The objective was to highlight the salient features that enabled IIT-M to be ranked as the No.1 among engineering institutions in the India Rankings 2016 and 2017 released by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), Union HRD Ministry. The event, being organized by the Alumni and International Relations office, would help prospective freshmen learn about the campus life at IIT-M and to clear the doubts they might have while going through the counselling process, an IIT-M release on Monday said. Speaking about the event, Prof R Nagrajan, Dean (International and Alumni Relations), IIT-M said "when you visit our campus, you will see why IIT-Madras has been ranked by NIRF as the Best Engineering Institute in the country for two consecutive years.''''We have amazing facilities and top- notch faculty, plus some of the brightest students around. We also host many international students and faculty on campus to give it that global flavour. Our alumni network is strong and supportive'', he added. During the program, there would be briefings about curriculum, facilities, infrastructure, campus culture, festivals, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities as well. The prospective students would also be given an exposure to the breadth of opportunities available at the Institute such as Research, International Exchange, Entrepreneurship, incubation and Placement. The basic idea was to encourage students from classes eight to 12 to take up engineering as a career option and to make them familiar to what a student's daily life in an IIT was. This year's edition was back with many things such as a Campus Tour covering the Centre for Innovation (CFI) and Heritage Centre, Interaction with Students and Alumni, an Introduction to life at IIT Madras by the Institute Branding Cell team members of International and Alumni Relations Student Council.
