IIT Madras

Study mode and location

For Chennai campus study, compare hostel and mess arrangements, travel home, climate and the practical timetable. Confirm facilities and support relevant to the department rather than relying only on the institute name.

Programme families to explore

BTech, BS, MTech. The official catalogue determines the exact award, specialisation and current availability.

What to verify before shortlisting

• Use the exact campus programme and admission route.
• Match every closing rank to its seat category and allocation round.
• Read placement data with its cohort and salary definition.

Ranking context

NIRF 2025: rank 1 in Engineering. Engineering category; do not compare its ordinal rank directly with the University or Open University tables.

Match support to the way you learn

Request a sample academic timetable and an explanation of subject support, practical work and assessment. A flexible format still requires planned study time. For campus programmes, compare department facilities; for online programmes, ask how projects and questions receive feedback.

Keep the decision programme-specific

Use the fees, admissions and placements tabs to keep each evidence type separate. Institutional reputation is one input. The right shortlist also depends on curriculum, eligibility, full cost and the support you will actually use.
