Remarks
The admission process generally starts in the month of April after GATE results are out. We have to apply in each of the college admission portal as well as there is a centralized admission portal (COAP) where offers are released from mid May. I chose IIT Madras as it was one of the top 3 IITs and it has good faculty for ML and AI. Also, the placements are good.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum was difficult and so were the academics. Faculties are PhDs in their respective areas and they are experts in their fields. Term exams and internal assessments are all planned and scheduled accordingly.
Internships Opportunities
Yes, I interned at Mathworks. There are a lot of companies that visit the campus for internship and later provide PPO for the deserving candidates based on their works. The projects vary from company to company.
Placement Experience
We were eligible for placements in our 3rd semester. There are around 500 companies that had come for the placements. The highest package was around 60 lakhs and average package is around 20 lakhs. Around 80% students got placed.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The institute fees per semester was around Rs.14000 and hostel fees per semester was around Rs. 24000. Since we were post graduate students, we had teaching assistant responsiblities for which we received monthly stipend of Rs.12400
Campus Life
Saarang is the cultural fest and Shaastra is the tech fest. They are all conducted in December end and start of January before the semester officially starts. There are various clubs available that anyone can join if they are interested. Books are available in the central library and can be requested if they are not available.
