Course Curriculum Overview :
The curriculum is very comprehensive and relevant with the current industry and specially if you are interested in information technology, and supply chain. Teaching methods are mostly presentation based the classes are 2 hour long and we usually have four classes per day. Also the year is divided into four trimesters of three months each this increases slide pressure on the students and they have to go through seven subjects in one trimester
Internships Opportunities :
Placement opportunities at it Madras are really good for finals. We have a separate placement sale for the Department which caters to placement of the MBA program along with that we also have the central placement committee which takes care of the placements of all departments and branches which inherently also includes MBA and Doms so we get double benefits. The range of placements goes from 30 lakhs to close to 16 lakhs and average stands at 18 to 20 lakhs.
Placement Experience :
Placement opportunities are decent summer internship program starts from the next month of you joining College in July the company start coming in interview starts happening and internships begin in May next year similarly final placements start from October and by December they usually end multiple good companies like Deloitte visit the campus. IIT Madras has been offering 100% placements continuously for the past few years and average CTC has been increasing rapidly over the past years
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
IIT Madras has one of the lowest fees when it comes to top management institutes in India with annual fees being close to 7 Lacs including hostel and everything else. We also have a foreign exchange program which takes us to various universities which IIT Madras has collaborations especially in the European nations. Multiple financial aids are available for the students especially from the Alumni Association. I was part of multiple teams in the campus I also did a summer internship in a company based out of IIT Madras Research Park
Campus Life :
Annual cultural Fest has been amazing at IIT Madras especially Dom's also has a separate Fest of its own the library is amazing facilities and technological Provisions within the classrooms are really good we have Smart classes with PowerPoint presentations big screens and Smart touch displays. Sports and extracurricular activity opportunities are amazing we do have less time for it but still it is good student run groups clubs and p o r t a l s are amazingly well
Hostel Facilities :
Hostel facility is really amazing first year students get to stay in mandakini hotel which is the newest constructed 10 floor building with all facilities and amenities it it has automatic washing machines amazing washrooms good rooms Windows fans are desk chair almirahs and everything. The food of IIT Madras is good we have veg non veg and north south options and the menu is different for all 14 days we can also change the mess after every month
Admission :
To be eligible in the course or you need to have a 3 year or four year graduation. The selection is done through cat exam being a gem candidate I would recommend being in 97.5 percentile and above. After get exam you need to apply from the item address website the release forms within a week or so after the cat results are announced the admission processes fairly decent there would be less transparency and you would not be aware of what things are going on so that is one area of improvement where they could respond to emails quicker and pick up the phones.
Faculty :
The Faculty to student ratio is good also I believe the faculty is more focused towards operations this course is good for people with tech or strong engineering background. The Faculty credential and approach to teaching and mentorship is amazing they are very friendly and approachable and their academic excellence is demonstrated by the number of papers they have written Awards they have won and their vast industry experience.
Interview Experience :
-2There was no group discussion but we had a writing session where we were given a topic and we have to write about that topic after that we had our interview that was really grilling for me and it took around 15 minutes to be done but then in the end it was really good and I got selected
