IITB at glance.

The course for electrical engineering goes into basics but is all-encompassing including core electrical and mathematics, physics, chemistry, CS, labs, courses like management and philosophy, NCC, nss, and sports. I chose EE because of its practicality and its ability to combine with other courses like CS, MnC, civil, chemical, etc. to innovate. The curriculum prepares us well for further studies in college and outside and provides us with solid base knowledge for further studies. The classes are divided into 5 days, I have 2-3 classes on some days and have 6-7 on others.

Seats for the EE BTech 4-year course start with the sc category rank around 100 in JEE Advanced to 160 something. There is a certain percentage of seats reserved for SC, ST, PWD, EWS, and females. Seats in IITs require clearing of JEE Advanced with minimum cutoff marks set by IITs. After the result of the exam, there is a counseling session held by Josaa which is fully online. The counselling fee was 20000 rs at my time and it may rise by 1-1.5 k in subsequent years. The exam of JEE Advanced is held annually and it's required to clear JEE Mains to be eligible to appear for it. It's considered the toughest exam in india along with UPSE and CSE and also one of the toughest entrance exams in the whole world so difficulty can be estimated.

Although faculty to student ratio is quite large but it's still small compared to many other colleges. It doesn't have much impact on the learning experience as anyone can raise their doubts anytime during or even after the class by directly going to a specific professor's college room. The faculty members are well known throughout the country and some are world famous too. The faculty members are selected after a rigorous process needing not only awesome qualifications but teaching experience also. One can interact with them in class or even outside the class while on the way. The professors are really approachable and they even encourage students to approach them.
