B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering - Batch of 2026

4.4

My honest opinion about my college.

Infrastructure: The hostel rooms of senior boys are very small and congested. I really think that there must be bigger rooms. At least double the size of the present rooms. The mess food is also not that good.

Faculty: Faculty of IIT Bombay is really rich with knowledge and sheer experience. They are easily available, and the internal exams are decided by the teachers only. A lot of subjects and a busy schedule do not feel so hectic if teachers are helpful. The course that I selected and got due to my good rank is Computer Science. We get to learn coding and how to develop an app or website. All things are taught in one place. The exams are twice a year, which need to be passed to go to the next semester. The course curriculum is awesome and is well updated. Faculty members teach with utmost sincerity and are always ready to help students. Students are provided with proper industry exposure. Overall, it develops students and their personalities.

Other: The infrastructure is pretty good in comparison to many colleges. I think it is one of the best colleges in India. The infrastructure should be a lot better. There is very little exposure, especially for UGs. There are very few international scholarships/exchange programs offered. Language courses in different countries are provided, which is a good step.

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.

Review of IIT Bombay - Indian Institute of Technology.

Placements: I would say campus placements are just above average. Placements are not as grand as the newspapers show, but the peer group is quite engaging. Students grow a lot in these 4 years with a good peer group and an awesome alumni network. The highest packages generally are bagged in the software domains. In my branch, the highest package is 35 LPA.

Infrastructure: The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled, There is a central library and almost all departments have their own libraries too. There are 3 dedicated lecture complexes and all departments have their own classrooms too. The hostel infrastructure of the new hostels are really good and the old ones are also continuously improving. There is an on-campus hospital. The institute gymkhana has many sports facilities.

Faculty: Faculty members of my department are extremely supportive and helpful, just that you need to be ready to seek help. The course curriculum is relevant just a little cramped in the new curriculum, but this curriculum leaves us with 1 full year to choose courses of our choice. This is good for students who have an interdisciplinary interest. Semester exams' level of difficulty varies but they are passable. We really need to work hard to pass exams.

Other: There are a ton of things to do and explore. There is no matter what branch we choose based on our JEE rank, we should go for a better college. It will all make sense once we are a year or 2 into the campus, we will have to figure out a lot of things and maybe discover where our interest lies.

Overall, good in terms of placement, infrastructure, academics, college life and all.

Placements: At IIT Bombay, placement statistics vary by department. In most core engineering courses, around 80%-90% of students secure placements. The highest package can go beyond 4 crores per annum, while the lowest package is around 8 LPA-12 LPA, with an average of 20 LPA-30 LPA. Top recruiters include Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Reliance, and McKinsey. Around 85%-90% of students secure internships. The internship scope is more as compared to other institutes, one just needs to develop networking opportunities.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. There is a specific infrastructure for each department. Every year is available with a Wi-Fi facility. Each hostel has LAN cables, library, sports room, music room, and other facilities. Some parent's hostels are not that good but the new hostels have the best facility in terms of everything.

Faculty: Exams are concept-heavy and challenging, requiring deep understanding and problem-solving skills, with good preparation. Mostly it is divided into quizzes, midterms, and end-sems. Sometimes assignments, attendance, and projects do have some weightage. Professors are highly qualified and supportive, ensuring excellent teaching quality. The curriculum is getting improved and getting industry-oriented projects.

Other: Some events are organized on a much bigger scale. Overall it is very good.

Take the course, only if you like it.

Placements: 80% of students were placed in this course. The highest might be 24 lpa, and the lowest around 12–13 lpa. The top recruiting company for this course is HUL. Around 50% get internships in random companies and just 1 or 2 in HUL. The top roles are R&D, research fellowships, etc.

Infrastructure: There are classrooms, Wi-Fi, labs, and canteens. The department building seems quite old and the infrastructure is a bit outdated; otherwise, it is good. The boys hostels are not good with poor infrastructure and limited space but the newer ones are better. Food quality degrades as the days pass.

