Indian Institute of Technology Madras

Indian Institute of Technology Madras is a public engineering institute located in Chennai,

Tamil Nadu. As one of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), it is recognised as an
Institute of National Importance.[2] Founded in 1959 with technical and financial assistance
from the former government of West Germany, it was the third IIT that was established by
the Government of India.[3] IIT Madras has been ranked as the top engineering institute in
India for four years in a row (2016-2019)[4][5] by the National Institutional Ranking
Framework of the Ministry of Human Resource Development.[6]

IIT Madras is a residential institute that occupies a 2.5 km² (617 acre) campus that was
formerly part of the adjoining Guindy National Park. The institute has nearly 550 faculty,
8,000 students and 1,250 administrative and supporting staff.[7] Growing ever since it
obtained its charter from the Indian Parliament in 1961, much of the campus is a protected
forest, carved out of the Guindy National Park, home to large numbers of chital (spotted
deer), black buck, bonnet macaque, and other rare wildlife. A natural lake, deepened in
1988 and 2003, drains most of its rainwater.

Main article: History of Indian Institutes of Technology

In 1956, the West German Government offered technical assistance for establishing an
institute of higher education in engineering in India. The first Indo-German agreement was
signed in Bonn, West Germany in 1959 for the establishment of the Indian Institute of
Technology at Madras. IIT Madras was started with technical, academic and financial
assistance from the Government of West Germany and was at the time the largest
educational project sponsored by the West German Government outside their country. This
has led to several collaborative research efforts with universities and institutions in
Germany over the years.[8] Although official support from the German government has
ended, several research efforts involving the DAAD programme and Humboldt Fellowships
still exist.

The institute was inaugurated in 1959 by Prof Humayun Kabir, the then Union Minister for
Scientific Research and Cultural Affairs. The first batch had an overall strength of 120
students from across India.[9] In 1961, the IITs were declared to be Institutes of National
Importance. The first convocation ceremony was held on July 11, 1964, with Dr. S.
Radhakrishnan, then the President of India, delivering the convocation address and
awarding the degrees to the inaugural batch of students.[10] The institute got its first women
students in the B.Tech batch of 1966.[11] IIT Madras celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2009.

The main entrance of IIT Madras is on Sardar Patel Road, flanked by the residential districts
of Adyar and Velachery. The campus is close to the Raj Bhavan, the official seat of the
Governor of Tamil Nadu. Other entrances are located in Velachery (near Anna Garden MTC
bus stop, Velachery Main Road), Gandhi Road (known as Krishna Hostel gate or Toll Gate)
and Taramani gate (close to Ascendas Tech Park).
The campus is located 10 km from the Chennai Airport, 12 km from the Chennai Central
Railway station, and is well connected by city buses. Kasturba Nagar is the nearest station
on the Chennai MRTS line.

Two parallel roads, Bonn Avenue and Delhi Avenue, cut through the faculty residential area,
before they meet at the Gajendra Circle, near the Administrative Block. Buses regularly ply
between the Main Gate, Gajendra Circle, the Academic Zone, and the Hostel Zone.

The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, is an autonomous statutory organisation

functioning within the Institutes of Technology Act. The sixteen IITs are administered
centrally by the IIT Council, an apex body established by the Government of India. The
Minister of Human Resource and Development, Government of India, is the Chairman of
the Council.[12] Each institute has a Board of Governors responsible for its administration
and control.

The Senate comprises all professors of the Institute and decides its academic policy. It
controls and approves the curriculum, courses, examinations, and results. It appoints
committees to examine specific academic matters. The Director of the institute serves as the
Chairman of the Senate. The Director from 2001 to 2011 was M. S. Ananth,[13] who stepped
down at the end of July 2011.[14] As of September 2011, Bhaskar Ramamurthi has taken
over as Director.[15]

Three Senate Sub-Committees - The Board of Academic Research, The Board of Academic
Courses and The Board of Students - help in academic administration and in the operations
of the Institute. The Finance Committee advises on matters of financial policy, while the
Building and Works Committee advises on buildings and infrastructure. The Board of
Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research addresses industrial consultancy and the
Library Advisory Committee oversees library matters.

IIT Madras offers undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees across 16 disciplines
in Engineering, Sciences, Humanities and Management. About 360 faculty belonging to
science and engineering departments and centres of the Institute are engaged in teaching,
research and industrial consultancy.

