University of Madras Chennai Placement 2025: Highest Package, Average Package, Top Recruiters

Ans. Yes, the placements vary across various departments. While the Science and Management departments see a more structured recruitment process, with recruiters visiting campus, the Humanities department are more research-oriented, and focus on more academic roles.

Ans. Since the University of Madras has multiple campuses, most recruiters will not visit every campus. Most placement activities happen at one campus, that is, main campuses like Chepauk have all placement drives post final exams. Candidates from affiliated colleges and other satellite campuses are invited for common placements. This helps with equal opportunity with students at different campuses. While responsibility for place is handled by a central placement team, placement and recruitment are planned jointly through a manual coordination process.

Ans. Yes, the University of Madras will generally allow students to sit for interviews with multiple placements, unless a company requires a candidate to sign a “one-offer” letter, accepting that company’s offer. Once a student accepts an offer, there may be rules placed by the placement cell prohibiting them to sit for other placements. The primary reason for this is to create the possibility for all candidates to receive an interview and attend the interview, making sure no 1 or 2 students, for example, do not have a number of company offers to choose from, while the other candidate classmates are still involved in an active recruiting phase.
