IIT Bombay Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

After graduation from Jabalpur University, I had two options: 1) to try and get selected to BARC Graduate training engineer (first choice) or 2) Get admitted to a Postgraduate course in Electrical Engineering at IIT B. IIT had the process of entrance examination followed by an interview. Unfortunately, the date and timing of both the BARC interview and IIT test were on the same day same time. Went to BARC as it was the first choice. After the BARC interview visited IIT but the entrance tests and interviews were already completed. Contacted the head of the electrical engineering department (Late Prof C Balakrishnan), who was kind enough to give the test and called me on the following day for an interview. Got selected and joined the program on schedule in July 1967.

The college provides internships without any stipend. The average salary package is 6 lakhs per annum and the highest is 16 lakhs per annum. Teaching quality is good in all the subjects. They are supportive.

Placement Security is provided. The campus is well equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Moreover the diversity of the college i.e. students from all over the country study here and give us a taste of different culture and experiences. Overall it is a college that promises a well-spent 4 years of college life.

IIT Bombay is India's top ranked prestigious institution. It's a brand. And basically I was looking to pursue research in the area of process control and optimization of Chemical Processes. The automation lab in IIT Bombay's Department of Chemical Engineering is country's best institution with amazing research facilities.

They had regular Coding contests by Coding club Cybros every 2-3 weeks which helped a lot in enhancing Coding skills. Quiz club, literary club, had a lot of cultural activities to have fun which helped a lot to overcome stage fear. Cultural activities drama, fashion walk, dance, weekly monthly drawing fun activities like thumb painting, charcoal drawing, sponge painting, face painting, and many more.

The best thing about IIT Bombay was the liberty and exposure it provided to the students. Right from academics and research to a plethora of extracurricular activities. It allowed you to pursue careers in fields one could not even think of before joining college. I have friends from college, who today are pursuing research as Ph.D. students and at some very good core companies, and at the same time, some are among very good athletes & actors. Also, in spite of a gender ratio of 10:1, you can always find boys and girls working together towards common interests.

I chose Sjmsom, IIT Bombay over all new IIMs.Firstly, the average placement is better than new IIMs.Small batch will be good for placement during covid. Good Return of Investment due to less fee.Colege being in Mumbai gives location advantage also.

This Institute is one the best institutes in overall India and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is a public technical and research university located in Powai, Mumbai, India. IIT Bombay was founded in 1958. In 1961, the Parliament decreed IITs as Institutes of National Importance. And according to various sites, it is ranked #3.

Our college has an elaborate entrance exam called IIT-JEE which is a countrywide exam and the score makes you eligible for all the IITs. The exam is of two stages, one around the first week of April and another on the last week of May. The entrance exam is pretty elaborate and hence people undergo preparation in their classes 11 and 12 in multiple coaching centres across the country. The exam is primarily on 3 subjects: Maths, Physics, and Chemistry. It's highly recommended that people only choose this college entrance if they are already good at it because the actual exam paper is world-renowned to be the toughest of all. Choosing a branch and college are highly biased on the rank you get in the exam.

Course: Power Electronics, important for renewable energy and electric mobility in near future. IIT Bombay Power Electronics is 3rd best in placement after IISc & IITK. I got admission through BTech GPA and technical interview. The primary mode of admission is through GATE.