The institute has 16 academic departments and advanced research centres across
disciplines of engineering and pure sciences, with nearly 100 laboratories. The academic
calendar is organised around the semester. Each semester provides a minimum of seventy
days of instruction in English. Students are evaluated on a continuous basis throughout the
semester. Evaluation is done by the faculty, a consequence of the autonomous status
granted to the Institute. Research work is evaluated on the basis of the review thesis by peer
examiners both from within the country and abroad. Ordinances that govern the academic
programme of study are prepared by the Senate, the highest academic body within the
institute.

For the undergraduate curriculum admission to the BTech and Dual Degree (BTech +
integrated Master of Arts (MA) programme is through the Humanities and Social Sciences
Entrance Examination (HSEE), an IIT Madras specific exam.[16]

For the postgraduate curriculum, admission to the MTech and MS programmes are through
the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). The Joint Admission Test to MSc (JAM) is
the entrance exam for the two-year M.Sc. programme, and other post BSc programmes.
MBA candidates are accepted through the Common Admission Test (CAT).[16]

Internationally, IIT Madras was ranked 264 in the QS World University Rankings of 2018.[17]
The same rankings ranked it 48 in Asia[19] and 18 among BRICS nations.[18] It was ranked
601-800 in the world by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings of 2018,[25]
103 in ASIA[21] and 35 among BRICS & Emerging Economies University Rankings in 2017.[20]

IIT Madras also ranked first among engineering colleges by the National Institutional
Ranking Framework in 2018 [23] and second overall.[22] It was ranked fourth among
engineering colleges in India in 2017 by The Week.[24]

The Indian Institutes of Technology are under control of the Government of India and
therefore have strict rules for grade. Depending on the course the evaluation is based on
participation in class, attendance, quiz, exam and/or paper. Continuous evaluation is done
by course instructors. The Evaluation System of IIT Madras[26] which is also used in other
IITs is the Cumulative Grade Point Average with a scale from 0 to 10 which is converted to
letters:

Letter Grade Grade Points in Words

S 10 Excellent (top students/high performer)

 B 8 Good

C 7 Satisfactory Work

D 6 Below Average

E 4 Poor (but passed)

U 0 Failed

W 0 Shortage of attendance (usually below 85%)

CGPA then gets calculated as the cumulative credit-weighted average of the grade points:
CGPA = (Σ Ci • GPi) / (Σ Ci) where: N is the number of courses Ci is credits for the ith course
GPi is grade points for the ith course CGPA is the cumulative grade point average

The CGPA is not the same as the one commonly used in the United States. In India some
credits might be awarded during Bachelor studies for Co-curricular and Extra-curricular
Activities, while during the Master Programme this is not allowed. Through agreements with
numerous international organisations, IIT grades are accepted from many international
organisations like NTU, NUS and DAAD.

Additionally, the attendance of the students is evaluated with VG for very good (always
present), G for good (not present every lecture) and P for poor (student was present less
than 85% of lectures).

The institute has departments and advanced research centres across the disciplines of
engineering and the pure sciences, and nearly 100 laboratories.

Research programmes concern work undertaken by faculty members or specific research

groups within departments that award an MS or PhD degree. Research is carried out by
scholars admitted into these departmental programmes, under the guidance of their faculty.
Each department makes known its areas of interest to the academic community through
handbooks, brochures and bulletins. Topics of interest may be theoretical or experimental.
IIT Madras has initiated 16 inter-disciplinary research projects against identified focus areas.

The institute maintains academic friendship with educational institutes around the world
through faculty exchange programmes. The institute has signed Memoranda Of
Understanding (MOUs) with foreign universities, resulting in cooperative projects and
assignments.

Through industrial consultancy, faculty and staff undertake assignments for industry that
may include project design, testing and evaluation, or training in new areas of industrial
development. Industries and organisations request the IIT faculty to undertake assignments
channelled through the Centre For Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research (ICSR).

National organisations sponsor programmes of research by funding projects undertaken by

interested organisations, based on the nature of their research and their interest to fund
such projects.

Sponsored projects are often vehicles for new resources within departments, and often
permit their project staff to register for academic degrees in the institute. All sponsored
research activities at the institute are coordinated by ICSR.

Park The IIT Madras Research Park,[27] the first of its kind to be established in India,
functions to propel successful innovation in established companies and provide a nurturing
ecosystem to startups through incubation efforts and technical infrastructure. Following its
success, 50 research parks were planned as part of Start Up India initiative of the Central
Government of India. Corporate clients of IIT Madras Research park include Bharat Heavy
Electricals Limited, Saint-Gobain and Forbes Marshall. Ather Energy, Hyperverge and
Gyandata are some of the startups incubated at the Research Park. The Research Park is
primarily reason why a very large number of startups are incubated at IIT Madras.[28]

To improve the quality of higher education in India, IIT Madras came up with an initiative
called NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning)[29] in the year 2003.
[30]
As per this initiative, all the IITs, along with the IISc Bangalore would come up with a
series of video lecture based courses across all the streams of engineering.[31] This initiative
has gained wide popularity in India and the lectures are being used by several engineering
students from across India. It is the Largest online repository in the world of courses in
engineering, basic sciences and selected humanities and social sciences subjects.

