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.

All your hardwork for IIT is worth it.

Placements: The placement in M.Sc Maths isn't very high. The course curriculum is focused on pure Maths. M.Sc. students are in high demand by coaching institutes for IIT JEE. All students who applied for placements are placed in coaching institutes with the highest package being 12 Lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: IIT Madras is one of the oldest IITs and hostel life there is amazing! You can roam around the campus at midnight and enjoy food at the canteen. The classrooms are fully AC with 24/ 7 Wi-Fi in the hostels. The mess food may not be excellent but they offer a variety and the menu is decided by the students. All sports grounds are available with coaches.

Faculty: The course curriculum is designed for students aiming for higher studies like a Ph.D. in Mathematics not primarily for placements. Students interested in placements can prepare for coding on their own, as companies are open to everyone.

Other: College life at IIT is incredible filled with sleepless nights, fests, and sports meets. It's a rollercoaster of emotions - you might be crying before an exam one day and dancing and having a blast the next. IIT prepares you for life, not just exams.

Most of them are placed in edtech companies. The highest package is 12lakh per annum while the lowest package is 6lakh.

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.
