- The IITM campus is clean and green, it's basically built inside a forest, so the atmosphere is very peaceful.
- The infrastructure is really good and the lab facilities are wonderful.
- All faculties are PhD scholars and are well versed in their domain
Dislikes
- I do not like the teaching methodology of some of my faculties, even though they are highly knowledgeable.
- There will be too many events and activities happening at the same time, so it will be a bit difficult to manage academics and social life
- Sometimes, the exams will be on back to back days with less time to study
Student Snaps:
Placement Experience:
The placement opportunities are plenty at IITM. Since I am in my first year, I don't know much about placements but I have heard that top companies around the world come for placements.
The highest package this year was 4.3 crore per annum. The average salary in Electrical engineering is 22 LPA.
I plan to join a company and work for a few years and then decide what to do. I am not yet clear about my future plans.

Dislikes
- No proper rainwater management system hence a little trouble in monsoon
- Girls to boys ratio is very less especially in branches like civil and mechanical.However, it is improving right now due to 10% reservation for girls in IITs
- The bus facilities are worst. The most serious problem is language barrier, you cannot communicate with lower grade employees untill you don't know the Tamil language
Course Curriculum Overview:
Even though it's an online Degree, the environment is quite engaging. They divided students in 12 houses and organize many intra house competition to attain maximum participation of the students.
The flexibility, it allows us to choose how many courses one want to register according to their capability or time and even allows to pursue this any other Degree along with it.
Healthy discussion, they have a separate discussion forum where students can discuss anything either its about academics or their hobbies.
Since it's an online Degree with almost no entry barrier, many professionals are also pursuing it making an opportunity to make good connections with industry experts.

- The peer group in the college is really good
- The faculty has got good expertise, although the quality of teaching isn't that good in class. However if you wanna collaborate with professors on projects, it's actually excellent.
- The campus has all the leading infrastructure and amenities you'll need. Including research labs, classrooms, 2 restaurants, 3 shopping centers, 2 hair salons and many more
Dislikes
- Even after the flexible courses, there's too much pressure in the core courses, which leads to a huge decrease in the overall gpa.
Placement Experience:
Students become eligible for campus placements from 7th semester.
Many top companies like Google, microsoft, apple, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan visit the campus for placements.
The highest package I think was 4.3 crores bagged by a student in cs from Jane street trading. Average would be like 15 lpa.
Percentage of students getting placements would be like 60% cause many go for research or higher studies and don't sit for placements
I want to do an ms in some foreign University in cs related subjects after getting the btech degree

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.
