4.4

5Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

One of the best colleges to pursue an MBA has great faculty and multiple placement opportunities.

Placements: In our batch, around 60% of the students get placed at the dorms in Madras. The college has a well-developed placements cell that conducts various placement drives for the on-campus placements of the students. Many companies, such as IBM, TCS, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, etc., offer on-campus placements.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure available for the MBA course at this college was very good. The college has a big campus with all kinds of modern facilities, which enhances students learning. The entire campus has Wi-Fi connectivity, which can be assessed by the college teachers and students. The canteen, labs, library, hostel, sports and other necessary facilities were also available for the students.

Faculty: The faculty of the Dorms Madras was highly qualified and knowledgeable. All the teaching staff available in the MBA course were supportive and helpful to the students. The course curriculum followed for the MBA at this college was relevant, which makes students industry-ready. Various industry visits and research programs are organized by the teachers for the students development. Exams were also not very easy to pass in the MBA course at the college.

M.Sc. in Chemistry - Batch of 2021

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

College hostel has vibes like home.

Placements: Okay, honestly, our department isn't interested in placements as much as it is in doing research. But as I was the head volunteer for the 2020 placement session, I observed that almost all Engineering students got jobs. The placement percentage is around 85-90%. Regarding internships, if you have applied abroad to any company through the Training and Placement Office, you will get it with the essential qualifications and skills. The institute also frequently shares emails about internship opportunities, which are mostly research-based.

Infrastructure: The hostel facility is really amazing. Students get to stay in Mandakini Hotel, which is the newest 10-floor building with all facilities and amenities. It has automatic washing machines, amazing washrooms, good rooms, windows, fans, desks, chairs, almirahs, and everything. The food at IIT Madras is good; we have veg, non-veg, and north-south options, and the menu changes every 14 days. We can also switch the mess every month.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is good, and I believe the faculty is more focused on operations. This course is suitable for people with a teaching or strong engineering background. The faculty’s credentials and approach to teaching and mentorship are amazing. They are very friendly and approachable, and their academic excellence is demonstrated by the number of papers they have written, awards they have won, and their vast industry experience.

Other: The annual cultural fest at IIT Madras has been amazing, especially Dom's, which also has a separate fest of its own. The library is excellent, and the technological provisions within the classrooms are really good. We have smart classes with PowerPoint presentations, big screens, and smart touch displays. Sports and extracurricular activity opportunities are great. We do have less time for them, but still, it is good. Student-run groups, clubs, and portals are exceptionally well managed.

Online B.Sc. in Data Science and Applications - Batch of 2027

2Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Less Interaction with college but very good for those who have passion in data Science field.

Placements: Placement data is not yet released by the college official. Also, in this year, May and June, most of the companies will visit campus, and this year 2024 will be the first time when students are getting placed. We can assume an average of 3 LPA and a maximum package can be of 6-7 LPA.

Infrastructure: I am going to give an average of 3 stars because we have to study online and hostel facilities are not available to us. Although once a year, a fest happens in which all the students can meet and enjoy. Hostel facilities are available for some selected students at the third year or B.Sc. level.

Faculty: About the semester exams, in this course, there is no semester type thing. Instead, we follow the term system (4 months). There are 3 terms in a year, and about the 'term end exams', some of the subjects are very difficult to pass for some of the students. Also, if you can't pass a subject, you have to repeat the entire subject in the next term; there is no system like 'back exams' like other colleges.

Campus at a glimpse, IIT madras NIRF 1, skills and innovation.

Placements: As per last year, it was 1.31 CPA, the highest package in some research fields, and the average package is around 15 LPA. Key recruiters include many major companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Deloitte. Actually, there was a 19% increase last year in the number of students who got internships. The recruiting companies are Texas Instruments, JP Morgan Chase, Adobe, and Procter & Gamble.

Infrastructure: As for freshmen boys, they will allocate the hostel Mandakini, and for freshmen girls, Swaranmukhi, which is the best hostel on the entire campus, has wonderful infrastructure. There are many department classrooms. But as for the first year, we'll be having new teaching classrooms, which is also very good. There are many labs for each and every department. There are many grounds for every sport and game. In fact, we'll be having indoor shuttle courts in the hostels. The food covers every menu, based on our food habits in the north and south, vegetarian and non-vegetarian. And we have an institute hospital nearby where they'll do a checkup at no cost.

Faculty: All the teachers are knowledgeable and qualified. All of them have there Masters in at least one of their specializations. They are very active with students, and they are good at clarifying doubts. All the things they teach make us feel interested in learning the subject. Ssemster exams will be relevant to what they taught in class. And the pass percentage is around 4 gpa in each subject. But as for placements and all, you should maintain a 7.5 on average before last semester .

The Institute has sixteen academic departments and a few advanced research centres in various disciplines of engineering and pure sciences, with nearly 100 laboratories organized in a unique pattern. IIT Madras also carries out several social impact programs to foster inclusive growth.

Faculty: The faculty is very experienced. They teach us with great enthusiasm. As it is an online course, there is no faculty-to-student ratio. Live sessions are organized almost every day to clear our doubts by teachers and teaching assistants.

Other: I chose this course because Data Science is one of the most important and upcoming booming fields.
