Review of facilities and life at IIT Madras.

Placements: My batch has 154 students, which makes it the second-largest branch on the campus. The highest package offered is 1.31 crores per annum. The top recruiting companies for our course are Google, Microsoft, etc. A lot of other renowned companies around the world also visit the college. The top roles offered are software development engineer, validation engineer, IC design, etc.

Infrastructure: The department building is very spacious with a lot of classrooms and labs. The building is a bit old, so the renovation is being made now. The hostel infrastructure is nice, but there is a bit of a problem with monkeys in one or two of them. The mess food is of nice quality. Food courts are available throughout the day.

Faculty: Faculty members are the best here. Most of them are a part of research teams or carry on their own research. The course curriculum is mostly relevant to what we see in the industries now. Semester exams are manageable. They are neither hard nor easy.

M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2025

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall best college for M.A. In Economics Course.

Placements: Placements are excellent for our department. Students of finance are assigned to companies related to finance. The typical salary varies between approximately 15-25 LPA. PSUs visit our college for hiring purposes as well. The top packages reach as much as 3 LPA. Approximately 71-76% of students secure placements annually. 59% of learners obtained internships.

Infrastructure: The college is located in the northeast, and connectivity to the rest of India is limited. Thus, there were few female students on campus. Hotels were good. Each student is given an individual furnished room. Each hotel has a mess area, restaurant, and TV room. The food is awesome. It will take some time to adjust the menu for other public school students.

Faculty: Teachers in my department are good. They help others. Most of them give good grades compared to teachers in other departments. Many of us from our branch pursue activities such as software or non-teaching activities. Having this branch gives them enough time to prepare, as the classes are not so busy. Semester exams are easy. Almost everyone passes, but there are exceptions everywhere.

B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2027

3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Absolutely beautiful campus with wildlife.

Placements: Internship is mostly based on software companies; not many core companies come even for core courses. Applying for out-of-campus placements is recommended. Better to have other options in hand. Roles in software companies would generally be developers. And engineering roles are fewer.

Infrastructure: Courses in my branch are difficult; others are pretty okay. Infrastructure depends on the branch you are in. Aerospace has a very mediocre infrastructure. Coming to the hostel, it is okay. I can't describe it as good exactly. Food is edible, extra in the mess would be good, food courts have good food. Medical facilities are good, and they have good sports facilities.

Faculty: Teachers mostly say you are independent; they don't force you to study, you have to study on your own; they will be there to explain the contents, that's all. Sometimes, the explanations aren't so well-structured either. Your grades are completely based on how you study and spend time on the subject (and also on the mood of the paper corrector). The courses are structured well; they give you good insights. The difficulty of the course is pretty high, as well as the exams. The pass percentage is pretty decent.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to be an astronaut since my childhood, but coming here, I realized that what I want and what the course is about are completely different. I highly recommend people look deeply into what they're getting into so that they won't regret it later. But the coursework is pretty engaging; if you like Physics and Maths, you'd love the content.
