. Top recruiters included Apple, Google, Bajaj, Qualcomm, JP Morgan, and Texas Instruments. Top roles offered were software development engineer, data scientist, quant, and core engineer.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure are good. Labs have the necessary equipment, although some require replacement. Wi-Fi connectivity is good, especially in the library. Classrooms are nice, and many have AC installed. The library is excellent and well-stocked. The first-year hostel is very good, but the hostels for subsequent years are not as impressive. Hostels have amenities like washing machines, TV rooms, and water coolers. There are various mess options with good food quality. The on-campus hospital is excellent, and most medicines are provided free to students. Sports facilities are very good, with many options available.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable but their teaching quality could be better. Classes can be boring, and sometimes the material is difficult to understand, requiring independent study. Semester exams are not very tough and are easy to pass with sufficient preparation. As a first-year student, I cannot comment on the curriculum's relevance.
Other: I chose IIT Madras because it is the top-ranked institute according to NIRF and provides many opportunities and experiences beneficial for my career. Numerous events occur throughout the year, allowing students to explore different fields. The campus crowd is excellent, with many multi-talented individuals. Campus connectivity is good, and there are no issues with commuting. The institute offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and scholarships for students.

Top roles offered are that of Design Trainee, Graduate Engineer Trainee, Cell and battery innovation center (R&D), Management Trainee etc.
Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi in all the academic buildings. Most of the classrooms have ACs, except a few. There are lab equipments and machines that can be used for research. Students have to set up outer or LAN connections in order to access Wi-Fi. Medical and sports facilities are outstanding.
Faculty: Professors are really helpful, knowledge and qualified. Most of them have a defined structure for the course which includes assignments etc. to get a feel of the course. The course curriculum is relevant. If you attend the classes properly, it's easy to get a decent grade.
