What should IIT Madras do to attract most of the top 100 JEE (Advanced) rankers?

ST
Shruti Tiwari Posted On : July 20th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

IIM Madras, being a premium institute in science and engineering, does not need anything additional to attract most of the top 100 JEE Advanced rankers in the country. Being a student here I can at least give a brief overview of the rankers’ perspectives in choosing among IITs, along with some advantages of being in IIT Madras.

  • Most of the top 100 rankers in JEE Advanced go for IIT Bombay. The main reason behind this choice is the city of Bombay, which adds to the brand name.
  • Most students in this range of rank choose either Computer Science and Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • On the other hand, IIT Madras has really good programs for CSE, Electrical, along with several other streams too.
  • To be true, there is not much difference in quality and merit among the top 100 rankers and students with 100-500 ranks in JEE Advanced. So, it should be judged cumulatively.
  • IIT Madras has its own culture inside the campus, with an amazing charm. Only students entering the campus get the real essence of it.

Therefore, all the top IITs have their own benefits and are excellent in all aspects like infrastructure, placement, facilities, etc. Top rankers can choose any of those, based on their preference in streams and city.

Which is better, IIT Hyderabad CSE or IIT Madras EE?

AG
Akhil Gupta Posted On : February 29th, 2024
B.Tech EE from IIT Madras

This question can only have a subjective answer. I have myself done my B.Tech EE from IIT Madras, but I would recommend you consider several factors before arriving at a decision-

Your subject of interest matters a lot, even more than your college. Make sure to select the branch that interests you. Take a good look at the curriculum and course offerings of both these options, and find out which of them aligns with your career/academic goals. Also consider the specialization opportunities offered by each option. 

Look at the research interests and projects undertaken by faculty members of each program. Realize whose interests align with you the most. Getting into research work at UG level will only be beneficial for you. Take a visit to both the institutes or consult some seniors to find out which one offers better infrastructure, campus life and other facilities. 

Personally speaking, I’ve had an excellent experience at the Electrical department of IIT Madras. So, if you don’t have a particular interest in CS, you may very well consider EE at IITM.
