Review of a great college IIT Bombay.

Faculty: Faculty is quite strict but if we listen to them then it's very supportive. Faculty is very brilliant. As this is an old institute, the syllabus is quite old but many new subjects have also been added in recent years to keep it up to date. Semester exams are quite challenging here but many can pass them by studying 3-4 days before the exam.

My honest opinion about my college.

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 ...

Review of IIT Bombay.

Faculty: Professors, associate & assistant professors are for teaching. The course curriculum is highly relevant, but it does not automatically make everyone industry-ready. The ability of students makes them industry-ready by learning new tech quickly and understanding systems deeply. The best way to get industry-ready is by learning a curriculum with and efforts. So think about this.

College provides good infrastructure and facilities.

Faculty: Professors are well qualified and very helpful and friendly, not too strict, and have strong knowledge of the subjects they teach. The teaching quality is good. The curriculum is relevant, with the first year building a strong foundation, helping students become industry-ready. The difficulty depends on the course, but it is generally moderate with relative grading, and most students pass easily.

Very beautiful campus, full of greenery, best sports facility, and nice placements.

Faculty: Top faculty are provided from all over India. They are well-qualified, many with Ph.Ds., and have good knowledge to teach us. The course curriculum is very relevant and revised every year. Semester exams are very difficult, but we have quizzes in between, so we are somewhat prepared for the main exams.

IIT Bombay—it's a dream college.

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.

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.

Great campus life, and you get to work with top professors in varied domains.

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.

About the dream college, IIT Bombay.

Faculty: Faculty members are very intellectual individuals who hold many patents in their research. I feel very lucky to be taught by faculty at IITB. They are well-versed in what they teach. Coming to exams, the semester exams are tough. This is intended to prepare us for future challenges. The average score in exams is usually around 30% of the total marks.
