the primary objective of the iits, in the words of pandit Jawaharlal nehru was, “to provide scientists and technologists of the highest calibre who would engage in research, design and development to help building the nation towards self reliance in her technological needs”.

in pursuit of fulfilling this objective, iit madras produces graduates, postgraduates and doctoral students of the highest standards. the credentials earned by our alumni stand testimony to this fact and our students continue to remain an important engine of growth for the nation. the slump in the job market which the world saw in the last two years seems to have become history looking at the encouraging placement scenario last year. it is important for students to ensure that they make the right choice in finding a career that suits their inclination. such a choice is increasingly important in the competitive world of today, where innovation will be the greatest key to growth.

our placement office, known for its meticulous work strives to provide an atmosphere conducive for company representatives who are pleased to come back each year to recruit from among the best minds of the nation. i congratulate the staff at the placement office for their contribution to students’ placement and wish our students the very best of luck in their attempts to build purposeful careers in the future.
