Average, median, placement-rate and branch-wise figures shown here are for B.Tech (undergraduate) programmes only — the entry route most relevant to JEE aspirants. They exclude M.Tech, MS, M.Sc, MA, MBA and PhD cohorts. Branch-wise averages are from the official IIT Madras CPC Annual Report 2024-25 (CTC Summary, B.Tech column). Branches without a B.Tech programme (e.g. Chemistry, Mathematics, Humanities, Management) are therefore not listed.
