IIT Madras: Admission 2024, Fees, Rankings

Indian Institute of Technology, Madras has been NIRF 1 for many years. It offers variety of degree courses like B.Tech, M.Tech, MBA, Ph.D, MS, MA, HS and specialization courses. It has one of the best research facilities among all the colleges across India. It has a large campus with total area of over 600 acres and around half of it is covered with forest because of which we have very rich wildlife inside the campus itself such as monkeys, dears, endangered black bucks, fox, cats, snakes, etc. Whole area of the institute is divided mainly among 3 parts: residential, academic and hostel zones. We have in total 21 hostels and 4 mess buildings which offer variety of north and south menu along with option of Jain food also. The campus also has some eateries such as Himalaya food court, CCD, Campus cafe, Creamstone ice cream parlors, food trucks, coconut shops, etc. One of the best things about IIT Madras is that it is one of the few IITs that are located inside the city, which makes the connectivity really good. I chose this branch because of the fact that it is the only branch that offers the course of Engineering Design according to my ranking. My overall experience has been great till now, I got to meet people from various parts of India and got to know about different cultures also. We have variety of clubs and teams here, in which you can apply for according to your interests and preference.Read Full Review

My overall experience until now has been really good. The campus is really good and it really big so we can enjoy most of the time on our campus itself. As I am in Chennai the weather is really hot but inside the campus, the weather is somewhat cold as there is more greenery like trees, etc. It is a 450 acres campus and around 100 acres is like a forest, so the weather is really good. I chose this institute because it ranked top 1 and also was nearest to my house. I will honestly tell if you are looking for a great campus life and to excel your career in your academics it's really good institute to join.Read Full Review

It has been more than a year since I joined IIT Madras, where I am pursuing Mechanical Engineering. Recently, the NIRF rankings came out, and once again, we ranked number 1. This shows how well IIT Madras is performing, both academically and in many other aspects of college life. On the ground level, IIT Madras is indeed doing great in academics and beyond. However, there's a noticeable sense of competition for class studies. Here, you have access to everything you need, whether you want to start something new or learn on your own. But two things are too important, first one enthusiasm and second dedication. You will also notice a considerable distance between professors and students, which is quite different from the school experience. At IIT, you have to find your own path because everyone is focused on their future plans like placements, internships, etc. Its part of the college culture and tradition that almost everyone aims for a placement by the end of the fourth year, so most people follow the crowd in this regard. Even though I lived in a hostel for seven years before coming to IIT, this hostel life is amazing. There’s so much to enjoy, and you can do so many things. In the end, academics and CGPA matter, and you have to put in the hard work to succeed. I hope this gives you some insight into IIT Madras.Read Full Review
