The Life at the most prestigious Instititute (IIT BOMBAY)

Dislikes

The professors even though are good at the subject they lack the ability to explain it clearly.
The classes are really huge, which makes the class always distractive.

Student Snaps:

Faculty:

Even though the faculty to student ratio is high, in practice the number of students in a class is way difficult for a professor to handle. The exams are mostly way difficult than the material they teach in class, even which we stuggle to grasp.

Life at IIT Bombay : In and Out

There are 44 faculty in my department, and there are around 800 students entirely. Prof Sanjay Mahajani is by far the best faculty of my departmnt and it is a privilage to be in his class. Some faculties re strict and focus more on policies, but overall, even if you are stuck at basics, the faculties put in their 100 percent efforts if the students reach out to them. The exam pattern is genrally 4 quizzes of 20 percent 30 percent midsem and 50 percent endsems.

Bhargava's magic

The professors clarity over the subject they teach and their intuitive explanation skills are good.

The faculty to student Ratio is generally dependent on the type of course , on an average it's about 1:15 . The names of the professors i liked are joseph john and swapnil mahajan , the reason I liked them is because of their explanation skills and their grip over the concept . I did not like anu narasimhan as she is a bit arrogant towards the students For every course there are around 2-3 quizzes and midsem , endsem . Very few people tend to fail , the courses are very much relevant to our branches

IIT Bombay

iit bombay has a faculty student ratio of 18.9 . Most of the professors are very approachable. The exams are all decided by the designated prof for the course as they have full freedom on evaluation and teaching process. There could be courses with no exams at all(although rare)

Also the staffs they are not much supportive or trying to help the principal he struggles sometimes

IITB-A NEW LIFE

classes are very big. the professors are excellent and everything you have learnt will be tested atleast once in 2-3 weeks.

faculty is sometimes they teach 350 student in a class which is somewhat difficult in interacting with them but each and every course have teaching assistances where they will help us to reach out from any difficulties related to that particular subject.
