My college experience

Remarks:

The management is extremely slow to implement ideas of students. Things have not yet been digitized and one needs to get a paper signed by at least 5 people before you can get something approved. Otherwise they are friendly and open to suggestions

Dream but someone else's

Remarks:

It is a very good technical institute and the administration tries it maximum to support the student community. If you want to study engineering in the country, IITs are the best choice before you. You can learn a lot.

Why to join IIT

Remarks:

Almost every day is like a festival with people from all parts of the country and also because of the presence of some foreign students. Thus its a good thing promoting unity/ harmony. It will be better if only vegetarian food is made available in the campus. Smoking should b banned in strict sense. The shops around the campus should be closed either by telling smoothly and if not that does not work..then by using police force. In the name of freedom..some people (who cannot be called students) are behaving wrongly either with indecent dress up or spending time wastefully on internet. Only good songs should b permitted during college fest.

A Home of many experiences

Remarks:

The management tries to involve only so much when it comes to students and thus give necessary amount of freedom. It is always supportive of what students want to do and even contributes positively sometimes. Institute is quite friendly in all the formalities and shows patience in every aspect. These are the things which helped it bag back to back first ranks in NIRF rankings of Indian Colleges.

Entrance Preview:

I took IIT JEE and AIEEE. I Scored 1046 rank in category and got into IIT Chennai. I took Biotechnology Branch. I had few other options in IIT Delhi and Kharagpur. But my parents wouldn't send me that far and Chennai is near from my place (Andhra Pradesh).

Awesome Startup experience and Innovation at IITM.

Remarks:

There were a little bad experience of campus placement. Only 70 to 80% B.tech Students were getting job. If you considered about other students like M.Tech and Phd then very less job opportunity for the even less than 20%. Apart from this there was also a problem with classes. some classes was held in CRC and some classes held in DOMS. we needed to spend 3-4 Minutes to go one classes to another class. our class time duration was 50 minutes only but some professor was teaching up to 1 hours, so no time to go one class to another.

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 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.

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.