Faculty: Personally, I don't like chemical core, but some professors are really helpful. The course curriculum is okay and the department council is trying a lot to make the students industry-ready. Exams are tough, at least for me. The grading is absolutely absurd.

Other: I wanted IITB so I went with chemicals. I don't like anything about this course. I wish the pros stopped the harsh grading. I would have been happier if I was in a different course, maybe. Events and festivals are really fun. Crowds and seniors are really helpful in every aspect.

One of the best placements, infrastructure, surrounding etc. So I will say work hard for JEE.

Placements: The batch size of the 2023 chemical department is 147. The highest package is 47 lakhs, the average package is 17 lakhs, and the lowest is 7 lakhs. The top recruiting companies for chemicals are IOCl, BPCL, ONGC, and Reliance Industries. Almost 40% of the students got internships in our branches, like CRODA, Everest Carbon, and Shell.

Infrastructure: As I am in my first year, I am exposed to physics and CS labs only. And they are the best labs, and the staff is very supportive. Wi-Fi speed is best in classrooms, mess, and libraries. But in hostels, we have to apply it outside. Classrooms are well structured; there is a podium and projector screens. The central library is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. (Mon-Fri) and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Sat-Sun). The reading hall is open 24/7, where you can go and study, but in the reading hall, books are not available. In my hostel, i.e., H-16. There are washing machines and one water purifier on each floor. In the hostel, there's also a mess where you will get breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. Almost all kinds of sports facilities are available, and you will get chances to participate in inter-IIT sports, i.e., competitions. You will get awesome medical facilities available 24/7 that are free of cost. Even the medicine given by doctors is free of cost.

Faculty: Honestly speaking, faculty members are a bit boring, but they are well qualified. They do not give their 100 percent to teach the students. They just go by the slides that they have copied from any book. Yes, this course curriculum is relevant, and it makes the students industry-ready. End terms are very difficult, but midterms and quizzes are durable. In CS 101, out of 700 students, 55 fail in math, or about 51, so about 10 to 12% of students fail.

Other: Based on my rank, this was the only branch available for me in IIT Bombay. However, there are some areas that could be improved, such as the quality of professors. IIT Bombay hosts Asia's largest fest, Mood Indigo, and it's also exciting that a big celebrity visits the campus every week. There are some additional benefits, like free messing for SC/ST students, remission of fees, and women merit-cum-scholarship.

One of the best decision that I took ever.

Placements: Placements are decent in IIT Bombay. Last year the highest package was 3.67 Crores per annum by Janes street company. Average package was about 21 Lacs. Almost 100 percent of students got placed who have applied for it. From Chemical engineering, about 75 percent students get internships in different companies like brain and company, Dr Reddy etc. Top roles offered are Food inspector, Senior engineer at Petroleum extraction unit, etc.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college is very nice. The classes are well-equipped with ACs and high-speed Wi-fi. Labs have very high level and expensive equipments. Library is so large and very beautiful with alot of books and references to read. Hostels have nice facilities like automated washing machines, RO water etc. Mess food has alot of variety and it is good to eat.

Faculty: Faculty members are excellent and have very high qualifications. If you are really interested in the course, then they are very helpful. The course curriculum is very relevant and makes students industry ready. The exams are on the higher side for difficulty. About 90 percent of students get passed.

Overall, IIT Bombay is great!

Placements: Placements are definitely something to be looked at. Placements here are great and have been experiencing largely unaffected growth in packages. The highest package offered in the institute is a whopping INR 1.5 crore+, and the average goes up to INR 21 lacs per annum, which is a great number. As far as chemical engineering is concerned, the average package goes around INR 18–19 lacs per annum.

Infrastructure: Hostels here are great to live in. The hostel experience is really memorable for any student. All hostels have 24/7 Wi-Fi access and connectivity. Hostel mess food is also far better than that of other colleges. Also, the hostels are quite safe and secure from the perspective of a girl student.

Faculty: The faculty here is great. All the professors are highly educated and skilled. They are very punctual when it comes to lectures or assignment submissions. The courses here are a bit tough, but they are worth studying. Though one may feel that the curriculum is outdated, it is important to study its origins.
