Questions Asked On Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai

What is the best placement story at Madras Institute of Technology (MIT)?

SR

B.E from Madras Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

The best placement story would be that of my friend's brother and here's why - he is everything you can imagine. He has been a very multidimensional person with active participation in workshops and extracurriculars, he was the class representative and is a topper as well with a 9.2 CGPA.

The story goes somewhat like this -

  • In the middle of September, the placement count of the production department was 1/55. Only one student was placed with CitiCorp. Following this, Titan, Hyundai, and Caterpillar came for recruitment as well.
  • After five days of presentations, tests, GD, and interviews those who had applied for Caterpillar assembled at the CEG campus' CUIC auditorium, where students were given technical and aptitude tests to solve.
  • My friend's brother qualified up to GD but wasn't able to crack it. However, he wasn't disappointed and the next day took the Titan online test in the IT Department but the result got delayed and the company was not reachable.
  • Although to his surprise, Caterpillar again came for recruitment along with M&M and Vedanta. This was probably the last opportunity for all to get placed with a core company.
  • These time marks from the previous rounds were being considered by Caterpillar and he has reached up to GD. He became busy preparing for that even while traveling or eating and did make it to the personal interview.

He recollected all the basics of engineering and was ready with his resume points and by 6 pm he made it to the job with his perseverance. I hope this inspires you to make the best of your time.

Who are some of the best professors at Madras Institute of Technology (MIT)? And why?

NS
Navdeep Sindhu Posted On : April 29th, 2021
B.E., Instrumentation Engineering, Madras Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

My friend studied at MIT in 2013 and he says there are many reputable names from different departments like Prof. K Jeyaraman in the Aeronautical Engineering department, or Dr. PK Kanagasabapathy from the Instrumentation Engineering department, or Dr. A Rajadurai who was the former dean of MIT- he was an expert in Metallurgy and is one of the best professors owned by MIT. 

Nevertheless, because my friend has his personal favorites, I'd write about them here -

  • Late Prof. VK Narayanan was dedicated to his profession and his students. His room was next to the internet room on the admin floor. My friend used to converse with him on any topic necessary.
  • It was because of him that he discovered KB Chandrasekar, the same KBC of the AU KBC research centre where my friend is an employee now. He forsook TCS to join there.

There have been innumerable instances where my friend was guided and helped by prof KVN. 

  • One such incident is of the day when someone from the All India Radio came to him to introduce a new program to him on Information Technology. 
  • He had approached him to ask him for lectures on computers to be relayed on AIR, and Prof Mathiazhagan had already done the first episode; but Prof KVN calmly made him understand that he should give such opportunities to young students.
  • He pointed at my friend and highlighted his erudition on knowledge to do with the internet, which landed him with 20+ episodes.
  • Not only this, he once helped a student to apply to foreign universities and she landed in a good US university, one more student with his help in association with my friend got a job with Blackberry and now lives in San Francisco. 
  • Once my friend wanted to build a website for MIT and guess who provided all the support - Prof. KVN did. He learned HTML, found a domain name, and created official MIT emails for all the staff members.

He had been a professor, friend, and guide to my friend.

What is it like to study in MIT (Madras Institute of Technology)?

JD
Jamna Desai Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Studied at Madras Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

MIT has been one of the best experiences for my cousin’s sister. It is a place to learn, grow and develop fond memories. Following are some unique things about MIT -

  • India's 11th president and aerospace scientist Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam used to teach here at MIT and won the heart of each student.
  • The support of seniors is priceless. During your first year, you will be constantly guided and supported by your seniors and this will inculcate a sense of goodwill in you as well towards your juniors in return.
  • The faculty is extraordinary. Not all but those few who are, are so good at the subjects they teach and ways in which they offer support that you'd remember them all your life. One such honorable mention is Prof Jothilingam of PT. The way he helped students with studies and opportunities was unparalleled. 
  • Then comes the MITAFEST. One of the most loved and awaited college fests of the year. When the events begin, you'll feel all immersed in the celebration and festivities which follow. Definitely a recipe for delectable memories in the future.

The campus is serene and compact, it's not the largest, nor are there thousands of students. Rather you'll find yourself in a close-knit community.

What is the best ragging experience you have had at Madras Institute Of Technology?

RS
Raghavendra Sharma Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Studied at Madras Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India (2019)

My cousin went to MIT and faced it during his first semester. His seniors from the third-year department caught him red-handed one night while he got late in getting back to his hostel during the weekend. He arrived at 9 and was taken by them to the railway track from Chrompet to Pallavaram. 

  • They walked and asked him about his personal and academic backgrounds. After this, the popular question came up, which was about the number of girls in his class.
  • After reaching Pallavaram, they all bought tickets for themselves for the beach station but didn't pay for him. When the train arrived after ten minutes, they asked him to yell out some gibberish at the station, as part of the ragging.
  • The people on the station were clearly amused.

Ragging is an MIT tradition during the first year of college and then when the seniors are graduating, students are asked to do what they like to dance, sing, run, wrestle, walk, travel, bring gifts, etc. This is not scary at all, rather fun to do. My cousin faced similar incidents twice or thrice, not any harsh form of ragging but experiential stuff, which made him cherish memories of that time.

What is your opinion about studying at Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai?

SP
Shivam Patnayak Posted On : April 24th, 2021
Bachelor of engineering Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering, Madras Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu (2019)

I have one of my cousins studying at Madras Institute of Technology. So here, is what it feels like to be at MIT.

You are going to learn a lot from MIT and gain experience about how to be social and develop relations. The classes don’t run from morning to evening. You will have a lot of free time to explore the campus. You can either go and watch movies, hang out with friends, join cultural activities, etc. For class attendance, if you have above 65% attendance then it will also work.

