It is a very cheap organization which treats their employees like dogs at its gates. iitm does not allow employees to bring own vehicles into a 600 acres campus. We are overly charged for vehicle passes which is a pain to apply and get. Very slow and unfriendly staffs all over.

Sometimes the work done by a staff gets stealed by someone else. His/her work and effort goes unnoticed as the boss is busy with number of research works and others. Thus, one works and some other gets the name and opportunity for better jobs or studies.
