What is the best advice to give first year juniors at the Madras Institute of Technology?
My relative used to be a student of Madras Institute of Technology so she will be the best person who I think will be able to answer this question.
- Try to track your T-senior as soon as possible as they can help in a lot of ways.
- Try to be an active member in as many student clubs as possible. Madras Institute of Technology has eight departments and more than twelve student clubs.
- Make sure you do not return to your hostel as soon as your classes get over. Get into a room of LHC where there would be some activities going on. Try to attend all of them.
- Try not to take your classes lightly. It is a very difficult college to get into and even some of the most diligent students do not end up getting admitted.
- Madras Institute of Technology has also seen 6 pointers end up getting placed and 10 pointers applying for TCS. Like all colleges, CGPA is very important for progress.
Aptitude and coding tests can also go a long way no matter what department you may be in. Attending robotics classes and gliding contests can also be very influential. In addition to that, you can also learn basics about the development of mobile apps, the creation of websites, etc.
You can also get involved in activities like Rotaract, Youth Red Cross, Computer Science Association, or any other association and learn to organize big events.
How do I get admission into the B.Tech program at Madras Institute of Technology?
My senior from school who used to be a student of Madras Institute of Technology told me that he got admission through the Other state Quota. There are other quotas as well. For example:
- TNEA: Only those students who have completed their 10 (+20) Tamil Nadu can apply through this entry.
- Other state Quota: Students who have proof of residence of other states and completed their 10 (+2) from some other state can make use of this quota for their admission.
- NRI & FN quota - For making use of this quota, candidates must have passed their 10 (+2). Passing from an English medium school or having proficiency in English is compulsory for candidates. They should have passed in all subjects and scored a minimum of 50% aggregate in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry put together in qualifying examinations.
- Industrial Quota: Parent(s) and/or guardian(s) should have an industry.
In addition to the above quotas, there are also government quotas, governor quotas, Vice-Chancellor quotas which are probably getting letters of recommendation from the governor, Vice-Chancellor, and other high-ranking officials in the government.
Which is better, mechanical engineering at SVCE or production engineering at Madras Institute of Technology?
The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has accredited the Institute with Grade 'A.' In the past, MIT has produced great scientists such as Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.
The Production Engineering Department at MIT has been accredited with A5 Grade for 5 simultaneous years. On the other hand, Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering is a private engineering college which is affiliated to Anna University. The college offers mainly engineering and technology degree programs.

How was your first day at Madras Institute of Technology?
One of my friends, being a student of Madras Institute of Technology (MIT), has briefed his experience on the first day. Since he completed his B.Tech in a part-time slot, his sessions would be conducted from about 6.15 P.M to 9.15 P.M.
His seniors were extremely helpful and friendly. He attended the ceremony held on the first day at Guindy Campus in the evening.
Recalling the words of a particular staff member, he says that he was partially afraid of the course. It was because the staff member panicked the students by mentioning the difficulty level of Mathematics and how students would not be able to clear the papers, after even attempting multiple times.
After a hard time, he also cleared some of the backlogs and is partly worried about not being able to celebrate on the graduation day since his due is delayed to the succeeding year.
How are the placements for mechanical in the Madras Institute of Technology?
Placement should not be the sole yardstick for judging an institute. You should consider other crucial factors like curriculum, faculty, department, research culture, infrastructure, etc.
However, if we talk about placement, at MIT, you will receive a handful of opportunities at core companies for technical job roles, many IT companies for both service-based and product-based, and a few other companies for managerial posts.
For placements, you will be competing with the entire batch as well as the students of CEG and ACT campuses. So, prepare accordingly. According to the recent placement highlights, the average CTC received by the students is 4 LPA.
Apart from the placements, the faculty base for the Mechanical Department is average at best. Also, as the department is quite new, lab facilities are limited and depend a lot on CEG.
What happens in the first day of orientation program in Madras Institute of Technology?
Usually, HODs of different departments and Dean of Madras Institute of Technology give speeches in the first day of the orientation program. You will get to know about the college and its history. During the afternoon session of the first day, you will be informed about the batches and classes that you will be attending in your first semester.
What is the ranking of Madras Institute of Technology in aerospace engineering in India?
The ranking of Madras Institute of Technology doesn't really matter because there is no scope for Aerospace Engineering in India. It may sound very good in the beginning but after joining this course you will face difficulties. It will create a negative viewpoint for this course and you will feel like dropping this course after 1 or 2 years.
The placements of this branch are also very poor due to less demand in the industry. Securing a job at Hindustan Aeronautics or ISRO will be a little difficult due to fewer openings. ISRO recruits most of the engineers from IISc, so you might have to wait for a few years to get a job there. You can also do MS abroad and then try getting a decent job over there.

Though this is one of the most difficult courses in engineering, still no one cares much about it and thus has very less demand too. It will be better if you can opt for any other branch rather than choosing Aerospace engineering.
Madras Institute of Technology: What is the craziest thing you did or experienced as a fresher?
At MIT you will find various "traditions" and "rituals" as a fresher. A friend of mine joined MIT in 2012 and fortunately, it was the year the institute had started imposing strict rules on ragging. Many being day scholars escaped such ragging incidents but it was not the same for his hosteller friends. They had to interact with the seniors one way or the other.
MIT oath-taking - One of the crazy traditions you will explore at MIT is its oath-taking - it's a beautifully framed poem full of artistic foul words. The freshers are expected to recite this poem to their seniors without making fun of it.
MIT salute - It is another tradition of saluting seniors with hands tucked in there.
This was the craziest thing my friend observed as a fresher student at MIT. But these things were also used as icebreakers between seniors and freshers. Well, apparently the rules and regulations at MIT are quite lenient now, juniors go in groups to give an introduction to seniors with the salute and oath.
Which provides better placement, Madras Institution of Technology or Hindustan University?
The Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the four campuses of the larger state university, Anna University, of the state of Tamil Nadu. The placement process for all these four colleges happens simultaneously in a combined process.
The placement data for MIT Chennai is given below along with the data of the Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science (HITS or Hindustan University) for the year 2018-19.

Parameters |
MIT, Chennai |
HITS (Hindustan University) |

78.75% |
|
No. of visiting companies |

77 |
|
Average CTC offered |
INR 4.5 LPA |
INR 4.9 LPA |
So undoubtedly, MIT is better than Hindustan University in all respects as well as placements. Anna University placements are even sometimes comparable to some leading NITs and IITs in some branches such as Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). So, you can obviously realize which is better for you in terms of placements.
