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.

Very beautiful and calm, has very good faculty, and has all you need,
Placements: Most of the people get placed, but the number of people getting placed through core jobs is very low, people lose interest over time and choose non-core jobs, and many do get internships in pretty decent companies, the average was around 17-18 Lacs.
Infrastructure: Facilities are top-notch. The hostels could be improved but value for money, the facilities of all the grounds are good and well maintained, has a lot apart from academics, the library is big and has a lot of things, Wi-Fi has some problems now and then but in general it is good enough, quality of food depends on the mess we choose.
Faculty: Most of the teachers are great, highly qualified, and a good place to learn, mostly friendly but few are too strict, the curriculum of the course is good but as always this could be improved, sem exams are tough and competitive, most of the paper has only problems, mostly no descriptive questions.
Other: Campus life would be great, clubs would help you find your interest, and the campus is undoubtedly beautiful. Fests and events are more than enough that you can't attend all.

I'm dissatisfied with the aerospace, but it has good campus life, challenges, and lessons for life.
Placements: According to the survey conducted, placements for graduates of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras are average, with the salary package offered was 18 LPA. However, based on my observation and experience as a student here, there were zero core placements for Aerospace graduates last year.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our department is horrible with some ceilings falling off. The freshers' hostel is no less than a 5-star hotel, with all the facilities in it. Mess food is also nice, offering a wide variety of cuisines, with separate messes for North and South Indian menus. Wi-Fi is strong, and the libraries are very good, providing a great study environment.
Faculty: Some faculty members are good, while others are not as effective. Course curriculum is well-organized and student-friendly, with manageable pressure and minimal uneasiness. Faculty can be inconsistent, sometimes, they are good, and at other times, it may be difficult to keep up with them. Difficulty level increases with each semester, making it more challenging.

Our college has an excellent research focus, great campus life, and decent infrastructure.
Placements: In my batch, about 78% of the registered candidates got placed. The average package was 16.08 LPA and the median was 17.5LPA. One of my friends got the highest package in our batch in a Dubai-based start-up company with a package of about 60 LPA. The roles offered vary on the career path chosen by aerospace engineers, those who chose core jobs were offered roles like structural analyst, and design while others who have taken up jobs in the data science and software-developed sectors, roles include machines learning engineer and data analyst. Some candidates also secured PPOs as product managers.
Infrastructure: In our department, classrooms are decent and not on par with other departments and modern standards. Most of the academic buildings are Wi-Fi enabled. For first-year common courses and a few interdisciplinary courses, there are state-of-the-art lecture halls. There are North Indian and South Indian messes both further separate as veg/non-veg. A biweekly fixed menu is followed, and the food is average to good depending on the day. There are also 2 food courts in the academic zone and hostel zone, and a restaurant called zaitoon in the hostel zone. The restaurant is affordable and serves good food.
Faculty: All professors in our department are PhDs. While some are good at teaching, most of them are decent at best but they are backed by good research experience. The quality of the teaching is unfortunately also affected by the outdated courses which doesn't make the aerospace curriculum industry relevant. Students will have to do research under professors and publish papers to be eligible for good post-graduate opportunities. Coming to the exams, following what is taught in the class is usually sufficient. The difficulty of the exams can be considered between average-tough. There is no pass percentage, depending on the professor.
Other: I chose this course because I was interested in physics. The course contains a lot of engineering problems where physics is extensively used. The best thing about this course is that it is also mathematically demanding and will be useful in learning CS courses if one chooses to. I wish the course had more emphasis on the industry requirements such as drone designing, UAVs, and clubbing recent developments like AI and ML to make the learning more practical. The campus is beautiful, we have wildlife living alongside us, bringing us closer to nature.

Review of IIT Madras - Indian Institute of Technology.
Placements: About 50-60% of students get placements in many companies. 150-180 companies visit the college for placements. The highest package offered in 2024 is 4.3 LPA by a Japanese company. The average package is 18 LPA regardless of branch. The lowest package is 6 LPA. For my course, the top recruiting companies are Tata and Momentive. Many students got internships this year along with me in companies like ITC, Jaguar, and BCG. Top roles offered are software, data analysis, and finance roles.
Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi overall on campus and in hostels too. We have a library where we get every book for the courses we do. Comics and storybooks are also available. We have centralised AC classrooms for some departments. We have a hospital inside our campus, and it is guided by professional doctors. We have a North and South mess where we get veg and non-veg foods separately. We have a sports complex and many grounds for different sports. We have grounds and many indoor sports in our hostels.
Faculty: Teachers are very friendly with students. They even give us their hands-on working projects for the sake of students, which is very useful in internship and placement times. In the course curriculum, we have hands-on experience in everything we do, projects we do on it, and presentations. We have 2 quizzes and 1 end-semester basic. Sometimes, it depends on the professors. The pass percentage is 35%.
Other: I chose this college as per the NIRF ranking and the best course I got here is mechanical engineering. We have many labs where we see things and how they work. We also have workshops. There is everything that makes us improve in each part of the course. We have a cultural fest named Saarang and a technical fest named Shaastra, which I am a part of.
