Who runs this website, and why?

AskIITM is run by a team of alumni of IIT Madras. The team is lead by Amrut and Amrit from CoreVoice. We started this website when we learnt that aspirants - students who want to join IITs - have questions that are unanswered or answered poorly. We didn't like the idea that students are making life and career choices without credible information.

The smartest and the brightest students enter the IITs - and they deserve to get their questions about IIT Madras answered authentically.
