BE in Aeronautical Engineering at Madras Institute of Technology is not a good option if you are genuinely interested in the subject. The points below give sufficient reasons supporting the cause.

• In Aeronautical Engineering at MIT, most of the faculties are not good in core concepts of Aerospace. Most of them have good concepts in Thermodynamics and Structures only.
• Almost no faculty in MIT teaches concepts in system integration or flying in general. There is no class to teach at least design a plane out of paper.
• The management of MIT doesn’t allot proper projects and doesn’t allow anyone to get associated with some good ongoing projects.
• Most of the students who come to MIT for an M.Tech or Ph.D. in Aeronautical Engineering are just interested in getting the degree. Very few are interested in doing some work in fields related to research.
• Students at MIT are not allowed to go for internships, even if they succeed in getting one at some recognized or even international institutes.
• The curriculum of Aeronautical Engineering is not at all properly designed, being developed without any proper introductory knowledge of mechanics. It forces the students to follow the teachers’ notes, preventing them from indulging in self-study, projects, and group activities.

The best choice for students interested in this subject is to go for mechanical engineering in some other college, maybe a one with a lower cut-off even. After that, he/she can opt for an M.S. or M.E. in Aerospace Engineering, having a strong base in mechanics from UG.

Well, It totally depends on the course that you take in the respective Universities. As far as MBA goes, Operations, Marketing, Systems, or any other stream of management that is related to Engineering are better off in College of Engineering, Guindy and HR, Marketing, and streams related to arts are at their best in the University of Madras.

Talking in terms of placements both colleges are equal. In terms of tuition fees, the College of Engineering, Guindy is quite cheap. Whereas you will get better exposure at Madras Institute of Technology.

Here is a brief outline of both colleges.

So, choose according to your convenience.

Madras Institute of Technology is one of the constituent colleges of the Anna University. It is considered one of the best engineering institutes in the state of Tamil Nadu apart from the central institutes like IIT Madras, NIT Trichy, CSIR-CECRI, etc.

But in recent years, the quality of students at the institute has decreased. While some of this can be attributed to the students themselves a lot of the blame also has to be levied on the institute itself for hiring sub-optimal faculty. The talented and motivated students need a push from the faculty which is quite low here due to which the research and startup scene here is virtually non-existent.

The one place where it truly shines is the role of students in the running of the administration. The various clubs, committees, hostels, etc. are student-run and due to the lower batch size, many of the students learn management at the college level itself which prepares them for the future ahead.

Many of the alumni of the institute are currently in top institutes like IITs, Oxford University, etc. and with the help of their previous experience and expertise, Madras Institute of Technology can become the glorious self of its past.

No, there is no option for changing course after joining Madras Institute of Technology.

• If you are not interested in your college then you can choose other activities in the college.
• The college has got various resources.
• You can utilize the library resources for learning and make good connections in the college for gaining knowledge, guidance, career advice, etc.
• You can also take part in various clubs and committees like Rotaract club, YRC, NSS, Vision Companions.
• You can also take part in the events conducted by Robotics Club, CS-MIT, Athenaeum groups.

These activities will add value to your resume in getting jobs and will develop your leadership and communication skills.
