Overall, best college for MS in electrical engineering course.
Placements: About 73% of the students from our course got placed. The highest salary offered was 24 LPA, and the lowest salary offered was 7 LPA. Top recruiting companies were Qualcomm, Emerson, Aerotek, etc. Approximately 65% of students from our study received internship opportunities. Top roles offered to students were R&D engineer, power engineer, and so on.
Infrastructure: In our college, classrooms were very primitive but labs had all the latest equipment for students from IIT to do their research. The quality of mess food varies greatly depending on where you come from. North Indians find it difficult to change their diet. Hostel furniture was quite outdated. Washing machines were exceptional, and western toilets were never expected.
Faculty: Some travels were extremely difficult, and it takes an once to get through. You will meet professional teachers on campus. The courses were continually relevant to current industry trends. The only constraints were the number of options available to us based on our mental abilities. The semester tests were more difficult, with a pass rate of approximately 56%.

Review of IIT Madras - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: In our college, only 50% of students got placed. Many students were interested in government jobs. Top recruiting companies like HP, Tata Electrics, Portronics, Boat, etc., visited our campus. The highest salary package offered was 1 crore per annum and the lowest salary package offered was 7 LPA.
Infrastructure: Our college provided excellent infrastructure. Labs were excellent. The quality of food in the hostel was good. A park was available. There were multiple sports complexes available.
Faculty: Our teachers were experienced. If you approach them, they never make fun of you. Indeed, they would help you achieve your target. Semester exams were difficult. The course made students industry-ready. Companies asked professors to do projects for them.
Other: The campus was excellent. Our college organised a fest in the previous year. Kajhgy Mam and Khalifa Mam visited the campus and spent their night with us. Rajnikanth visited the campus twice.
