Not more but the only thing i didn't like here is hot climate.
As it is nature we can't do anything to it.

Placement Experience:

From the 7th semester (3rd year) students here can apply for internships and placements. Many big companies like Google, Microsoft, Uber, Facebook others. Almost all here will get into placements unless they want to research and stuff. I am planning to do a job for 3yrs gain some experience and teammates and start a startup in the automobile industry.

I like campus most and studies also very good but exams are very tough and must study very hard to get good score.
There is no discrimination between girls and boys we can live comfortable with anyone.

Dislikes

Attendance takes very strictly if we give valid reason
So professors are too dangerous and we have to stay away from them

Course Curriculum Overview:

My course I IIT Madras is Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, but in IIT Madras is not only good for studies they will give us a lot of chances to prove ourselves. Here we have a research park for research interested students and the CFI club is a great one in this institute.

The RAW HONEST GENUINE REVIEW of so called NIRF 1 IIT Madras

4.3Helpful

Likes

The campus is awesome and filled with greenary, deers, monkeys and humans. The hostel became my second home here. The faculty are friendly and give opportunity to meet even after class

Placement Experience:

From the 5th semester students become eligible for campus placements, Google, Microsoft, big tech companies finance companies, and startups, The average package for the year 2022 is approximately 20L/annum. And there are more than 1,500 offers made each year. Almost everyone gets placed with more or less salary. I want to either pursue higher education or join a job based on my interests at that period. But I will do what I am interested in.

Informal club is the best in IIT Madras.

Dislikes

The gate securities are arrogant as hell

Placement Experience:

Placements at IIT Madras are fantastic! Students get the chance to dive into the job market from their 6th semester onwards, and boy, the list of companies that roll in is impressive. You've got giants like Google, Microsoft, and a bunch more snatching up talent left and right. The highest packages are jaw-dropping and around 14,00,000 a month, and the average ones are nothing to scoff at either. Pretty much everyone here walks away with a sweet job offer. It's a great feeling, I tell you. As for me, I'm all set to chase my dream tech job after I get that shiny degree. The opportunities are endless, and it's an exciting ride ahead!

IIT Madras: 3 Answered Questions

IIT Madras Vs IIT Bombay: Which campus is more beautiful?

Purnima IyerStudies at IIT Madras

Both IIT Madras and IIT Bombay for popular academic institutions in India, renowned for their academic and research excellence.

IIT Madras offers a natural and serene environment while IIT offers more modern infrastructures and architectures.
However, the beauty of the campus is dependent on your preference and other factors.
IIT Madras has a beautiful campus located in Chennai, it is spread across 25 hectares and is nestled between the Raj Bhavan campus and Guindy National Park.
The campus offers a serene atmosphere and lush greenery with iconic fractures like the Gajendra Circle and Saraswathi Auditorium.
The river Adyar flows alongside the campus of IIT Madras which enhances its natural charm.

What are your thoughts on IIT Madras offering a bachelor's degree/diploma online?

Shraya HazraB.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (2020)

It is a full-time degree or diploma and so it will have more value than online. But if we compare IIT Madras’ online degree or diploma with any other college’s then it is better.

The duration of the course is 3 years. The mode of training is online, the lectures are mostly recorded and partly live sessions.

Whether the course will be good or not that depends on what subject you are planning to pursue. If you opt for a subject related to technology, then it is not a good option. This is because technology cannot be learned through books or audiovisual. It requires you to be present in the field to gain experience and knowledge.

What is your review of IIT Madras data science program?

NileshBS in Data Science from IIT Madras (Graduated 2023)

The online Data Science program at IIT Madras is a great opportunity for someone who can not attend regular college because of financial constraints, illness, or other reasons. The online BS in Data Science and Application allows students to gain knowledge of this field from one of the most reputed engineering colleges in India.

The online lectures are taught by experienced faculty members from IITM. What I found most interesting was the professors' distinct approach to teaching. The students are routinely assisted by committed and supportive staff.

IIT Madras has undertaken a unique approach to imparting their expertise in the highly demanded field of Data Science.
