The Experience

A day inside one of India's most extraordinary campuses

Demo Day is not a PR event. It's a genuine behind-the-scenes look at IIT Madras — the departments, the labs, the people. You'll leave knowing exactly what kind of place you're choosing.

🎓

Department presentations

Hear directly from faculty and students of every BTech, Dual Degree, and BS programme — what the department is about, what students build, and where they go.

⚡

Tour CFI — where Ather was born

Walk through India's largest student-run innovation lab. See 13 clubs and 6 competition teams at work — robotics, EVs, hyperloop, rockets, and more.

🏛️

Heritage Centre visit

Explore the history of a campus that has shaped India's scientific and engineering identity since 1959.

🦌

Campus buggy tour

Hop on an electric buggy and explore the beautiful IIT Madras campus. Spot deer, blackbucks, and lots of monkeys. Get to know the top campus hangouts.

🎙️

Interaction with the Director

The day closes with Padma Shri Prof. V. Kamakoti, IITM's Director, taking questions live — directly from JEE aspirants and their families.

☕

High tea with students

Informal time with current students and alumni. No prepared answers. Just real conversations about life at IITM.
