he IITs are known for academic excellence and their unique culture of Trigorous intellectual pursuits. The work

and contributions of the faculty and alumni of IIT Madras have earned worldwide acclaim and recognition. Given India's socio-economic vision and the thrust to promote our products and services into the arena of world class competition, there is an obvious need for top quality managerial talent. While we have fine institutions producing excellent managerial talent, there is a strong need for more fine institutions and excellent managers.

In this context, our Institute's MBA programme is timely and an important addition to the management education system in our country. Our programme is uniquely structured in which core and elective courses dealing with concepts, analytical and quantitative methodologies, functional specializations, industrial and b u s i n e s s d o m a i n s , p r o f e s s i o n a l development, and industrial/business projects are offered. Our pedagogy is a well-balanced mix of lectures, case studies, assignments, simulations, group exercises, seminars, and live projects that enables all our students to realize their potential to become excellent managers. Our full-time and visiting faculty members form an eclectic mix in terms of academic expertise and professional experience. They collectively bring in methodological mastery, intellectual rigour, business perspectives and practical experience into the educational process.

The alumni of our department continue to make significant contributions through their work, and have earned laurels for themselves as well as the organizations they work for. Many are now engaged as employees or consultants with some of the globally most reputed organizations located in different continents.

The most important finishing touch to our programme and its symbiotic relationship with the corporate world would not be a reality without the active support of many practicing managers and executives. We look forward to more continuous support from the corporate world and together we shall dedicate ourselves to continuously improving our nation's development and competitiveness.

I opted for DoMS, IIT Madras because it offered all the essential principal skills/tools, which are necessary to turn raw talent into a well-rounded business professional willing to seize the moment and hit the ground running.

The faculty at DoMS was awe inspiring and consistently ensured that we were pushed beyond our comfort zone. What really struck me was the phenomenal wealth of industry experience each one of the faculty members brought to the classroom. This accompanied with regular interaction with industry leaders through sessions like CEO Connect etc went a long way in making sure we were exposed to the real world business problems and challenges. The teaching methodology was never didactic and almost always ensured excellent class participation which encouraged diverse thoughts, opinions and more importantly lateral thinking.

Looking back now, I would certainly consider the two grueling, intense, stimulating and exciting years at DoMS, IIT Madras as the best investment of my time. Over the last Six years, I have successfully navigated through the corporate world taking up numerous complex and challenging roles in global firms by leveraging the skills/education that I had imbibed during my days at DoMS, IIT Madras and I am forever indebted to my alma mater and my mentors for that.

Name: Prashant JanawadeCompany: eBay, San Jose, CADesignation: Senior Product Manager

I am a proud alumnus of the DoMS, IIT Madras, from the batch of 2005-2007. I am a staunch believer that the crucial decisions we take at the cross roads of our student life determine how the rest of our professional career pans out. Selecting the right B-school to invest two precious years is one such critical decision and needless to say it gets all the more complicated if you have multiple schools to choose from!

Thankfully for me, I was diligent and knew better to look beyond the superficial gloss of incredulous B-school rankings, fake/inaccurate placement figures and instead concentrate on the four fundamental and substantive parameters that mattered the most i.e. faculty (in your area of specialization), industry-academia interaction, case study based methodology and last but not the least a tight knit community of

[DOMS, IIT Madras,

For me , the DOMS, IIT Madras experience centered around UNLEARNING all that i had learnt before in my career as a Software Professional and think from a clean slate.

This was catalyzed by these fascinating dialogues / experiences that i had interacting with some of the most brilliant professors, students across varied and beautiful milieus at DOMS, IIT Madras.

Now as a Construction Consultant (from "clicks to bricks"!) i am put in a different situation every two months - whether it is to turn around a power plant construction project vis-a-vis time overruns or optimize construction costs for a mega township project. The ability to "clean sheet your mind" and come up with new "unthought" ideas has been instilled in me by DoMS.

Curriculum, Subjects all seem secondary in comparison to this wonderful experience of being in an environment that helps uncondition your mind and think differently.

Chennai is located on the eastern coastal plains overlooking the “Bay of Bengal” is famous for having one of the largest beaches around the world. Known to be deeply rooted to its cultural ethos, love and passion for its native language, music and dance, Chennai is also a major auto hub, often called the Detroit of India. With a broad industrial base; being India's second largest exporter of IT and BPO services; with more than 80 engineering colleges; being the epicentre of Carnatic music and other forms of arts, Chennai continues to grow exponentially, but still retains its culture heritage.

“Singara” Chennai as it is called by the ones who love it, is a city without any prejudices and falling in love with it is inevitable. Chennai is famous for its great beaches, public transport, beach resorts, sea food, inexpensive movie tickets (one can watch a movie for 10 bucks!!!), weekend trekking getaways, closeness to Pondicherry, T-Nagar shopping and many more. The climate is known to be harsh during summer months which give all the more reason to spend time on the exotic beaches.

IIT Madras is located at a prime spot in Adyar area of Chennai. We have listed the following ways to reach this educational capital of the city -

?From Airport - You can either hire a prepaid cab /taxi or hire a auto from the Airport.

?From Chennai Central Railway Station - You can hire a prepaid cab/auto from outside the railway station. You can also catch the local train from Park Town station (opposite to the Central Railway Station), board the one going towards Thiruvanmiyur or Velachery and get down at KasturiBai Nagar station. IIT Madras campus is walking distance from there.

Alternatively, you can also board the bus numbered 21G (it's an AC bus) from right outside the railway station. Get off the bus at Gandhi Mandapam stop. IIT Madras is walking distance from there.

?From CMBT/Koyambedu bus terminus – You can hire a pre-paid auto from outside the terminus. You can also get on any bus going to Mamallapuram (568C) or Thiruvanmiyur (23M) and get off at CLRI bus stop. IIT Madras is right opposite to CLRI.

Once you reach the main gate and are not on any auto/taxi, you can board the campus bus to reach DoMS. Get off the campus bus at Gajendra Circle (a round-about with elephant statues) and take a left there. You'll see DoMS right there. Campus bus service runs only till 9 p.m.

And whenever in doubt, don't hesitate, you can ask anyone around and they would guide you to IIT Madras and DoMS!
