The placement scenario after PhD in IIT Bombay is generally poor, according to student feedback and departmental elections.

• Ph.D. students typically have very specific knowledge that may not be useful to companies, so they may not be recruited by BTech companies.
• There is no specific body that helps bring companies for Ph.D. students, resulting in a lack of job opportunities for graduates.
• Ph.D. graduates pursue two directions: Professor in a University or a specified job, but finding a job can be difficult without faculty contacts.

The average salary for a Ph.D. student at IIT Bombay ranges from INR 3.4 Lakhs to INR 4.2 Lakhs per year.
