Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) Faculty and Alumni will meet JEE candidates and their parents in Delhi on 5th June 2025 at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre.
This initiative is part of the ‘Demo Day’ events that are being held in both Physical Mode in several cities across India as well in Online mode.
This will be an opportunity for them to interact with current students, faculty, and alumni and receive authentic and up-to-date information directly from the source. Physical events will be held at Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Vijayawada and Hyderabad.
Interested JEE Candidates are advised to register at the earliest since there are only a limited number of seats at these events. Those interested can register on the following website – https://www.askiitm.com/demo-day
Through the Demo Day events, students can also seek clarification about recent changes, like the introduction of new courses. IIT Madras has introduced two new B.Tech. Programmes – Computational Engineering and Mechanics (CEM) and Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering (iBME) – besides a B.Tech in AI and Data Analytics (AIDA) that was introduced last year.
Elaborating on the event, Prof. Prathap Haridoss, Dean (Academic Courses), IIT Madras, said, “This will be the fourth year of AskIITM, and every year we are seeing thousands of aspirants and parents eagerly taking part. The Demo Day is part of the AskIITM initiative, designed and run by alumni and students. In addition to these events, aspirants can ask questions on the website www.askiitm.com about courses, faculty, campus life, placements and more. A team of alumni and student volunteers will answer them.”
Aspirants can also browse through existing answers. Additionally, the team has put up more than 400 videos on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/askiitm/) and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@askiitm) about various topics on the Institute.
SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID
IIT Madras Alumni and CSR partners have rallied together to provide financial support to 100% of BTech students whose annual parental income is in the ‘Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh’ category for two consecutive years (2022-23 & 2023-24).
The ‘Merit-cum-Means’ (MCM) Scholarship is one among the numerous financial assistance and scholarship support provided to students by IIT Madras, the Central and State Governments. SC/ST students admitted to the BTech program are exempted from paying tuition fees, irrespective of their parental income.
This support frees up the students to focus completely on their studies and future academic pursuits without having to worry about their financial situation or education loans.
