Shaastra 2022 Students Technical Festival to Showcase a Virtual Re-Creation of IIT Madras in Mars

January 11, 2022: IIT Madras students are creating a virtual, future portrayal of the IIT Madras campus, complete with 3D navigation to allow visitors to explore the platform. This innovative idea is part of Shaastra's 22nd edition, India's largest annual student-run technical festival.

Between the 13th and 16th of January 2022, this edition will be held entirely online. Many of the programmes are open to the public and are free to attend. This year, over 50 activities will be held, with a total of 30,000 participants, a significant increase from the previous year's 20,000 people.

The Covid-19 epidemic has shifted humanity's course, and Shaastra 2022's theme, 'Code to Chaos,' strives to illuminate the new world defined by increasing digitalisation.

The Covid-19 epidemic has shifted humanity's course, and Shaastra 2022's theme, 'Code to Chaos,' strives to illuminate the new world defined by increasing digitalisation.

Shaastra 2022 is scheduled to take place in a virtual re-creation of IIT Madras set in a futuristic Martian terrain in order to achieve this. A 'virtual Hyperloop' has been deployed to provide consumers with a futuristic experience while 'virtually traveling' between various Shaastra sites. The Mars dome will serve as a platform for lectures, events, and exhibition booths, as well as interactive games to enhance the experience.

Every year, the Shaastra Summit hosts a virtual conference on a different topic. The theme for this year is Gaming and Gaming Technology. The conference's purpose is to foster networking among gaming enthusiasts, students, and professionals so that they can learn from one another. The event, which will take place from the 14th to the 16th of January 2022, will comprise lectures and panel discussions with speakers from over five countries.

This year's Shaastra contains competitions in a wide range of subjects, including aeronautics, biotechnology, engineering design, and business, as well as law, computation, electronics, and quizzes. The goal is to give a forum for young minds to define and solve problems at the industrial level.

BS Degree : Value for money , Pros and Cons

Learning Experience: The course content are provided by NPTEL. The teachers are IITian, very well qualified. The challenges which comes to the way is that, as it is an online degree. It sometimes get boring, so you have to take care of it.

Placements: You should not depend wholely on the campus placement. You need to search other places as well. Because as it is a new degree, there are fewer companies visiting. But I won't deny, students are getting placed from this degree in a very large amount.

I would like to summarise saying everything is valuable. It's really good.

Learning Experience: The course is really valuable for our career. Lectures are well described. They are really good and well designed.

Placements: I can't say it's the best as we lack some practical exposure, but I'm pretty sure in future it will shine.

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.

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 inclu...

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.

IIT Madras is the best institute for researchers.

Placements: Very few people are not placed. Most of them get placed. There is a large alumni network at this institution. This year the highest salary package offered is 4.5 crore by institution. If students are well prepared for interviews definitely they get placed in a company with good packages.
