IIT Bombay: 25 Answered Questions

What was the toughest course you took at IIT Bombay?

Advait JoshiLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

There is a course called CS207 Discrete Structures taught by Professor Ajit Diwan. It was related to Discrete Mathematics - Number Theory, Graph Theory, Combinatorics, Sets, and Groups, and was one of the most difficult courses my friend came across.

Professor Diwan is well known for his highly challenging problems and course material. During his lectures, he delivers a lot of information based on principles. For math lovers, his classes are an absolute delight.

He refrains from conducting more than one exam a month. However, the level of difficulty of the exam is high. The questions look very complicated but when one ponders upon them, they don’t seem that difficult.

The exams were extremely difficult to the extent that the passing cutoff was 7 out of 100 marks. Despite the entire batch consisting of JEE toppers, a lot of them were not able to make it to the cutoff.

What are the total fees for an MTech in IIT Bombay?

Sumit BoseIIT Bombay (2019)

Admission to MTech students is given under 3 categories at IIT Bombay.

TA (Teaching Assistantship)
RA (Research Assistantship)
Sponsored Candidates

Teaching Assistantship

The fees for the first semester is higher than that of other semesters. The estimate is around 50-60k and includes everything; tuition, hostel, and mess. The table below shows the IIT Bombay MTech fees structure (2022) for the first semester only

Total M.Tech Fee for General/EWS OBC Category

Concessional Tuition Fee - 20,250 Per

Semester

Non- concessionalTuition Fee -

Fee: Rs. 40,250 Per Semester

Total M.Tech Fee for SC/ ST Category

Rs. 15,250 Per Semester

Second and third-semester fees are comparatively lower but the final semester fees rise again mainly due to placement fees and convocation fees.

Hostel Fees: IIT Bombay hostel fee is INR 34,050 which includes Mess caution money, Hostel seat rent, Electricity & water charges, and Mess advance. Thus the total MTech fees remain anywhere between INR 180000 to INR 200000.

If you think this fee is high then here is an important piece of information for you.

TA students get a stipend of around INR 12,400 every month i.e INR 74,400 per semester, which is much better than per semester fee. In 2 years, the student gets roughly INR 2,88,000.

Research Assistantship: Fees for the RA category are different. The duration of MTech for RA students is 3 years and they also get a stipend.

Sponsored category: The fees for these students are the highest and they do not get any stipend as they are sponsored by a company.

How is the energy systems engineering branch of IIT Bombay for an MTech?

Parvez KhanPh.D. (Research Scholar) in Solar Thermal at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IITB)

Department of Energy Sciences at IIT Bombay is among the newest in comparison to Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering but its demand is increasing in a fast-paced manner. The reason is the shift in the demand from conventional to non-conventional forms of energy resources.

Faculty: The faculty is one of the best in the country. The HOD is a member of the Niti Aayog advisory board. Most professors and alumni have their own startups worth millions while some

Associate Professors who have joined recently are PhDs from MIT.

Curriculum: The introduction of the department gives you a general picture of the course. You are required to complete 12 courses in these 4 semesters out of which 6 are electives. These 6 electives can be from almost any branch in IIT Bombay based on your personal choice.

Placements: The placements are pretty good and most students go for their own startups. The packages range around 11 LPA. Companies from a number of branches come for placements such as data analysts, core energy, energy consultancy, etc.

MTech Energy Engineering Course Highlights

Particulars	Statistics
Course Fee	INR 50,000 - INR 2,59,000
Average Salary	INR 3.75 LPA - INR 15 LPA
Job Positions	Energy Efficiency Engineer, Technical Resource Manager, Test & Balance Engineer, Lecturers/ Professors etc
Top Recruiters	BHEL, Aditya Birla Group, Ezon Energy Solutions, Fission Labs, Accenture, M&M, Siemens, etc

What is the difference between the B-Des programme at IIT-Bombay and the B-Des programme at IIT-Guwahati?

suhanaStudent At IIT Bombay

I am a first-year BDes student at IIT Bombay. Design is one of the fastest-growing departments of our institution. My seniors achieved 71% placements in 2023. Top companies like Microsoft, Samsung R&D, Flipkart, Uber etc. offered campus placements to B.Des students in the previous year.

Here is a comparison table for IIT Bombay BDes vs IIT Guwahati BDes:

Parameters	IIT Bombay B-Des	IIT Guwahati B-Des
NIRF 2023 Ranking	#4 (Overall)	#9 (Overall)
Tuition Fee	INR 1 Lakh per semester (Nil for SC/ST/PwD students) For more details- https://www.iitb.ac.in/newacadhome/fee_structure_2024_UG_New_EntrantsAutumn.pdf	INR 1 Lakh per semester (Nil for SC/ST/PwD students) For more details- https://www.iitg.ac.in/acad/admission/imp_info/fee.php
B.Des Curriculum	Applied Science, semiotics, communication theories, visual studies, etc.	Form Studies, Representation Techniques, Ergonomics, Typography, etc.
Placement Percentage	71%	74%
Average Package	INR 18 LPA	INR 20.59 LPA
Top Recruiters	Microsoft, Samsung R&D, Flipkart, Uber etc.	Sprinklr, Ola, Various UI/UX roles, etc.

