Great campus life, and you get to work with top professors in varied domains.
Placements: Placements are really good in the EE branch, with opportunities from all the domains, including Core, Development, CSE, Consulting, and Finance, being thrown open to the students, so no dearth of opportunities. For sure 90% of students get placements and internships, and any student should least worry about those things. You get all the top recruiting MNCs here for the interviews. I feel EE is at a bit of a sweet spot compared to CSE in many regards.
Infrastructure: While new residential buildings are coming up, the existing hostel infrastructure is a bit old, so there are some issues in that regard, and students should be mentally prepared for that. Academic infrastructure, including classrooms, labs, and a library, is at par with what students should expect from a good college.
Faculty: It may feel like teaching is done in the same way as we go through the schools, since it's mostly the lectures and then you go through the exams (pen and paper), so it may feel like the same pattern but after 3rd year you get many opportunities to be more research oriented and curriculum becomes more project based. Course is enough for students to be industry-ready if they put in enough work.
Other: EE as a department will be much better due to higher batch strength, as well as if people take integrated 5-year course, they do get an extra year to spend on the campus if they like.

Admission to B.S. in Mathematics in IIT Bombay - Indian Institute of Technology is based on the scores obtained in the entrance exam JEE. Applicants are advised to confirm what category are they applying while checking for cut offs.

Q:   What if I can't get into IIT Bombay for BTech?
A: 

Not getting into IIT Bombay or any other top IIT should not be considered an end to a student’s career. While IIT Bombay average package is INR 23.50 LPA for its 2024 placements batch, can IIT Bombay guarantee the same for each and every student of the batch? The answer is no. What truly matters is a student’s dream to pursue a career in Engineering and as long as they are ready to work on their learning and are focused towards achieving their goal, they must not feel defeated in case of not getting into IIT Bombay.

Additionally, students always have an option to go for other good private and government universities and colleges to pursue their BTech degree. Some of these options are as follows:
