IIT Madras: 3 Answered Questions

How was your experience of doing an MS in the mechanical engineering department at IIT Madras?

Tithi BanerjeeB.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2021)

My brother pursued his MS in Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras back in 2016 and these are some of his experiences for the overall MS program offered at IIT Madras-

The MS program at IIT Madras is extremely fulfilling for students who want to pursue a career in research by going for a Ph.D. and Post Doc.
The MS program is different from the M.Tech program. The M.Tech program is highly coursework oriented and is a better choice for securing a job.
IIT Madras has, over the years, made efforts to give MS graduates an equal chance at placements.
MS students tend to focus a lot more on their thesis as compared to M.Tech students.
MS students are given an extra year to submit their thesis (2+1).
An MS student, by the time of placement, will have worked extensively on a scientific topic and published at least one article in a reputed journal, or his article will be under review.
This research work holds benefits during placements. The MS student’s CV is made impressive and data analysis and scientific reporting skills are highlighted. A little smart work will help you convince your interviewer of how these skills make you a suitable candidate for the offered position.
Very few IITs offer an MS degree and many employers are unaware of this course.
The MS degree becomes demanding and tough because you need to get an article published in an international journal to obtain your degree.

Though not specific to the Mechanical branch, I hope this information about the MS program at IIT Madras helped you gain important insights regarding the same.

How should I prepare for MS Mechanical test at IIT Madras?

Tushar Banerjeestudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras

The written test for MS Mechanical has 3 major topics to choose from: Design; Thermal; and Manufacturing.

The section you chose has to be necessarily the same for both written and interview. There are a total of 12 questions in the written test - 10 questions from chosen section and 2 questions from Maths.

Every question carries equal marks (2 marks). Usually, 8 questions are numerical based while the rest 4 are theoretical. Numerical questions were based on engineering topics like SOM, Tom, and Mechanics while theoretical questions were highly conceptual. One has to answer around 8-9 questions to get shortlisted for the interview

Once the shortlisted candidates' list is released, you are required to go for document verification. You will be informed of your interview date as well. You might be asked to bring a copy of your first-year project along with you and will be asked questions related to it.

Once summoned, you will be asked to select 3 different projects out of 3 different specializations. (Thermal/design/manufacturing) for the MS course. You will be asked basic questions from the topic you have prepared beforehand and sometimes additional mathematics questions are also asked.

Overall, the interview is not as difficult as it seems and enough preparation will get you through.
