IISc and IITM both offer good placements opportunities for M.Tech ECE. Same core companies visit the campuses, especially for ECE branches of Micro-Electronics and Electronics Systems Engineering.

ST
Sneha Thakur Posted On : July 5th, 2021
Studied at IIT Madras (2019)

To answer your question in the most simplified manner, I would target the primary factors which are as follows:

  • IIT Madras happened to be one of the oldest institutes in the city. This is the centre of attraction and it is a big deal for students.
  • A city like Chennai is a good place to relax and unwind. From any sort of historical, spiritual location to even recreational ones, which include - Mahabalipuram, MGR Memorial, Pondicherry are certain places that can help you bounce back in life.
  • The food can be a little tough to get adjusted to. But don't stick to the college canteen or mess, go out and experiment. It will help break the monotony of life.
  • Chennai, as a city is excellent for women too as it is safe for them to reside in and explore ahead.

This is what makes this city even better for others to love. This is how the presence of an IIT can change the way people look at the city.

What is the procedure to convert into a dual degree from B.tech at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM)?

VA
Vishal Ahluwalia Posted On : November 22nd, 2020
B.Tech. Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (2012)

IIT Madras (IITM) is ranked 1st in the Engineering category by NIRF Ranking 2019. They have a strong and highly qualified faculty of 630 members, most of them being PhD holders and have a student strength of 6638.

BTech in IITM is a 4 year full time undergraduate course. Students after completing their 10+2 and securing a JEE Advanced rank can apply for a BTech program.

BTech and MTech dual degree is a 5 year course which will give students a both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Technology or Engineering. 

Process of Conversion into a Dual degree

  • The change will be initiated at the end of the 1st semester.
  • Overall GPA of the 1st semester will be considered.
  • This might depend on the vacancies.
  • The process involves filling out a form and signing with the Faculty Advisor and HoD.
  • The strength of a class should not fall below the existing strength by more than 10% and should not go above the sanctioned strength by more than 10% percent.
  • The cut off of the CGPA is 7.5 and higher.
  • After the 7th semester it is not allowed to change the degree from BTech to Dual degree.

The advantages of taking a dual degree (BTech + MTech) gives the students an opportunity to receive both degrees with a year to spare. Unlike doing BTech and MTech separately which will take 6 years to complete whereas a dual degree will take 5 years to complete.

What should IIT Madras do to attract most of the top 100 JEE (Advanced) rankers?

ST
Shruti Tiwari Posted On : July 20th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

IIM Madras, being a premium institute in science and engineering, does not need anything additional to attract most of the top 100 JEE Advanced rankers in the country. Being a student here I can at least give a brief overview of the rankers’ perspectives in choosing among IITs, along with some advantages of being in IIT Madras.

  • Most of the top 100 rankers in JEE Advanced go for IIT Bombay. The main reason behind this choice is the city of Bombay, which adds to the brand name.
  • Most students in this range of rank choose either Computer Science and Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • On the other hand, IIT Madras has really good programs for CSE, Electrical, along with several other streams too.
  • To be true, there is not much difference in quality and merit among the top 100 rankers and students with 100-500 ranks in JEE Advanced. So, it should be judged cumulatively.
  • IIT Madras has its own culture inside the campus, with an amazing charm. Only students entering the campus get the real essence of it.

Therefore, all the top IITs have their own benefits and are excellent in all aspects like infrastructure, placement, facilities, etc. Top rankers can choose any of those, based on their preference in streams and city.

Which is better: Civil at IIT Madras or CSE at IIT Dhanbad?

AS
Arati Sinha Posted On : March 29th, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

If you are facing a dilemma between choosing computer science at ISM Dhanbad and civil engineering at IIT Madras, here are some points to consider:

  1. Passion: Before making a decision, think about which field you are more passionate about. Consider factors such as your academic performance, interests, and long-term career goals.
  2. College Comparison: Both ISM Dhanbad and IIT Madras are excellent institutions with their own set of strengths and advantages. Research the colleges, their curriculum, faculty, campus life, and other factors that matter to you.
  3. Branch Change Advantage: If you are still unsure about your passion, one factor that might tip the scales in favor of ISM Dhanbad is the branch change advantage. In ISM Dhanbad, you can choose CS as your major and switch to another branch after the first year if you find that CS is not your passion. This is because many students in IITs try to switch to CS after the first year, creating an opportunity for branch exchange.
  4. Career Prospects: Computer science is a rapidly growing field with high demand for skilled professionals, while civil engineering offers a diverse range of career opportunities such as construction management, structural engineering, and environmental engineering.
  5. Your Situation: It may also play a role in your decision. Consider factors such as your financial situation, location preferences, and family commitments.

The decision between choosing computer science at ISM Dhanbad and civil engineering at IIT Madras is a personal one that depends on various factors. By considering your passion, college comparison, branch change advantage, career prospects, and personal situation, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your interests and goals.
