How is life while doing M.Tech at IIT?

Namrata Das
Arka DattaLives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

The following answer is based on a day in the life of an Engineering student at IIT Bombay’, an extract written by my friend to share her experience on the same.

  • You wake up at 9:15 to realize that breakfast will be over in 15 minutes so you rush to the washroom and get ready for breakfast.
  • Once you reach the mess, you get to eat the very decent breakfast offered till 10 am. Once you are done with breakfast, you go to the lab.
  • At around 10:15 you reach the lab and gossip with your friends for a few minutes. 
  • After wasting an hour, you start working and by 12:15 you realize you need a coffee break.
  • By 1 pm you have had coffee with snacks and decide to skip lunch.
  • You keep working in the lab till 6: 30 and decide to return to the hostel.
  • You hail a Tum-Tum, which is a bus service within the campus of IIT Bombay.
  • You do leisure activities during the evening and then go to Gulmohar for dinner
  • At night you call up to check with your parents
  • After this, you chat with your friends or watch your favorite series.
  • After this, you fall asleep late at night to restart the same schedule the next day.

Life at IIT Bombay is not as hectic as people describe it to be and you get to spend a lot of time doing your favorite things and hanging out with friends.

How are the hostel rooms at IIT Bombay?

Pratik GandhiB.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

IIT Bombay has 3 kinds of hostel facilities for undergrads

    1. Fresher year hostel - Hostel 15-16: In the rooms of these hostels, the kitchens are too small and you just have your own bare space. Some rooms have an additional free space in your room while others have more than enough space for you and your roommate.
    2. Senior Hostel (for the rest male undergraduates): The rooms are a bit better than Fresher hostels with an additional store room. However, this store room is very small in most cases. There is an additional space apart from your own room and your roommates.
  • Senior Hostel (for the rest female undergrads): Girls' hostel rooms have the maximum space and the best facilities. 

At the end of the day, the size of your hostel room hardly matters in your college life. You get habitual after a few months and it becomes the smallest issue.

Who are the best professors at IIT Bombay? Why?

Adwait Tejasstudied Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (2021)

Based on my friends' experience, the best professor at IIT Bombay is Professor R. K. Shevgaonkar. He was once a director of II Delhi who left his post because he was strictly against breaking his principles and ethics. He was a man of ethics. He joined IIF Bombay recently and my friend was taught the course EE301- Electromagnetic Waves by him.

The fact that the course book itself was written by the same professor who taught it brought magic to the classroom experience. The students probed challenging questions to the professors and he was the only one who answered each question clearly and precisely. He appreciates the students' thirst for learning and love for the particular subject.

He once told his students that it doesn’t really matter what everyone becomes after leaving IIT, but until they are sitting in his class, they all are electrical engineers. This impressed my friend and he became his favorite professor ever since then.

The exam papers set by him were not monotonous but quite challenging and provoked the students to study harder. He held quizzes to assess the child’s knowledge and abilities.

He is a highly respected professor at IIT Bombay, and because of his immense fame and fandom, the subject taught by him has become everyone’s favorite. He was never strict during classes but his classes were so intriguing that one could not help but pay complete attention.

Praver Katyal
Pratik GandhiB.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

The quality and standard of the food are pretty good at IIT Bombay. However, after a few days, your tastebuds will get bored and you will crave something new. This is when the canteen comes to the rescue that functions till three in the morning.

The variety and the quality also vary from hostel to hostel. For instance, in hostel 18 the quality and the taste of the food is much better than in other hostels. A brief overview of the food served at various mails is given below.

  • Breakfast: Tea fruits, rice with an additional curry.

Which is a better place to study, IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay?

Sabeer Chalana
Sumit BoseIIT Bombay (2019)

Without any second thoughts, I consider IIT Bombay a much better option than IIT Delhi. Some reasons that speak in favor of my opinion are

  • IIT Bombay enjoys a higher locational advantage as well as a better-equipped campus.
  • While both IITs have a decent Research culture, IIT Bombay is at a level higher than IIT Delhi in this aspect. It has a larger number of Papers and Patents to its credit.
  • The ambiance at IIT Bombay is rather chill with no strict rules and regulations. You are free to do anything and no restrictions are imposed on dress code or LAN.
  • IIT Bombay has a better climate than IIT Delhi.
  • IIT Bombay enjoys the advantages of being a Financial capital with additional opportunities for the non-core sector.
  • IIT Bombay has a few BS programs like BS Economics, Mathematics, and Chemistry which are not present in IIT Delhi. These programs are a bridge between engineering and applied science and render a wide scope of research and at the same time, applied fields.
  • IIT Delhi has extra BTech programs like BTech Textile, BTech, and BioTech. The students of these programs usually go for non-core jobs and corporate life.
  • IIT Bombay welcomes a number of eminent personalities. Some recently invited personalities include PM Narendra Modi, Brett Lee, Sadhguru, Yami Gautam.
  • IIT Bombay has amazing hostels for freshers.

So both the institutes are elite in their own essence but nowadays IIT Bombay is a clear winner between the two.

Kumar Shiwam
Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Choosing one between IIIT Hyderabad and IIT Bombay for CSE will depend on your personal preferences since both the institutes are highly regarded especially in the field of Computer Science. Always remember that your success rate is directly proportional to your efforts and not your college. 

Consider the following aspects and the preferred choice in each of them

  • Both the institutes have equally good placements for the average students while IIT Bombay has better opportunities for toppers.
  • If you value brand name and tag then IIT Bombay is the obvious choice.
