What is the best advice to give first year juniors at the Madras Institute of Technology?

My relative used to be a student of Madras Institute of Technology so she will be the best person who I think will be able to answer this question.

• Try to track your T-senior as soon as possible as they can help in a lot of ways.
• Try to be an active member in as many student clubs as possible. Madras Institute of Technology has eight departments and more than twelve student clubs.
• Make sure you do not return to your hostel as soon as your classes get over. Get into a room of LHC where there would be some activities going on. Try to attend all of them.
• Try not to take your classes lightly. It is a very difficult college to get into and even some of the most diligent students do not end up getting admitted.
• Madras Institute of Technology has also seen 6 pointers end up getting placed and 10 pointers applying for TCS. Like all colleges, CGPA is very important for progress.

Aptitude and coding tests can also go a long way no matter what department you may be in. Attending robotics classes and gliding contests can also be very influential. In addition to that, you can also learn basics about the development of mobile apps, the creation of websites, etc.

You can also get involved in activities like Rotaract, Youth Red Cross, Computer Science Association, or any other association and learn to organize big events.
