Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is based on mostly the core subjects along with few other electives in order to explore other subjects. One need to complete such electives in order to complete their degree. Being a core enthusiast its really hard for me to score good in those electives as i don't find it that interesting. Curriculum helps us to understand the deep basic concepts while also using some relevant softwares used in real life and solving some real life problems. One who Pays attention to the Courses will gain enough knowledge that they can do some basics problem solving when exposed to industrial environment. however most of the core enthusiast will surely go for post graduate to foreign. The course Curriculum will be improved if we just have to finish certain credits to get the degree and finish certain credit in our selected department. Exams are taken every month in series they are Quiz 1, Mid-Semester, Quiz 2, End-Semester they get difficult as we move foreward as the concept combine
Internships Opportunities
There are all kinds of companies that come for internships. From universities to startups, IIT Bombay provides students with various domains of expertise that are required ib the real world. Although the stipend range is very huge as it depends from one firm to the other, they sure give the needed expertise in the field. These internships and placements are student run body spo that they can cater and address the demand of the students and adapt to the trends in the corporate world. The roles vary from research and development to strategic intern and what not.
Placement Experience
Placements are good indeed especially for non-core jobs. But the tag of IIT Bombay will help you whatever you pursue further in your life. The placement season is in the last but one semester for every student according to their course. The average package sits around 20 to 25 LPA. All the big companies come for placements so there should be no worry regarding the dream company coming to campus or not. The percentage of students getting placed includes a lot of metrics but according to the recent reports the percent of unemployed students is around 10%. I might pursue higher studies.
Fees and Financial Aid
Given that it is a government institution the hike in fee price is not that common. To complete my 4 yr btech degree the total cost will be around 12 lakhs including hostel and mess fees. however it can increase up to 15 lakhs for a dual degree student. There are Several Scholarship and Financial aid provided to the Students, Some of them are Student Merit Cum Means Scholarship (25000/sem), Heritage Fund and many more. Campus employment consists of being Teaching Assistant in a course you have sufficient knowledge about. You can apply for it through a mail and the selection procedure include an interview with the course professor and head professor. Student can gain really useful experience and insight through this scheme.
Campus Life
Techfest and Mood indigo one of the biggest technical fest and cultural fest of Asia respectively, both of them are celebrated in december. E-Summit now has been discontinued. Aavahan is the Sports fest which is celebrated in may this year and the coming years. Library have a variety of books, each variety also have huge number of books. Its like one can find any book in the library and if one is unable they can ask the librarian to apply for that book. Our lecture hall, VMCC and Department buildings have a variety of classroom depending on the number of students that is to be seated in that classroom all of them are equipped with AC and Smartboard with 2-3 big screens. Extracurricular activities are encouraged in campus through a mandatory course of NSS/ NSO/ NCC in first sem. There are several Clubs, Tech teams and Institute Bodies in campus which affect student life by giving them POR as well as experience of the real life working sector. We have great facilities for all of them.
Hostel Facilities
Each room contains 2 desks, 2 bed, 1 almirah, 1 celling fan, 2 tubelights. However the hostel rooms are so small that after accomodating all these things inside the hostel room there is very little space left for anything else. Cant even accomodate 1 more chair as then there will be no place to stand. Some hostels are bigger and can accomodate 1+ chair but then the mess quality degrades. The mess food is healthy but doesn't tastes that good. It feels like they use same gravy for all the curry items. Some mess menu are not that good. Being a north Indian I don't like the menu personally however the menu is made by mess secretary and approved by mess councillor which are students too thus a change in mess menu can be done but there will always be a regional touch. While taking admission only we are registered for hostel and mess however we can opt out for both of these if we want. It costs 17500/sem only for hostel which is quiet affordable. If opting for a room or PG will prefer Powai.
Admission
To be eligible for the course one need to score above 75% in 12th after that only you are eligible to apply for the exam. To get admission in this institution one have to go through the selection procedure. The Selection procedure consists of 2 exams JEE mains and JEE advance. For JEE mains one can apply during november and give 1st session in january and apply in january and give 2nd session in march. Out of these two the one with highest percentile will be considered. If you clear the cut off then you will be eligible to give JEE advance and based on your rank you will be selected for the college. For JEE mains one need to pay the fee of 1000 for each session however if you are SC/ ST/ PwD/ Transgender you only need to pay 500. For JEE advance one pays 3200 where as females and SC/ST/PwD candidate need to pay 1600. Reserved candidates cutoff is also less than that for general and for SC/ ST tuition fee is also waived. JEE advance is harder than JEE mains.
Faculty
There are enough faculty for students and two faculty advisors over 80 students in our department. They helps us in taking right courses and takes several decision that affects our learning process. The faculty is quiet good and consists of well renowned and experienced professors. Each professor have a unique way of teaching some focus more on Assignments and learning new software for real life problems while some believe in deep learning and basics of the concept on which the new concepts can be developed. There are few professors who believe in both and make them run parallely. To interact with professors we can approach them directly after class or can take an appointment through webmail (institute's e-mail id given to each student). In case of any doubts we can approach our TA's (Teaching Assistants) and if they are unable to solve the doubt we can approach the professor.
