M.Tech structural engineering at IIT Madras is both challenging and rewarding. IITM is a prestigious institution, and its tag holds a lot of value both inside and outside of India. 

Time will pass very quickly during this course, and by the end of it, you’ll feel that there’s still a lot more to learn. The environment is quite competitive. If you’ll miss your lectures, it’ll be very hard to understand basic concepts while preparing for exams. 

Some professors are very likable, but you’ll not like the teaching style of many. Added to it is the tremendous workload. You’ll be overwhelmed by the never ending assignments. You won’t be spoon fed by anyone. You’ll get the reference books, syllabi and lecture notes, but you’ll have to study by yourself on a regular basis. 

Work hard by yourself, and show keen interest in learning. The professors will be happy to guide you and work with you, given that you show proper interest. They publish lots of research material every year, and are in constant search of good students to help them. 

Your career will get a positive direction at IIT Madras if you’ll work hard and make the most of your time on campus.

Admission to a Ph.D. program at IIT Madras depends on a number of factors. The GATE cutoff doesn’t have much weightage in the selection process. For shortlisting, IIT Madras considers the 10th, 12th, graduation, and masters percentile along with your GATE percentile. You need to have a valid GATE score but the required score is lower compared to the M.Tech cutoff. 

For selection, more emphasis is placed on your performance in the written test and interview.

Both IIT Delhi and IIT Madras are highly reputed institutes, and both have excellent electrical engineering departments. It is challenging to declare one institute as definitively better than the other as both are highly regarded and have their unique strengths. However, here are some points to consider that might help you in making a decision:

In terms of faculty, both IIT Delhi and IIT Madras have highly qualified and experienced professors, who are experts in their fields. However, the research output of IIT Delhi's electrical department is slightly higher than that of IIT Madras.

In terms of infrastructure and facilities, both institutes are well-equipped with state-of-the-art labs and equipment. However, IIT Madras has a larger and more extensive campus, which includes several research centers and facilities, making it a hub for cutting-edge research in the field of electrical engineering.

Both institutes have excellent placement records, with several reputed companies visiting the campus for recruitment. However, IIT Delhi has a slightly higher average placement package compared to IIT Madras.

Choosing between the two ultimately comes down to personal preferences and priorities. If you value research and a wider range of facilities, IIT Madras may be a better choice. However, if you prioritize placement opportunities and slightly higher research output, IIT Delhi may be the better choice.
