College Description

It is the best university in India. A lot of research work is going on there. A lot of fun activities along with profound pressure are part and parcel of our daily life. All I can think of are positive remarks.

The course curriculum is very compact. Almost every topic from statistics has been covered along with some additional courses (as elective). There are four semesters throughout the 2 years of course plan and for each semester there is a mid-semester. Also, there are frequent class-tests, called quizzes, that are taken by the respective professors.

With respect to Placement and Job opportunities, IIT Bombay is one of the leading institutes in India. From our department's point of view also, these opportunities are really good. Yes, the college provides internships both academically & industrially. Foreign universities collaborate with IIT Bombay for hiring bright merits for academic internships. I personally was hired by a company - Abzooba for a data analytics role in Pune. My stipend was 35,000 per month for a period of 2 months.

There are a lot of events at our institute. Among innumerable events, some are - 2 phases of PG Cult (postgraduate cultural competition), Techfest, Moodindigo (Asia's biggest college fest), Kaladarshan, PAF (performance art festival), etc.

It is indeed expensive as it is located in a prime place like Mumbai. But there is help available for financially backward people. They also provide those students with laptops. The SC-ST category students get back their mess fees.

There is an M&M (Merit cum means) scholarship for students in financial need. From our department, there is another scholarship that I am offered - the Pfizer scholarship. It is given to 2 of the top students having an M.Sc project based on statistics.

There are general championships for football, cricket, volleyball, etc. This is a competition among all the departments in iit Bombay where anyone from that department can participate. There are dance, music, analytics lab also.

Hostel infrastructure is really good. Although there is scarcity for space as the number of students is quite large with respect to the number of hostels. Some hostels are under construction. The internet facility is the best.

The alumni network is very strong as the students are spread in many universities and companies across the world. While we were preparing for our placement season, the alumni network came forward to give us a hand on experience on how these placement interviews take place.

They are very much qualified indeed. But I have experienced a better quality of teaching in my B.Sc level. But they are quite sound in technical aspects of statistics which help us learning things practically.
