The department of mathematics is truly amazing.
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.
Infrastructure: We have access to everything available like medical facilities, travel services, a 24-hour library, a stadium, and a gym. Our college also provides department classrooms, free internet and Wi-Fibooks, airfilling for cycles, indoor games, and outdoor games. We also have mess, canteen, and restaurants.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, and most are involved in research. It is relevant and provides a strong research background. Exams are not too difficult but not very easy either and there are no direct questions. Pass percentage depends on class performance and marking scheme is relative.

Really good infrastructure here and facilities help a lot.
Placements: In our course, most students are inclined to do PhDs and research-related work, so many students don't sit for placements. But if you want to get a placement, there are opportunities available, but for that, you have to take appropriate elective subjects and study and compete with B.Tech/M.Tech students. I don't know much about that field, but if you want to take a placement in the teaching sector, then Allen, etc. came here. The highest package goes around 15 lakhs; the average is 7 lakhs, I think. Everyone can get placed here, but packages are too low, so I advise you not to have high hopes. You will get a placement, but not with a very good package. But for research, IITM is one of the best.
Infrastructure: The mathematics department is situated in one of the best buildings in IIT Madras. 500+ mbps Wi-Fi speed is available in the library, reading hall, hospital, department, etc. There is free healthcare available in the IITM hospital for students 24/7 with highly qualified doctors. 1 You don't have to worry regarding infrastructure and sports faculty members. There are lots of sports; everyone gets a chance here.  
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful in the mathematics department and very knowledgeable. This course helps you a lot for research purposes or higher studies, but if you are here for placement, don't worry, you can choose to switch to electrical engineering in the second year. Exam difficulty depends on the professor.

One of the best IITs for pure mathematics.
Placements: The students of Maths department are more inclined towards higher studies. So a less number of students participated in placement drive. Though a less number of students applied for job. Most of them are placed in edtech companies. The highest package is 12lakh per annum while the lowest package is 6lakh.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of classes and hostel is excellent. Classrooms are provided with the facilities of smart boards, projectors and ACs installed in the classes. The hostels are provided with Wi-Fi and mess facilities. There is no restriction on timings of hostel for boys but girls hostel has strict timings.
Faculty: The curriculum is designed by the top faculty members of department making the department one of the best department for pure Maths. All the faculty members are high qualified and experts in their subjects. The exams are difficult as straight forward questions from books are not asked in the exams.
Other: Life at IIT is a roller coaster ride. The fests in IIT are held at a grand level.
