Hey Guys, I've also been selected fot IITM! I'm from Tamil Nadu (Coimbatore). This is the only final call I've got, and so it's my only hope. I've been reading the PLACEMENT BROCHURE for 2004 (downloadable pdf file). And the number of companies that come for Summer Internship / Final Placement adds up to 62! Guess the final placements will pick up in the years to come. But, when v come out, I guess it's going to be in the emerging stages. Guess placements r only a matter of pride, for most people settle with the company they did internship, and they promise higher compensation. So, v'll have to find a really good company for our internship. My only doubt is how will the other biggie-Bschools rank us? (For eventually, v'll be competing with them for placements.) Do u guys think v will get the same recognition as IIT D or KGP?
hi guys!
what happened ... no more posting on this thread ???? i just wanted to know who all have finally decided to come over to IITM. there must be ppl who r awaiting results of other institutes. even iam waiting for NMIMS. so all of you who have finally decided to comeover or awaiting results - please mention abt the same here.

well thats life for u........anyways wat do u guys think........iit m worth goin or not irrespective of the iit brand.......while the insti infra is gr8.....dept. infra may be on the lower side........but i did like the course structure and faculty seemed decent........and then the million dollar question........placements.......well i dunno.......i guess we will have to slog........lets keep sharing info......
bye

well thats abt me......
bye
hi there guys
its me again.....lets post some more guys .more josh expected 
...yes dutch courage needed.....
well sidharth...buddy even i was having the same dilemma as u.nm vs iit madras........i assure u i was like this fr a few days.... 
.literally
but rational thinking broyght me to the conclusion that nm is better AS OF NOW.....i do agree that these iit soms have a very fast learning curve...but as of now it wud be imprudent of us to leave nm to join iit madras.....
well all said and done.. i still think iit madras wud be a good bet if we have its limitations firmly in mind and slog and really make up our minds to total the program......
all imho..open to argument......
bye
suman

Hey people, did u guys get any intimation from IITM now that the last date for submitting the fees is over? Hoped that they'd keep in touch and also update their site about the latest placements....
Moreover, I still got a doubt over the Department v had our interview in! Is that management Block? It also said Oceanography Section, something... Or did u see a separate department for MBA?
U may catch me online on Yahoo! balajiarnold
e-mail : [email protected]
hey there ppl
balaji.....i didnt get any intimation abt the last date except the letter.........i dunno whether they send any receipt of the fees that v have sent.........also the site has not been updated as yet...........
our interviews were in ic&sr; building......and according to ppl its the best building in iit m ...........the mba classrooms are in the hs block.........there isnt a separate building for mba as yet...........however i hav been told that the four rooms that hav been created esp fr the mba program r pretty cool............. 
hope that answers ur query.........and ppl keep posting..........
suman

Hi guys,
The IITM interviews were held in the IC & SR building, which is used by all departments, the ocean engg dept also has some offices in it.As of now they dont have a separate MBA block.Recently HRD ministry has recognised Management Studies as the 15th dept of IITM, so funds will flow thru soon.I heard that they were in the process of building a MBA block...but not sure though...I might try and meet some current batch MBA students soon.Will keep u posted on it...bbye
Hi guys
I got my acknowledgement for the acceptance letter and fees.

also if anyone of you have any details pertaining to the placements of the current batch at IITM may also put it up for others. i hope the number of companies have increased so that by the time we are supposed to be placed, we can have decent coimapnies visiting the campus. rest all fine ....... hoping to hear from my will be classmates at IITM ..... bye for now

waitin to hear more abt u all
suman
hey there ppl
go c the iit madras website........dey hav updated info on the placements this year......dey say that the median this year is 4 lakhs........
go c that info and lets discuss more abt it........
suman
only one small observation, the page nowhere says that the placement is 100%, I dont know what to read from it.....
what is ur take on it.
Nalin
Well according to me, a more significant developement is that a new Department Of Management Studies has been created and thus the MBA program will no more run by the Humanities dept.
It perhaps bodes well for the future batches.
