After completing 6th semester, students are eligible to participate in placements. Big companies like MAANG, Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Morgan Stanley, Quant etc visit our campus every year. The number of offers would be less than 10. The highest package got for Civil Engineering student is 84Lpa and his profile is SDE, and average is 8Lpa. 40-60% placed every year.

Student Snaps:
Placement Experience:
The placement and internship culture is very tough and rigorous in our college. Students start generally preparing from the end of 2nd year for internship which takes place from the start of 3rd year. The placement generally occurs at the end of the 7th semester for the B.TEch students. Some of the multinational companies like Google, Microsoft, BCG, BNY, JP Morgan, etc. come to recruit from our institute and recruit students from various profiles like software consult product managerial roles, etc. Some of the quant companies like Optiver offer packages in crores. The average package for software roles ranges from 20-30 LPA. In our department the previous year 75% of students got placed in various companies under different profiles. My plan is to target product or software-based companies and get placed in any of the companies and after that pursue an MBA from abroad.

What is your review of IIT Madras data science program?
NileshBS in Data Science from IIT Madras (Graduated 2023)
The online Data Science program at IIT Madras is a great opportunity for someone who can not attend regular college because of financial constraints, illness, or other reasons. The online BS in Data Science and Application allows students to gain knowledge of this field from one of the most reputed engineering colleges in India.
The online lectures are taught by experienced faculty members from IITM. What I found most interesting was the professors' distinct approach to teaching. The students are routinely assisted by committed and supportive staff.
IIT Madras has undertaken a unique approach to imparting their expertise in the highly demanded field of Data Science.

What are your thoughts on IIT Madras offering a bachelor's degree/diploma online?
Shraya HazraB.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (2020)
It is a full-time degree or diploma and so it will have more value than online. But if we compare IIT Madras’ online degree or diploma with any other college’s then it is better.
The duration of the course is 3 years. The mode of training is online, the lectures are mostly recorded and partly live sessions.
Whether the course will be good or not that depends on what subject you are planning to pursue. If you opt for a subject related to technology, then it is not a good option. This is because technology cannot be learned through books or audiovisual. It requires you to be present in the field to gain experience and knowledge.
