IIT Madras: 111 Answered Questions

Why is IIT Madras the best IIT?

Tushar Banerjeestudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

There is no such thing as a best IIT as each IIT has its unique strengths and weaknesses. Here is how I grade the top engineering colleges in India

  • The 5 oldest IITs, IIT Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Madras, and KGP are considered to be in the top layer. Even BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad fall into this category.
  • The second level of IITs includes IIT Roorkee, Guwahati, Hyderabad, and IIT BHU.
  • The third level comprises IITs like IIT Indore, Gandhinagar, Ropar, Mandi, etc. 

In reality, what matters more than the college and its brand name is the efforts you invest in making the most out of the resources offered by the college. Your attitude towards academics and passion for success is the driving fuel and the image of the college just adds to the processes.

Which is better, IIT Hyderabad CSE or IIT Madras EE?

Mansi Bhatnagar

This question can only have a subjective answer. I have myself done my B.Tech EE from IIT Madras, but I would recommend you consider several factors before arriving at a decision-

Your subject of interest matters a lot, even more than your college. Make sure to select the branch that interests you. Take a good look at the curriculum and course offerings of both these options, and find out which of them aligns with your career/academic goals. Also consider the specialization opportunities offered by each option. 

Look at the research interests and projects undertaken by faculty members of each program. Realize whose interests align with you the most. Getting into research work at UG level will only be beneficial for you. Take a visit to both the institutes or consult some seniors to find out which one offers better infrastructure, campus life and other facilities. 

Personally speaking, I’ve had an excellent experience at the Electrical department of IIT Madras. So, if you don’t have a particular interest in CS, you may very well consider EE at IITM.

Tithi BanerjeeB.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2021)

If you're considering pursuing an M.Tech in construction management, you might be wondering which institute is better between IIT Madras and IIT Delhi. According to my knowledge cutoff of 2021, IIT Madras has an edge over IIT Delhi for this program.

While the quality of professors and curriculum may be subjective, the proximity of IIT Madras to these companies is not.

Should I do an online BSc data science and programming course from IIT Madras? Will I get placement after it?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

My friend has enrolled himself for B.Sc. Data Science and Programming course from IIT M. He carefully accessed the course curriculum.

According to him, the course requires at least 4 to 6 hours of study each day.

One can not simply study it on the weekends and cope up. My friend has a tight working schedule, and therefore, he is considering leaving this course.

But if you can devote time for the course each day, then this course will definitely benefit you. The placement statistics are not very clear but the curriculum is rigorous and so you will learn new skills that will come handy during job search.
