Overall Rating
IIT Madras is NIRF 1st ranked institute with great alumni network and exposure (which was the first reason for me to choose this institute). This was also best option for me according to my JEE Advanced exam result. The location of institute also plays an important role as it is located in the metropolitan city of state (Chennai), providing ample of opportunities to explore the city life.
 

Academics Rating
I am enrolled in Bachelor of Technology degree in Civil Engineering department. Pursuing this branch has lot of plus points as I will have opportunities both in core as well as non-core companies in the future. Additionally, the curriculum of this course also allows me to focus on extracurricular activities, hobbies and passion along with studies. You must have decent rank of at least 4000 in JEE Advanced to get into branch.
 

Faculty Rating
The faculty of Civil Engineering Department is very helpful. The professors here are very intelligent. Their teaching style is remarkable and simple which can be understood by all type of students. They all have studied from other countries and also did research work in their field which shows their grip in their field.
 

Placement Rating
There is a Career and Placement team, which is totally dedicated to placements in IIT Madras. Placements here are average and you should have CGP at least greater than 7.5 in order to get decent package. During the placements, the Career and Placement team is very helpful and co-operative.
 

Hostel Rating
Unfortunately I am not a Hosteller so I don't have much knowledge about hostel life. Although, I have many friends that are hostellers and they have told me that overall hostel facilities are good.
 

Infrastructure Rating
Infrastructure of Indian Institute of Technology Madras is really very impressive. The greenery, the beauty of buildings, and little touch of wildness with animals like monkeys and dears makes it whole lot of experience. Every academic building is a sign of perfection, beauty and peace also they are not far from each other. The availability of shopping complex proves really helpful as it has all the basic necessities.
 

Campus Rating
Overall campus life is very good. Seniors here are very friendly, helpful and cooperative. There are so many clubs to take part according to one's interest like Gaming Club, Coding Club, Media Club, etc. There are also many fests going on throughout institute years like Shaastra (Tech Fest), Saarang (Cultural Fest), etc. You can also be a part of those fests by enrolling yourself for position of volunteer or co-coordinator or manager or core or head in specific verticals of your choice.

  • A great campus life to explore
     

    Overall Rating
    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... Read Full Review
