It is really a good college because of faculty members and placements.

Placements: Every year about 100 students join in this course through JAM exam, which is very hard. After completion of the course, most of the students join here to pursue a PhD. You can get a minimum of Rs. 35,000 as scholarship. Many companies like Google, ITC, etc., visit here and recruit some students every year.

Infrastructure: Our college has a very good hostel, and sometimes the speed of the Wi-Fi facility is 8 MB per second. But usage of Facebook is restricted here, and you should use a VPN if you really need it. All the food items served here are of high-quality, and I initially found vaporized food in the hostels. Rooms are pretty good, and you will like it, and the superintendent is very helpful.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are really helpful, and you can get every kind of help from teachers. You will like the course, and there are many opportunities. You will gain great knowledge about the course. Many CEOs visit here to give a speech. You will surely get a job after completion of this course.

Other: Physics is the best department here for pursuing M.Sc. You have to choose a special paper in the final semester. IITs will offer you a huge choice, and especially you can choose astrophysics also.

IIT Bombay- Best place to study and live as it has got every facility available.

Placements: There's no placement. Companies don't visit these days. Moreover, faculty members are also not supportive for placements. Professors are more interested in research and they wish that students also do research which is not possible for everyone as everyone has got their own priorities.

Infrastructure: Nothing can be said against infrastructure. It is one of the best place to live in and study with world class sports facilities are available. Cricket ground is awesome. Gyms are available. Pool is available too. Almost every sport is there to play. If we can make use of any sport, that will be good as there are so many options available.

Faculty: Faculty members of the department are always making issue in case of placement. Teaching wise, they are the best one. Top class faculty members are present and no one can question their knowledge skills.

Other: IIT Bombay has excellent infrastructure Brand name is huge. And it is worth it. Fees is nominal as it is a government college. Campus life is awesome. Faculty depends from department to department. Some have excellent faculties, but some does not have too much interest in teaching. If you are not careful it can be a pressure cooker for you, a lot of students have committed suicides in IIT in last few years.

Absolutely satisfied as it is the best college for pursuing engineering.

Placements: Around 90% of the students get placements in the chemical engineering department of IITB. The remaining 10% include those who want to go for MBA or other fields. The highest domestic package is around Rs 32 Lakh and the average is around Rs 16 Lacs. The top core companies which come to IITB for recruitment are Hindustan Unilever, Dr reddy, etc. Around 75-85% of students got internships in various companies including the non-core sectors.

Infrastructure: Labs, classrooms and library is up to the mark and is in very good condition, but the Wi-Fi facility is not that good because you have to use a LAN wire to access it inside the hostel, the mess is just good. There is also a canteen, medical and sports facility provided over here.

Faculty: Teachers are really very helpful and obviously qualified and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is obviously very good as it is the best college of engineering. The course curriculum is very relevant and makes the students ready for industry level, some exams are difficult, and the pass percentage is around 90%.
