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.

Life at IITM is like your dream college life.
Placements: Total 92% of the students in our department got placed in the last year. Top recruiting companies for our department are ITC, RIL, HUL, Nestle, and P&G. Top roles offered in this course are FMCG, energy and fuels, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. The highest package offered is 36 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 11.5 LPA. The average package offered is 18 LPA. 55% of the students got placed in internships last year.
Infrastructure: Institute Wi-Fi is present in all public places. Labs and classrooms are very well maintained and mostly air-conditioned. Library is open from 8:00 AM to 11:30 PM, and it is air-conditioned too. Hostel facilities are moderate, and we come to the hostel mostly for sleeping. We stay in the library most of the time. The quality of food available is also moderate. The institute hospital is very good, like a multi-specialty hospital. All types of sports are played here like cricket, football, badminton, chess, etc.
Faculty: All teachers are very helpful and friendly. All teachers are qualified and knowledgeable too but everyone has a different teaching style. The course curriculum is mostly relevant. Some topics are not that much relevant but they may be relevant in the future according to the interests of each student. The students become industry-ready. Semester exams are moderately difficult. Pass percentage is above 95%.
Other: Chemical Engineering is an interdisciplinary subject with its application in every other field. The best things about this course are that you can apply for both core profile and non-core profile simultaneously with the same efficiency. Technical fest Shaastra and cultural fest Saarang are held in January, when the institute is filled with joy and happiness.

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.
