IIT Madras Experience

IIT Madras is the best engineering college in India. Since 2016 IIT Madras has gained a no-1 spot for the best engineering college in India. I cleared my GATE exam with good marks and I applied for admission to IIT Madras through COAP counselling. I did not apply for any kind of scholarship. I decided to opt for IIT Madras because the college is best in engineering and the placement is superb and the educational standards are very high.

The curriculum of the program is one of the best and the standards are very high. The curriculum matches the international standards. The curriculum gives us a complete insight into circuits, the importance of integrated circuits and how to develop the circuits and their impact on industrial development. The curriculum gives an ample opportunity for research work.

The internship is mandatory and we are eligible for the internship after completing the first year of our program. Around 35+ companies visit our campus for the internship program and to take part in the internship program we have to register our names with the placement committee. The average stipend for internships is around Rs. 95000/-.

You cannot doubt the placement of IIT Madras. The college provides one of the best placements for us and the college has a record of 100% placement. Few of my batchmates received the pre-placement offers during the internship program. The efforts of the placement committee are really superb we have to register our names with the placement committee for placement. The placement committee makes sure that every one of us is properly placed. The highest package for our batch was around 78 LPA and the average package was around 22.50 LPA. Around more than 75+ companies visited our campus for the college placement drive.
