Does IIT Bombay tag really matter??
Likes
- Gymkhana elections for G.Sec were the best part for me in my first year. All the institute was involved in polting, and it helped me build a very good community with senior students. Whenever I need some help, they are always available.
- Assignments, groundworks and Interviews for different positions at diff clubs gave me the hands-on experience to rigorous process of selection for placements in real world. It was really helpful.
- Interdisciplinary courses are allowed. This helped me choose course of my own interest apart from core mechanical field. I have interest in coding and all, so I have taken elective of Data Structure and algorithms this semester.
Dislikes
- Some of the prof are not good. A large number of students are sleeping in the class. Classes are not so much interactive.
- There are very less industrial visits, or some trips to the informative sights.
- There is so much mental pressure on our minds. Because of assignments, or the peers who are doing a lot of extraordinary things, which when we see, we feel so much backward. And it is so much demotivating.
Remarks :
For being eligible to take admission in IIT Bombay, one has to clear JEE Advanced exam which is considered as the toughest examination in INDIA. It mainly tests the deep understanding of the student in a particular topic. It has two papers, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The application forms are released in the month of April, one is eligible to sit in JEE ADVANCED exam if he/she has cleared JEE mains first. Around 12-13lacs of students sit for JEE MAINS. Out of which 2.5 lacs of students become eligible to sit in JEE ADV. Out of which around 1.8lacs fills the JEE ADV form, and out of which 1.7 lacs of students give both papers. Out of which around 17k students gets seat in IITs. There is resevation for ST/SC/OBC/GEN-EWS/PWD/Female students. The exam is held in the month of may or june and the results are announced in the month of june. After this JOSAA counselling process is there to get admission in diif courses in diff IITs.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Earlier the course curriculum was such that the students could only do their studies in their core branch. But now, the course curriculum is such that the students can take courses in diiferent branches also. Also if somebody wants to pursue a minor degree in any course other than his/her core course then, he may do it. All the stuff taught in class is relevent only. They take us from base to advanced level with its industrials applications. This way the course curriculum is really helpfull and craves the child for real world. The areas of imporvement are like, making the class more interactive instead of making attendance compulsory. as it is not that much helpful. Also there are lot of exams, like, we have quizzes for some course in alternative weeks, and in rest of the weeks we have some projects or assignments to do for some courses. There is no free time. we also have one midsem and one endsem exams.

Mood Indigo, Techfest, E-Summit, Aahvan, Advitiya, Alumination, etc are some of the college fests. Besides them, their are lot of other events, like Salsa Night, Insti Night, AIDS, Surbahar, Performing Arts Festival, Sophieprod, and one special event from all the clubs for freshers.

Faculty :
Faculty over there is highly qualified. Some of them are IIT passouts from 90s. Some of them have done PHD from top knotch colleges of world like stanford, MIT, etc. Some of them also haev taught in those top premier institutes. They also have published a large number of books in their topic of reseach. Our entrepreneurship prof have taught a large number of CEOs of top companies. for example, The CEO of OLA Cabs, Bhavish Agarawal is also student of hers. Our ENT prof also hosts guest lectures from them, which is a very nice way to learn from experience of our seniors. The prof to student interaction is improved by Teaching assistant programme, in which each course have certain number of TAs to reduce the student-prof gap. Good thing is this programme is also ideated and executed by the students only. i.e, the students only do all the things to make our institute best.

BEST COLLEGE OF THE NATION
Course Curriculum Overview :
Curriculum is essential to guide teachers in what to teach, how much depth of knowledge is needed for that grade, and a a timeline to follow so the year will be completed. Curriculum needs to focus on what you can do with information rather than the information itself. I wouldn’t eliminate content, without background we cannot form good, rational, and educated conclusions. We are still giving timed tests in math facts! I know that’s traditional, but it just isn’t as important. My era had no calculators and we needed to be proficient at paper and pencil solutions, but now, perfect calculations are available to everyone. We should focus on what kinds of problems can be solved with mathematics. Spelling is equally less important. Vocabulary should be stressed. My sister years ago was taking a test for a personal assistant position where she was asked to type a large number of words per minute error free. She was laughing at such a test. She said no one does that anymore, they just type t
