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.

IIT Bombay College review.

Infrastructure: The hostel and the dining hall were actually not bad. Having Wi-Fi in class and internet cables in the hostel really helped with our schoolwork. You can find almost everything you need without leaving campus. The classrooms were big and had projectors. If you're into sports, there's a huge stadium for cricket and an indoor one for badminton.

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

IIT Bombay—it's a dream college.

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.

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

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.
