In terms of average package, AE branch students received the best average package of 31.4 LPA during PhD placements 2025. With respect to median package, CH and MA branch students received the highest median package of 25 LPA in 2025.

IIT Madras offers good placements to PhD students. The median package recorded during PhD placements 2025 for all branches was between 14.5 LPA and 25 LPA. The average package recorded was from 15 LPA to 31.4 LPA.

To be honest, it has changed drastically. Since the course has been discontinued under the NEP 2020, the degree is no longer valid in India or in many other countries. Though it is still valid in many countries for specific, specialised areas like Philosophy. 

I would suggest that you go for a PhD if you want a research-based degree, which is more relevant in the present.
