For MBBS students, the written test is of Mathematics only The syllabus for this test is in accordance with that of 12th class CBSE.
Pattern: The test pattern comprises both objective and descriptive questions
Minimum Rank in AIPGE- This is extremely subjective as it depends on the applications received during that head. The cutoff is decided based on that only.
IIT Bombay cutoff is slightly lesser but the written test and interview is quite difficult.
What is the most amazing thing you experience while studying at IIT Bombay?
The most amazing thing one can experience at IIT Bombay is the amazing student activities conducted throughout the year to maintain the lively environment of the campus. Students invest a lot of time and effort in these activities to give amazing results. The best part of the year is early December when these activities are at their peak due to the break between 2 semesters.
- A typical day in the week of December begins at 5 am when sports enthusiasts make their way to the sports field to practice for the Inter IIT Sports Meet.
- At 7 am you will see a group of tired students heading back to their hostels after working the entire night. They are organizers of Mood Indigo or Techfest, IITB's cultural and technical festivals respectively.
- By 9 am, students have had their breakfast and head to their respective departments for research projects during holidays.
- By 11 am, a mixed crowd will be seen handing out in the lounges and the student activity center. Some belong to a robotics competition for Techfest or come to a dance or a music group practicing for Mood Indigo.
- Towards the evening events like public lectures by scientists, debate practices, or quizzes are held. By 9 pm, the sports students are returning while student activity students are going to begin their work.
- By 11 pm, the hostels are quiet with only those who are working for fests staying awake. Some students can be seen at the canteen around 3 am munching midnight snacks. You can also spot final-year students dressed in formal walking here and there for campus placements.

- IIT Bombay has better foreign exchange programs than NIT Silchar
- IIT Bombay has richer research culture than NIT Silchar
- The Mood Indigo fest is more vibrant and famous than the Incandescence fest of NIT Silchar
I would suggest you go for IIT Bombay over NIT Silchar any day.
I have got Energy Engineering (Dual) in IIT Bombay and Computer Science in BITS Pilani. What should I opt for?
BITS Pilani has an effective placement support system, especially in the CSE branch, but in the long run, Energy Engineering at IIT Bombay is the best option. CSE is becoming outdated, and you will end up jobless. So, it is better to go with Energy engineering, which may have a lot more opportunities in the future as it majorly focuses on renewable technologies, economics, and management.
The add-on advantage of IIT Bombay over BITS is the DS Centre, which is for students who want to pursue entrepreneurship and SINE, which helps to build up your own company
So, go with the option IIT Bombay in Energy Engineering
Is it better to choose mechanical engineering at IIT Kharagpur or chemical engineering at IIT Bombay?
Getting into IIT is a big achievement only if you manage to choose the right branch for yourself.
You should analyze your ambitions and interests in a particular field and determine what you possibly imagine yourself to be doing in 5 years and then make an informed decision. Clarity of goals is extremely necessary to make this crucial decision of choosing a branch.
If you want to enter politics, then your branch hardly matters.
If you want to become an entrepreneur try to get an idea of the type of company you want to start
Basically, the choice of the branch is strictly a personal preference and cannot be objectively decided.
How is college life at IIT Bombay, apart from the academics?
College life at IIT Bombay is extraordinary apart from the academics. Here are some things you can look forward to:
- Literary Arts: The club is pretty active and you can participate in various events like quizzes, writing, word games, and reading. You can also compete in national competitions and win prizes.

- College Romance: While it's not a club or an event, college romance is a big part of IIT Bombay's culture. You can meet people from other colleges.
Which is better: Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay or Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee?
It would be suggested to pursue Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay rather than Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee.
When it comes to studying physics at IITB, there are some key differences between JEE physics and college-level physics. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- In JEE physics, you study formula derivations after brief explanations of concepts and practice a lot of problems in that topic. College-level physics courses are typically more rigorous in theoretical and mathematical content, and problems are solved to help you understand the concepts more deeply.
- While EE does not have any pure physics courses after the first year, it focuses on making you an electrical engineer. Core courses include analog and digital electronics, signals and systems, network theory, electronic devices, microprocessors, power electronics, and some relevant math courses.
- EP, on the other hand, has core courses like quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, statistics, relativity, classical mechanics, waves and optics, nuclear physics, etc. There are also important math courses up to your second year.
- EP trains you in core physics concepts and prepares you for experimental physics and electronics, giving you many options for your career path. You can work in theoretical or experimental physics, electronics, statistics and stochastics, CS-related research, or pursue higher studies in physics.
- When choosing between IITB and IIT Roorkee, consider factors like the quality of professors, campus culture, and location. IITB has excellent professors, a beautiful campus, and great cultural and sports scenes, and is close to TIFR, which provides opportunities for collaboration.
- When it comes to placements, most EP students go for higher studies because they are passionate about physics. For EE, core and non-core jobs are similar to those for other courses in terms of job security and salary packages.
Finally, the "brand" of IITs, especially IIT Bombay, provides a sense of job security that can be reassuring for graduates.
Which is better for CSE, IIT Bombay or IIT Kharagpur?
The quality of Education, the faculty pool, and even the lab facilities offered at both IITs are similar. There might be slight differences as far as internships are concerned because the top companies with coding profiles visit both IITs but the interview process is quite different.
The main reason for this difference is the location of both institutes. In the case of IIT Kharagpur, recruiters prefer taking a skype interview than personally visiting the campus because of the isolated location of the institute. This plays against the favor of IIT Kharagpur as face-to-face interviews are way better than online interviews. Online interviews do not convey the information and expressions rightly and there is a communication gap.
Companies tend to judge IITs based on rankings which depend on their respective placements. For instance, the same profile and role are offered with a higher package at IIT Kharagpur but with a lower package at other IITs.
While IIT KGP CSE has a wide scope if you have achieved a top JEE Rank and have managed to get into IIT Bombay, go for it.
