How are metallurgy placements at IIT Madras?

The Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is one of the oldest having been started in the same year as the Institute. Its teaching, research, and consultancy activities spread across various fields ranging from conventional metallurgy to frontiers of materials science.

However, IIT Madras lacks core companies for every branch for placements. The same is the case with the Metallurgy department. Students should be encouraged from the beginning of their course for placements. In the worst-case scenario, only a single student gets placed in a core company. 

The average salary package offered was barely INR 6 LPA. 

The placements for the core jobs are concerned, chances are rare as the number of roles offered is very less. However, there are numerous non-core job opportunities offered in Metallurgy.
