IIT Madras: 1 Answered Question
How hectic is life at IIT Madras for Mtech in Thermal Engineering?
The entire first year of an MTech in Thermal Engineering student at IIT Madras revolves around tremendous coursework. Once you have completed your first year, you are expected to select your guide for the research work you will be doing the next year.
The second year is also very hectic in which the entire 3rd semester is spent on placements and the 4th semester consists of thesis work. The entire program is hectic and it’s advisable to pull your socks from the first year itself, or else you will face problems during placements.
To get a good package from a good company, make sure your CGPA does not go lower than 7.5-8. If your basics are strong, you will spend less time doing your assignments and preparing for exams thus relaxing your tight schedule a bit.