As evident from the above statistics, the B.Des programs at IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati are equally good.

But IIT Bombay is located in one of the major Indian cities. The advantage of opting for B.Des programme at IIT Bombay is that you’ll get much better off campus opportunities. Moreover, Bombay is closer to other important cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, etc.

Thus, I would recommend you join the B.Des program at IIT Bombay.

How is the operation research MSc and PhD dual degree in IIT Bombay?

Advaith BhaskarLives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

The course Operations Research offered at IIT Bombay is an integrated Ph.D. course.

Duration: The course duration is 6 years, while the minimum is 5 years. It depends on how much time you take to complete your PhD. You can even extend it more than 6 years but won’t be receiving any stipend for the same. Another option is to opt out of an MSc degree after 3 years.

Compensation: Students are paid around INR 6000/- month for 2 years and then INR 25000 from third year.

Department: This course is offered by the IEOR( Industrial Engineering and Operations Research) department of IIT Bombay which is considered the best in India.

Courses: The courses offered are Industrial Engineering related and some pure operations research related. There are a large number of project courses since this is a research-oriented course. After successfully completing the first 3 years you get admission to a Ph.D. program provided that you qualify certain prerequisites.

Purpose of the course: The course targets students who are interested in research and stimulate them to pursue a career in Operations Research. Some students, however, instead sit for placements after the third year with an MSc degree and don’t go for Ph.D.

Placements: There is no use to mention placement as most of the small batch size opts out of placements to pursue PhD.

Suitability: The course is most suitable for those who are sure of kick-starting a career in research. You get to work on various projects under the guidance of great professors.

Selecting the best PhD advisor is very necessary to ensure a good career. The same professor then gives you a PhD in very less duration or even drags the time unnecessarily. The best part is that you don't need to clear any PhD entrance like UGC CSIR and can easily get a PhD admit with few formalities and end up with a doctorate degree in less than 6 years.

Can we do a part time PhD in IIT Bombay?

Sumit BoseIIT Bombay (2019)

Yes, you can definitely do a part time PhD in IIT Bombay. All you need to do is apply as an external category candidate.

Major highlights of part-time PhD in external category

A supervisor from IIT B is assigned
A supervisor from outside is selected
Coursework depends on the qualifying degree (B.Tech, M.Tech, MBA, etc.) and the criteria varies accordingly.
For SJMSOM, IIT Bombay- A minimum of 52 credits is required if the candidate is not having an MBA (Not PGDM) and 40 credit is required if the candidate is having an MBA.
You can go and attend classes and don’t have to necessarily leave the job
Once the course period is completed, you get admission as a PhD Candidate and you can meet your guide as per your need.

Applications for part time PhD are accepted twice a year for Autumn and Spring Semester.

How many fees are there at IIT Bombay?

Sumit BoseIIT Bombay (2019)

IIT Bombay BTech fees are (Only Tuition)

General and OBC candidates: INR 900000
SC/ST/PwD candidates: 125000

I have tabulated the detailed IIT Bombay fees structure (per semester) below

Fees Per Semester	INR 1,19,750
Hostel Charge Per Semester	INR 13,000
Total fees for General/ OBC Candidates	INR 9,50,000
Total Fees for SC/ST/PH candidates	INR 1,36,000

Fee Waiver

100% Tuition Fee waiver for SC/ST/PH students.
Full remission of the Tuition Fee for
General & OBC students whose family income is less than Rs.1 lakh per annum.
Remission of 2/3rd of the Tuition Fee for General & OBC students whose family income is between Rs.1 lakh to Rs.5 lakh
per annum.

So year-wise a general category student has to pay 2 Lakhs at IIT Bombay.

Which should I prefer, CSE at IIT Guwahati or electrical (5 years) at IIT Bombay?

suhanaStudent At IIT Bombay

I am a third-year BTech student at IIT Bombay. Here is a comparison between IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati:

Parameters	IIT Bombay dual degree electrical	IIT Guwahati B.Tech CSE

Highest Package 2023	INR 3.67 CPA (Overall)	INR 2.40 CPA (B.Tech CSE)
Average Package 2023	INR 21.82 LPA (Overall)	INR 42.11 LPA (B.Tech CSE)
Top Recruiters	Texas Instruments, Samsung, NEC, Honda, etc.	Google, Deloitte, Samsung, Ola, etc.

(The branch-wise placement stats for IIT Bombay are not present)

Both IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati are highly renowned engineering colleges. However, IIT Bombay ranks much higher on a national and global ranking scale.

Moreover, IIT Bombay is located in the Financial Capital of India. This allows its students a much higher industry exposure. Additionally, Bombay has easy connectivity to major cities like Bengaluru, which further benefits its students.

Because of these reasons, I would recommend you choose the 5-year Electrical Engineering course at IIT Bombay over B.Tech CSE at IIT Guwahati.
