For the first time, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) is inviting 200 all-India rankers of Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2025 to visit the campus in Chennai, and will provide air travel with one parent for each student. The aim of the visit is to allow the best engineering aspirants across the country to have a closer look at IIT Madras, its campus, academic facilities, and possible opportunities available from one of India’s premier institutions.
The hope is it will help students make an informed choice prior to them declaring their IIT and course preferences at counselling. Every year after the announcement of JEE Advanced results, top rankers are courted by many IITs with outreach programs, alumni meets, and face-to-face counselling.
Yet, IIT Madras is going even further this year to go above and beyond by also covering the airfare cost of the student and the student’s parents. The visit will provide a guided campus tour, interaction sessions, lab tours, hostel tours, and meet current students and alumni.
A spokesperson from IIT Madras in conversation with the media said, “We want to provide an experience to welcome them and show them what it’s really like to have a life here, not just in terms of academics, but in terms of community, research, and support.” The students being invited will also be presented with IIT Madras’s latest ventures into modern research, innovation labs, entrepreneurship cells, and global partnerships.
Many top rankers and their parents appreciated this move. “We read Lots of things about IIT Madras. But being there provides us clarity. It is comforting to walk through the labs, see the hostels and talk to professors directly,” said a parent from Mumbai.
JEE ADVANCED RESULT 2025
The JEE Advanced 2025 results were released on June 2 by IIT Kanpur, the organizing institute for this year’s exam. Out of the 1.8 lakh students candidates who appeared in both Paper 1 and Paper 2, more than 54,000 qualified for ranking.
Rajit Gupta from the IIT Delhi zone secured the full marks of 332 out of 360 marks and secured the All India Rank 1. He had previously secured full marks in both sessions of JEE Main as well.
Following Rajit, with the same score of 332 was Saksham Jindal and with a score of 330, was Majid Mujahid Husain, who secured All India Rank 2 and All India Rank 3, respectively. The announcement of the results was followed by the release of the final answer key and the opening of JoSAA counselling registration from June 3.
As competition continues to rise among IITs to secure talent, the IIT Madras initiative may set a new movement in student outreach — one that replaces brochures and rankings with experience and engagement.
