Which branch in iit Bombay should i have to choose for non core?

Vinima Bhola

If you are considering IIT Bombay and want to maximize your opportunities for non-core (non-traditional) engineering jobs, such as those in software, consulting, finance, analytics, or product management.

List of the non-core branches:

Branch	Non-Core Job Opportunities	Notes
Computer Science & Engineering	Excellent	For software, data science, and tech roles
Electrical Engineering	Very Good	In embedded systems, IoT, and analytics
Artificial Intelligence/Data Science	Excellent	For tech and analytics
Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgical	Good	Many students enter non-core jobs, but may need coding upskilling

Students from other branches (like Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgical) also get non-core jobs, but may need to put in extra effort to develop relevant skills (coding, data structures, etc.).

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.

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.