  • Syllabus: MIT teaches an old syllabus, which is not of use in the practical world. You can read books and attend OCW lectures to gain knowledge. 
  • Faculty: MIT faculty is not very promising. They don’t elaborate on their notes, neither give an answer to a student's question.
  • Extra-Curricular Activities: MIT first-year students have to join NCC, NSO, YRC. All the coaches and mentors will show and teach you the toughest lesson of your life. 
  • Activities: You can also get involved in team projects or co-curricular activities, where you will learn about team management, leadership, peer relationship, stress management, etc. You also get to know your college mates. And might become friends with someone. 
  • Internships: You must make sure that you learn something out of these internships. Otherwise, it will not be fruitful in your learning. Most of the time, time spent during these internships are better than doing the internship itself.
  • Projects: MIT projects are not very challenging. Even if you make a basic quadcopter, they will make you believe it is the best you can do. Hence, MIT academic quality detonated by passing time. 

Therefore, MIT will make you only pass the college. You are not allowed to ask questions or take any new project in hand. It may be good for you if you are adamant to work hard.

Which college is best: the Madras Institute of Technology or the PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore?

PG
Prarthana Ghosh Posted On : March 27th, 2023
Studied at IIT Madras (2019)

 When choosing between colleges, it can be helpful to compare them based on various factors such as the courses they offer and the reputation of the institution. However, it's important to keep in mind that what may be a good fit for one person may not be the same for another. In the case of comparing the Madras Institute of Technology and the PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore, here are some things to consider:

  • Mechanical and production (regular and SW) and automobile courses are better in PSG compared to MIT.
  • MIT offers only eight courses while PSG offers 18 different courses, including Robotics.
  • Aeronautical Engineering is good at MIT whereas PSG doesn't have this course.

Ultimately, it depends on the department in which you are aspiring to study. For example, if you are interested in Mechanical Engineering, PSG may be the best choice. If you are aiming to secure a seat in Aeronautical Engineering, MIT may be the better option. When making a decision, it's important to consider your own interests and passions. Don't choose a college or department solely based on reputation or what others recommend. Choose what you like and what you are interested in.

It's also important to keep in mind that your placement after graduation will depend on your own skill set and efforts. Don't rely solely on the college's reputation for job opportunities. Ultimately, the choice of college and department should be based on your own interests and goals. Choose what feels right for you and enjoy your college life to the fullest.

Is Madras Institute of Technology also considered as Anna University? Are CEG and MIT differentiated in terms of the brand value of Anna University?

YS
Yashaswi Singh Posted On : December 16th, 2022
BE in Manufacturing, College of Engineering Guindy, Tamil Nadu, India (Graduated 2016)

Yes, MIT is a part of Anna University, despite the fact that, unlike the other three, it is not physically located on the university campus (CEG, ACT, and SAP).

Regarding the second question, there is no discrimination at Anna University as a whole because each student from each of the four campuses is treated equally, just as the NIRF does with Anna University. However, college is important when applying for jobs or for higher education, and a CEG student would unquestionably be a more desirable candidate because CEG is more prestigious and was the first to be established.

However, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, a distinguished alumnus of MIT, is the reason for its greater fame.

Is 129 enough for the cutoff for Madras Institute of Technology? Will I get into any field in MIT?

TB
Tridha Banerjee Posted On : September 15th, 2022
B.Tech IT from Madras Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India

129 isn’t enough to get admission to Madras Institute of Technology. The required cutoff for any branch at MIT is around 195. For general category students, the cutoff is even higher. 

MIT admission is purely based on merit and students are shortlisted through Anna University counseling. With a score of 129, there is little to no possibility of getting any branch at MIT.

lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

If you are an academically interested person, both NIT Kurukshetra and PEC Chandigarh will cherish you, and you will get very good opportunities in both colleges. Here are some key points to consider when deciding between the two:

Commonalities between the two colleges:

  • Both are constituent colleges of Anna University, so they share certain components, including course offerings, examination schedules, and university calendar events.
  • Faculty transfers between the colleges occasionally, and collaboration in research is not uncommon.
  • Both colleges have bright and interesting peers and professors to inspire you.

Where PEC Chandigarh is better:

  • Scale: PEC is a bigger college with more people.
  • Exposure: PEC is in the center of the city and is a well-known institution in the area.
  • Faculty: PEC's faculty in the CS department has more doctorates, and the department has been around for a few decades.
  • Seniors: PEC has been teaching computer science for longer than NIT Kurukshetra, so there are more alumni out there creating and contributing to organizations.
  • Sponsors: Due to the above reasons, PEC has very good sponsorship for college events.
  • Campus: PEC's campus is beautiful, with easy access to AU events like counseling, placements, and festivals that happen in AU grounds.

Where NIT Kurukshetra is better:

  • Seniors Link: The link with seniors is much stronger at NIT Kurukshetra, with a strong emotional dimension to the senior-junior relationship.
  • Entrepreneurship: NIT Kurukshetra has an incubation center on campus, which is great for students interested in starting up early on.
  • Programming: NIT Kurukshetra has a good competitive programming culture, with consistently high rankings in the Regional ACM-ICPC competitions.
  • Campus: NIT Kurukshetra's campus is conveniently located near Chromepet Railway station and the bus stop, making it easy to get around the area. The campus also has a rich history, serving as a hanger for wartime planes, and the aeronautics department hosts a couple of legacy planes for people to admire.

Ultimately, the decision between NIT Kurukshetra and PEC Chandigarh depends on your personal preferences and priorities. Consider factors such as location, campus facilities, faculty, and alumni network when making your choice.
