Verified Review

College Infrastructure

We can not tell much about the hostels because have not been there as it is an online degree, but whenever I get there in the fests I can explore the campus myself and then I can make any comment on that, but tell from other people's experience it is very well.

Top iits for research

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

Since this is a distance/off-campus/online course, you won't get access to campus for regular study, but you can visit the campus with your official ID card. If we talk about the curriculum and academics, then you are going to have an IIT-level quality of education.

iit bombay chemical or iit madras mechanical and why

Hello there,

Choosing between IIT Bombay Chemical Engineering and IIT Madras Mechanical Engineering depends on your interests and career goals:

  • IIT Bombay Chemical Engineering : Known for its strong research facilities and industry connections in the chemical sector. If you’re interested in chemical processes, materials science, or related fields, this could be a great fit.

  • IIT Madras Mechanical Engineering : Renowned for its robust mechanical engineering curriculum, research opportunities, and diverse applications in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. If you have a keen interest in mechanical systems and design, this might suit you better.

Both are prestigious programs, but IIT Madras Mechanical Engineering generally has broader applications and may offer more diverse career opportunities.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.




You have filled a category by mistake and now need help rectifying it for IIT Madras BS program application via IAT.

It's crucial to reach out to the admissions office at IIT Madras as soon as possible. Explain the situation clearly:

  • You mistakenly selected OBC NCL category during IAT registration.
  • You cannot provide an OBC NCL certificate because you don't belong to that category.


  • In your communication with the admissions office, politely explain the mistake and request them to correct your category selection in the application.

  • Mention the category you actually belong to (if applicable) and any documents you can provide to support your claim (e.g., caste certificate for a different category).

    If you belong to a different reservation category, the admissions office might allow you to change your category selection and request the relevant certificate.

    If you don't belong to any reservation category, they might allow you to switch to the general category without needing a certificate.

    In some cases, they might ask for an affidavit or self-declaration stating that you don't belong to the OBC NCL category.


  • Once you have contacted the admissions office, keep a record of your communication (email or phone conversation details).

  • If they require any further action from you, respond promptly to avoid delays in processing your application.

Hi, I have done BE in EEE but working as a software engineer from last 3years. I want to study MS in computer science and engineering, do I have to clear any exams or how can I get seat in IIT Madras? And is it possible to do part time MS? If yes, what is the course duration?

Getting into an M.S. program in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Madras with a B.E. in EEE and software engineering experience is possible.

While not mandatory for all specializations, some M.S. programs at IIT Madras, including CSE, recommend a GATE score for shortlisting candidates. A good GATE score can strengthen your application.

Your B.E. in EEE is a valid bachelor's degree, but some foundational knowledge of computer science would be beneficial. Your 3 years as a software engineer demonstrate practical experience in the field. You can highlight relevant projects and skills in your application. IIT Madras typically considers a combination of factors for selection, including GATE score (if applicable), academic performance in B.E., Statement of Purpose (SOP), and letters of recommendation (LOR).

IIT Madras doesn't currently offer a part-time M.S. program in CSE.However, they do offer a Master of Science (MSc) by Research program, which allows some flexibility in scheduling research work.

The full-time M.S. program in CSE at IIT Madras is typically a two-year program.
