Remarks
I wasn't that Interested in science that's why I opted for Humanities during my 10+2 but when I got to know about this integrated programme at IITM, I at once decided to apply for it. The major reason for this was first position of IITM in overall rankings of top educational magazines. Admissions in the 5-year integrated programme are based on the HSEE score of candidates and they must hold a brilliant academic background also.
Course Curriculum Overview
The BA+MA course of IIT Madras is of a 5 years time duration and choosing English Language was quite obvious for me because of my love towards literature. The institute has highly advanced faculty of all different departments including ours and it was really great for my learning as well as skills development.The course is semester based and a total of 10 semesters are there in the 5 years of integrated course.
Internships Opportunities
No, I haven't participated in this round but almost all students from Engineering branches used to participate in it and even management Students. They always used to appreciate the opportunities offered to them as they were good for their academic performance also .
Placement Experience
I know that our college is most famous for its Btech programmes but as per my opinion all courses here are of premium quality and the placement drive clears it all. For our batch, over 75% of the students got packages from wellknown recruiters while some decided to pursue higher education. The best packages were bagged by Computer Science Engineering with the overall average salary being INR 12.5 LPA.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The per semester fee of nearly INR 12,600 takes the total programme fee to INR 1.32 Lacs which is very good if referring to the quality of IIT Madras and also the 5-year time stint. I was very happy with the fee structure and that's why I wasn't a applicant for any financial assistance but still these facilities were available there.
Campus Life
I think for all students of BA+MA course, the campus life was a major part as it gave us numerous opportunities to learn and participate enhancing us Individually. I participated in different sports events throughout my journey with IIT Madras while events regarding machinery, alumni, cultural things and technology were also there. The IIT-M was also a premium experience giving us books and journals from some of the best in English literature.
Hostel Facilities
Yes, I would have lived in the hostels of our college but as my Sister was married in Chennai itself so she forced me to stay with them and I couldn't resist. It was pretty good to continue my study in this way but I think I missed some great experiences which could have been there through the hostel life
Admission
As we all know, IITs are the most prestigious institutes of our country thus admissions to them are always hard & the less number of seats in this integrated programme makes it more difficult . The score of candidates in HSEE are checked while having a good academic profile is also very important.
