Yes, joining a joint program with IIT Madras can improve your placement prospects and may benefit your post-study work visa (PSW) opportunities, especially for the UK.

- Placements: IIT Madras has a strong placement record, with over 90% of graduates placed in the 2024-25 academic year. A joint program can enhance your profile and make you more attractive to employers due to its academic reputation and international exposure.
- Post-study work visa (UK): Eligibility for the UK Graduate Visa depends on whether your degree is awarded by a recognized UK institution. Some joint programs - like those co-awarded by a UK university and IIT Madras - are designed to meet UK visa requirements, but this varies by program.

Confirm the specific program’s recognition and eligibility for UK visa rules, as these details are subject to change.