Main article: Shaastra

Shaastra is the annual technical festival of IIT Madras. It is typically held in the second week
of January [32] and is the first ISO 9001:2000 certified student festival in the world. It is
known for its organisation and activities. Forums include the symposia, workshops, video
conferences, lectures, demonstrations, and technical exhibitions. Competitive activities
cover design events, programming, simulations, quizzes, applied engineering, robotics,
junk-yard wars and contraptions.

Main article: Saarang

Saarang is the annual social and cultural festival of IIT Madras. It is a five-day-long event
held in early January every year and attracts a crowd of 70,000 students and young people
from across the country, making it the largest student run fest in India. Saarang events
include speaking, dancing, thespian, quizzing and word games, professional shows
(nicknamed proshows) and workshops on music, fashion, art, and dance. Saarang has been
awarded ISO 9001:2015 certificate recently.

Saarang, is the new name of the festival that was once called "Mardi Gras". It was changed
in 1996 in an effort to reflect the cultural and environmental roots of this festival.

The Entrepreneurship Cell, IITM, abbreviated as E-Cell IITM, is a student run body
responsible for promoting and inculcating a spirit of entrepreneurial thinking among both
and was rechristened in 2015 along with a series of organizational changes in an effort to
promote greater engagement among students.

E-Summit[33] is the flagship event of E-Cell, and is a three-day long event typically held in the
first week of April.[34] It includes a myriad of events and competitions, such as the Startup
Boot Camp, PitchFest and the Intern Fair, and lectures from some of the most eminent
entrepreneurs of India. Past speakers have included the likes of Ritesh Agarwal and Nandini
Vaidyanathan.[35][36]

2017 marked the second installation of E-Summit. It witnessed a footfall of approximately

1000 people from nearly 30 colleges, and it involved over 100 startups.

Launched in 1980, by a group of students with support from the then Director of IIT
Madras, Late Prof. P.V. Indiresan, the main aim of the Extra Mural Lectures series is to
expose the IIT Madras community to the ideas and experiences of eminent personalities
from diverse backgrounds. EML provides a platform for insightful interactions between the
Lama, Chess Grandmaster Vishwanathan Anand, Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli, Honorable
Governor Shri. E.S.L. Narasimhan, Honorable Minister of Railways Shri. Suresh Prabhu, Co-
founder of Infosys Shri. Kris Gopalakrishnan and Ambassador of Japan to India H.E. Mr.
Kenji Hiramatsu have been hosted at IIT Madras for Extra Mural Lectures, to motivate the
students and broaden their perspectives.

Most students at IIT Madras reside in the hostels, where extracurricular activities
complement the academic routine. The campus has 18 hostels, of which four, Sharavati,
Sarayu, Sabarmati and the recently (2017) constructed Tunga are exclusively for women. In
earlier times each hostel had attached dining facilities but all of them have been closed
down. Dining facilities are provided in three centralised halls dubbed 'Nilgiri', 'Vindhya' and
'Himalaya'. The hostels may accommodate undergraduate and graduate students, though
they tend to keep the two apart. Students are assigned to hostels at the time of admission,
where they usually spend their entire stay at the Institute.

The hostels are named after the principal rivers of India and the campus buses used to be
named after mountains, resulting in an epigram about IIT Madras that it is the only place
where the mountains move and the rivers remain still. With the discontinuance of naming
of buses and the mess halls being named Vindhya and Himalaya, this epigram is no longer
meaningful.

The halls of IITM are:

Boys' Hostels

Alakananda Bhadra Brahmaputra Cauvery

Ganga Godavari Jamuna Krishna

Mahanadhi Mandakini Narmada Pampa

Godavari Hostel
Saraswathi Sindhu Tamraparani Tapti

Girls' hostels

Sabarmati Sarayu Sharavathi Tunga

Sindhu, Pampa, Mahanadhi and Tamiraparani are

seven-storeyed whereas all the other (older, classic)
hostels are three or four storeyed. These four hostels
can accommodate more than 1,200 students.[37] The
older hostels were all three-storeyed till the early 2000s
when extra rooms in the form of an extra floor and
rooms above the common room were added. An
additional new floor in the three-storeyed hostels which
generally house the undergraduate students and a new
block in place of the mess halls of these hostels have
Brahmaputra Hostel
been constructed to accommodate for the increased
intake of the students. These new blocks could be used
as entrances for these hostels.
The Sustainability Network (S-Net) is an alumni-student-
faculty initiative launched in May 2009 to sensitise and
highlight the need to preserve the unique niche of one
of the best educational campus in India. S-Net was
envisioned to work towards development and
deployment of solutions for making a self-sustaining
campus (focusing on energy/electricity, water, and waste
management), which could eventually be replicated
across the country through tie-ups with other Deer at IIT Madras, in the open
educational institutions.[38] ground between SAC and the
stadium

