Economics at IIT Bombay

Exam schedule is given way before the exams so there is no confusion and difficulty is moderate and will require 1 day efforts. Also the overall course difficulty is lower compared to branches like mechanical, electrical etc

There are a lot of internship opportunities through the pt cell. Almost 80% of the companies which come in placements come for the internship season. Although, a person's chance of getting internship through campus is lower when compared to placement season. But this is Mumbai and you are part of IIT Bombay so you can get internships easily externally.

It's IIT Bombay so placements are good enough. A lot of companies visit here giving various positions. In the first semester of final year placements happen and it is also easy to get job outside also. Most of the package fall between 9 to 16 lakhs. Mean package of 2024 batch is around 16 lakhs

Fees without scholarship is high but scholarship is easy to get and amount of scholarship depends on which slab your family income falls into. I generally pay around 70000/year which includes both tuition and hostel fees thanks to the mcm scholarship.

Life at campus is chill and various bigger fest happen during December and January like Mood Indigo, TechFest, E summit etc. Facilities are top class and everything you may want is readily available nearby. There are various clubs so you can explore your interests and also compete with people with similar interests in various activities. Almost every club is student run and so lot of positions of responsibility are available. Sports facilities are also high standard and is updated now due to the recent inter iit conducted here. All kinds of sports are played and the quality of players is also high. If you are new to the sport so don't worry there are lot of casual players and lot of sports intro sessions are conducted. Although there are some cons like you have to change hostels 3 times in 4 years and second and third year hostels are not that good compared to the first and final year hostels but still they all while be memorable. Classes, libraries, reading halls,are also top class.

First and final year hostels are top class but the second and third year hostels are not good enough according to the space and facilities but every hostel will be memorable. You have to change hostels 3 times during the your span here. You get only essentials inside the room like fan, desk, almirah and a chair. Total cost of hostel including mess facilities is Rs 75000 per year which is very affordable. Quality of food in the mess is decent.

Admission process is through JEE Advanced rank so no need of improvement but maybe some branch introductory sessions before the selection process to help people decide a perfect branch according to their interests.
