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.

IIT Bombay College review.

Faculty: A lot of the faculty got their PhDs from famous places like NITs or IITs. The teachers were friendly and easy to like. Most classes were just lectures where you listened and took notes. We studied things like biotech, but it doesn't totally train you for one specific job. The exams were average, and most people around 80 or 90 percent passed them.

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.

M.Tech experience at IIT Bombay - Placements, faculty members, and campus life.

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.

Overall, it offers a fantastic package and there are no problems.

Faculty: Teachers are very qualified and support students from every perspective. Sometimes, they provide challenges to students and give the test paper so hard. They make students industry-ready. The course curriculum is relevant. Semester exams are not very difficult but easy to pass with regular studies. By the way, many students pass exams.

It is the best college in India in every field like facilities, placements, research, etc.

Faculty: Everything is perfect. Semester exams are pretty hard, and only the one who has cracked JEE advanced can solve them. Professors are very helpful and kind. But any malpractices are not avoided. Attendance is compulsory, and we can't take it in a chill way.