The Fifth Estate[39] is the official media body of IIT

Madras and gives an insight into the happenings inside
the campus and important news related to the institute.
The Open Air Theatre hosts the weekly movie, a
Saturday night tradition, besides other activities. It seats
over 7,000.

The National Service Scheme[40] (NSS) in IIT Madras has

been noted for taking up socially relevant initiatives,
taken up as individual projects to create an impact on Blackbuck deer at IIT Madras, IITM is
the society as well as the students. The wing of NSS at also home to Endangered Species of
Blackbuck deer
IITM has over 400 students every year, contributing to
the cause of the scheme. Since its inception, NSS at IITM
has achieved many milestones in its history as a unique,
student-run organisation. Linked with several NGOs and social organisations both within
and outside Chennai. By working out projects from Braille magazines to technology
interventions, from teaching children in urban slums to educational video content, NSS
(IITM) seeks to challenge the mediocre thinking, and reach out into the darkness, to pull a
hand into the light.

Hobby clubs include the speaking club, the astro club, dramatics, music and robotics.

Student bodies such as Vivekananda Study Circle (VSC), Islamic Study Circle, IIT Christian
Fellowship, Genesis and Reflections focus on spiritual discussions.

The campus has evolved a slang, attracting a published Master's thesis at a German
University.[41] A mix of English, Hindi, Telugu (Gult), Malayalam (Mallu) and Tamil (Tam),
aspects of the campus slang have been adopted by some other Chennai colleges.

Unlike its sister institutions, IIT Madras has no single Indian language used among its
students: Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Kannada, English and Hindi are all very
commonly used Consequently all student participatory activities like debating dramatics
short-film making, and others are held in English. This is even reflected in the slang that
uses more of English and other Indian regional languages than Hindi, unlike in IIT-M's
northern counterparts.

IIT Madras provides residential accommodation for its students, faculty, administrative and
supporting staff, and their families. The residential houses employ private caterers. The self-
contained campus includes two schools (Vanavani and Kendriya Vidyalaya), three temples
(Jalakanteshwara, Durga Peliamman and Ganapathi temple), three bank branches (SBI, ICICI,
Canara Bank), a hospital, shopping centres, food shops, a gym, a swimming pool, cricket,
football, hockey and badminton stadiums. Internet is available in the academic zone and the
faculty and staff residential zone. Earlier Internet was limited in hostel-zone from 2:00 pm
till midnight and from 5:00 am to 8:00 am, but increasing demand during academic
semester lead to full day Internet service.[42]

IIT Madras has the fastest super computing facility among educational institutions in India.
The IBM Virgo Super Cluster installed with 97 teraflops was also ranked 364 among the top
500 in world in the Top500 November 2012 list. Apart from this, the institution already has
a super computer with 20 teraflops.[43]

The Heritage Centre was formally inaugurated by Dr

Arcot Ramachandran, former Director IIT Madras on 3
March 2006. The Centre is located on the ground floor
of the administration building. The actual idea of a
Heritage Centre was mooted in the year 2000 and it has
become a reality due to the efforts of the Professor-in-
charge Dr Ajit Kumar Kolar and his team. The Centre will
function as a repository of material of heritage value
and historical significance of various facets of the Entrance of the Heritage Centre at IIT
Institute. Madras

The exhibits include photographs, documents,

publications, paintings, portraits, products developed and other articles. Information
regarding important events, laboratory development, visits of important dignitaries, Indo-
German cooperative activities, and academic achievements of faculty and students also are
included. Aspects of IITM campus features and development, campus life and student
activities are also included, thus broadening the scope of the Centre in the future to non-
academic activities also.

The activities of the Heritage Centre will be of a continuous nature from now on and hence
the support and cooperation of all IITians (students, faculty and staff, past and present) is
very essential in making the Centre meet its goal of preserving IITM history and culture for
the future generations of IITians. By the very nature of the task, the role of the Alumni is
crucial in establishing and furtherance the Centre. There is link of its personal website
