Remarks :
I applied for a couple of IITs, new and baby IIMs during and after CAT 2020. Due to the pandemic, admission processes went completely through online mode. The admission processes began by applying for the course on their website soon after the CAT 2020 results are declared. It included attachments of our mark sheets, a few important certificates, and extra-curricular. The institute released interview call letters for shortlisted candidates. This shortlisting was based on one's aggregate of 10th, 12th and undergraduate marks along with gender diversity, academic diversity, and work experience taking into consideration. I remember the DoMS IIT Madras interview was the last in the series of interviews I attended. The interview lasted for about 15-20 minutes for each of the candidates. And I received my admission offer letter in the very first list which was out around the first week of May.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I opt to join this institute mainly considering batch strength, faculty/student ratio, and alma mater. 25 faculties are exclusively for the DoMS. About three fourth of them have 20+ years of experience in the industry which actually helps them to provide in-depth practical knowledge to the students. DoMS IIT Madras follows a quarter system by which there would be exams every 8 weeks. The evaluation is solely through the written exams. It is done with the combination of quizzes, assignments, projects, class participation, and so on.
Internships Opportunities :
Companies that came for the internships are Accenture, McKinsey, Outlook, TCS, DELL, and few others. The highest stipend offered is around 2 lakhs. The average stipend ranges around 77,000. The companies that recruits range widely from startups to highly established one. It's up to the students to choose.
Placement Experience :
At the end of the first year, students are expected to do internships for a couple of months. The Placement committee works hard to ease this process and ensures 100% placements in both summer internships and final placements. Some premium companies like Accenture, McKinsey & Company, Infosys, Cognizant, Dell, Mu Sigma are regular recruiters of the institute. The highest package for the summer internship stands around 2 lakhs.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The overall fee of the course comes around 1200000 which includes hostel expenses and abroad programs. Scholarships are provided based on the family income level of the student. The institute always does a good job in placements by getting all the students of the batch placed. Few students however opt-out from the campus placement but still get placed in reputed organizations.
Campus Life :
We are not called to the campus yet due to the covid situation. But even then club activities and committees are doing a good job online. Club and committees function through online meetings, competitions, and lectures for now. Being everything needs to be operated through the internet, I would say the IT department of the institute functions really well in all aspects.
Interview Experience :
Due to the pandemic this year, the entire admission process went online. So only interviews were conducted slot-wise, which lasted for about 15-20 minutes. I updated myself with the current affairs and especially new trends related to my undergraduate stream. Also, I made sure that I am clear about the reason for choosing this institute and course.
