IIT Bombay—it's a dream college.
Placements: The campus placements at IIT Bombay are good; we can apply for any company irrespective of our branch. Students are eligible for placements from the 7th semester onwards. There are no companies that visited IIT Bombay but did not offer. The highest package ever recorded was around 4.5cr; it was in Fintech (developing algorithms). 75-80 per cent of the students get placed every year. The college provides good internship opportunities. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Idea Forge, and many more offer various roles such as developer, research engineer, etc. The stipend is around 15,000 per month.
Infrastructure: There are gyms in every hostel and a central library that is very accessible. They generally close at 11 pm. The cafeteria and canteens are open till 4 am. The classrooms have smart screens, which aid in understanding. IIT Bombay's gymkhana is one of the best and provides room for almost all sports. There are student-run social groups.
Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is generally dependent on the type of course; on average, it's about 1:15. For every course, there are around 2-3 quizzes, mid-semester and end-semester. Very few people tend to fail; the courses are very much relevant to our branches.

Absolutely satisfied due to the many opportunities present in this college.
Placements: 70 to 80 percent student got placed and another 5 to 10 percent students do something else. The rest are unplaced. The highest package differs year by year but stays around 1 LPA. The lowest package is around 6 or 7 LPA and the average packages are around 22 to 23 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our course are non core like McKinsey, Accenture, SDE recruiting companies, Consulting like Revolut, Deloitte etc. The internship percentage is not that high and lies around 40 to 50 percent no data from companies. Top roles are Data Scientist, SDE, Consultant etc. SDE roles are the top choice of students.
Infrastructure: Every facility, like labs, classrooms, library, hostels, and hostel room are top Notch. Wi-Fi is everywhere. Classrooms are very Big. The hostel quality is very good and a recent hostel with very high quality infrastructure comparable to 3 star Hotel. Food quality is very good but sometimes be dependent on mess to mess of every Hostel. As sometimes the Mess Quality is degraded for Profit. The canteen provides decent quality all year round. Medical services are free for every student and there is a sports facility known as the Gym where every sports facility is available and its free for everyone.
Faculty: Honest teaching is not very helpful and many students are unable to cope and are not understood by the teaching of the professor. In recent years course curriculum is made more relevant to the industry and we can say that course makes a student industrial ready in that specific field. Semester exams in a college are dependent on the faculty of the course and they can be very different from easy to tough but generally the pass percentage is 90 percent.
Other: I chose the course because I want to attend IIT Bombay and the best thing is that it gives ideas like AI and data Science. Sometimes clear flow of the course is not given and dates are not given, which makes students confused. In IIT Bombay, events are a part of your life, like there is always be minimum 1 event everyday and 2 to 3 events can be in a single day and you know the fest mood Indigo. The campus is Big. The crowd fees less, connectivity is strong. The campus is green and scholarships can be easily availed. Any Non SDE options present.

Placements: During campus placement at my college 90% of students from my department got placed. The highest package offered is 80LPA and the average CTC is something around 12 to 13 LPA. Mass hiring companies for civil services are Godrej and ICICI Bank. 70% got internship. Top role offered was a Data Scientist Role.
Infrastructure: Classroom is fully equipped with Wi-Fi and AC. The college has a central library where all kinds of books are available. The food and other facilities like gym culture room TV room everything is good. Time to time a special dinner is provided in the mess. All states' major festivals are celebrated in college.
Faculty: Faculty members are quite outstanding and highly qualified in their subjects. They are helpful too like you can approach them regarding taking guidance related to internship or for referral for higher studies too. Semester examination difficulty level is moderate to slightly hard. Passing percentage totally depends on the professor mostly it is in the range of 35 to 40% percent.
Other: I have chosen this course based on my JEE Advanced rank. I got a degree in civil engineering from IIT Bombay. Civil engineering is the fundamental discipline for infrastructure development of any country and this fascinates me to take this course.

Excellent placements, world-class faculty, tough but fair academics, & campus life are hard to beat.
Placements: Around 80 to 90 percent of students from our batch opted for placements. Majority of them are successfully placed. While others chose higher studies, research, startups, or civil services preparation. The highest package offered in our course went above 1 crore per annum (international offers). The average package is around 20 LPA to 25 LPA, and the lowest package is around 10 LPA to 12 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Qualcomm, etc. Around 70-80% of students are able to secure internships through campus and off-campus opportunities.
Infrastructure: The academic side is honestly pretty solid. Labs are well-equipped, especially for core branches like CSE, EE, mechanical, and chemistry. We get access to good machinery software and research facilities. Classrooms are great. Library is huge 24/7, and has almost every book we need. Wi-Fi is available everywhere on campus but speed drops during peak hours and can be frustrating in hostels. There is new hostel and much better than the old ones. There are big rooms, maintained mess, and games are equipment whereas old hostels are smaller with poor sports equipment, mostly damaged. H1 (old hostel) mess is a great thought.
Faculty: Faculty is one of the best things about IITB. Most professors are highly qualified, very knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their subjects. Many are doing serious research and bringing that into teaching. Like the BB101 biology course included bits of research stuff into class teaching curriculum is rigorous and mostly relevant. Core courses build strong fundamentals, and electives give flexibility. Most exams are moderate to tough level, and sometimes like during mid-semester for biology there is a huge mismanagement in the venue allotment which resulted in cancelling the exam.
Other: Aerospace has been my interest since childhood. At IITB, with only 70-75 people in the aerospace department, it's really nice to be a part of it.

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.
