If any candidate is unable to receive the OTP while filling the IIT Bombay application, they should try resending or reloading the sent OTP. Wait for atleast 15-20 minutes or change the current netword settings. If this does not fix the problem of OTP not getting loaded, try using a different Email Id or phone no.

hi,
For admission into Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (often called IIT Mumbai), the required rank in Joint Entrance Examination Advanced depends on the branch and your category. For top branches like Computer Science, you typically need a rank within ~1–70 (General category). For Aerospace Engineering, the closing rank is usually around ~1500–2500 (General). Cutoffs vary each year based on difficulty, seat matrix, and competition. Reserved categories (OBC, SC, ST) have comparatively relaxed ranks. To be safe, aim for the best possible rank, ideally within the top 2000 for good core branches at IIT-B.

hi,
No, you cannot get admission into B.Tech (Aerospace Engineering) at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay without taking Joint Entrance Examination Main. JEE Main is the mandatory first step to qualify for Joint Entrance Examination Advanced, which is the only entrance exam for IIT admissions. Without clearing JEE Main, you are not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced, and hence cannot enter IIT-B. There is no direct admission, management quota, or alternative route for B.Tech at IITs, even for diploma holders.

An SC student needs about 200–250+ marks and a rank under 700 to get Aerospace at IIT Bombay.
SC rank needed → around under 700
Marks needed → roughly 200 – 250+ (approx)
Aerospace at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is highly competitive, so:
Below 200 → very low chance
200–250 → possible
250+ → safer side
