IIT Bombay is very popular for its placement records which are the best in the country. This year only the highest package offered is 4 crore per annum. The average placement is 22.85 lacs per annum. Many students opt for higher studies. Some students go for government job examinations. Many of them come up with brilliant business idea till the end of their degree.

Remarks:

To get into IIT Bombay which is one of the most prominent engineering institutes in the world you need to clear JEE Mains and JEE Advanced that too with a very good rank. Minimum 75% marks required in 12th boards. Jee Mains is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and Advance is conducted by IITs. Registration forms are made available by IITs and NTA on their websites. Mains is conducted twice a year and if you qualify you will be eligible to sit in one of the most difficult examinations in the world which is JEE advanced. Seats are kept reserved on a caste basis, and gender basis, for PwDs, Special Numararies, and Children of Defence servents. The registration process and admission process are very smooth. A one-week-long orientation session is conducted by the institute for registration and familiarisation with the IIT Bombay system. The campus is lush green. This college is the dream of millions of engineering students in the country.

Placement Experience:

College placements usually start from last year. The college provides a lot of help for our placement and a lot of companies including the big giants like Google, Microsoft, etc. come to the campus for placements.

Remarks:

There was an All India competitive exam called JEE which I have cleared to get this course. Application form can be found on the NTA website, the fee of the same is 2900. A reservation holds a lot of benefits like the person with the same marks with a reservation will get a lot better seat than the one without a reservation.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because I want to pursue higher studies and want to go on research. The faculty-student ratio is very good for me, one mentor is alloted per 10-12 students. Faculties are very well qualified. Exams difficulty depends on the professor.

Remarks:

I gave JEE ADVANCED. For this first one has to clear JEE MAINS. The eligibility criteria are as follows, only 12th graders and one year droppers. The application fee varies by gender and quotas every year. For me, it was 1000 rs. in advance and 800 rs. in main. Dates vary every year. All the exams were smoothly conducted.

3rd year This data is available online in a very detailed manner. A large bunch of student get placements from IITB but many don't cause they usually opt out of placement to start their own business. My plan is currently to get a job and then will try to do MBA from any IIMs(if possible)

Remarks:

There are various way to get into IIT Bombay. Most popular being through JEE advanced. To be eligible to apply, you must have given 12th boards and have scored a min 75% or must come under top 20 percentile. Clearing JEE mains and qualifying advanced is also a necessary criterion. Application forms are available on JEE adv/ NTA site... For college related forms, you have to go through Josaa site. To avail reservation, you must come under OBC/SC/ST/EWS. This is what government decides and you just have to contact your local government officer for further details. Making a preference list in councelling can be a bit hectic as there are more than 700 courses offered in Josaa councelling... This can be improved.

Placement Experience:

as high as 95% of students get placed after completing a UG degree. Placements start in the 7th semester when almost all the renowned companies come to hire students. The highest package offered in 2023 was about 3.7 crore(converted to INR from USD) with an average of about 21-22 lakhs INR.

Remarks:

The entrance exam I appeared for was JEE Mains followed by JEE Advanced. The students qualifying for JEE Mains get a chance to appear in JEE Advanced, the rank of which dictates your admission to IIT. To get admission to the branch I opted for(aerospace) the cutoff rank was about 2100 in JEE Advanced. The application for JEE Mains can be done at the official NTA website with an application fee of about 500 INR and for JEE Advanced application there is a seprate website made by the exam conducting IIT in that year and can be easily looked up by searching on any web browser.

Placement Experience:

Completing at least 7 sems in the insti makes you eligible for placements! we have a dedicated campus placements cell for the same which works hard to ensure students are getting placed and receive desirable packages. I think that everyone knows all the top companies that come up to IITB to offer packages like 1.5 CR 2CR, 2.5CR, and 3CR. If I had to name then it'd be Google, apple microsoft, Abbott, BCG{google the fullform}, McKinsey, Rubrick etc the companies provide very handsome packages to students average is around 30-45 LPA. around 90-95% of students get placed. I am considering doing an MBA or exploring my research interests in materials science to pursue an MS in a foreign university.

Remarks:

One person should have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Science stream in 12th is necessary, along with a decent score in JEE [Joint Entrance Examination] clear mains and a top rank in advance to secure a seat at IITB. Applying for the JoSAA seat allocation process which requires payment of the seat acceptance fee and its registering fees, googling its website would be helpful, JoSAA starts after the results of JEE advance have been released, I gave JEE mains and advance near the end of the 12th which everyone tends to do, After a few days of paying up the seat acceptance fee I got the mail from IITB regarding the further process of admission. There are no benefits of reservation except for a seat acceptance fee!! the admission process seems alright as it is.

IIT Bombay gives you the ability to dream whereas IIM Ahmedabad helps you change them. IITB is more generic in nature whereas IIMA focuses strictly on core concepts. Both carry equal importance in one’s life and one cannot be considered better than the other. They both are like two wheels of a vehicle indispensable to each other.

The IITs are funded by the Government so it has complete authority to give admission to anyone. The teachers or the students are not the stakeholders in the case of IITs. It is the Government that pays the teachers' salaries and installs the various facilities. The Government is at complete freedom to decide who can come into ITs and who needs a push in the form of the reservation to join ITs.

The aspirants know beforehand that the Government has set such rules according to its own discretion. No one is forced to give the exam and you can always choose any other option if you think it’s unfair.

Aspirants know that there might be cases where a candidate with 10k or above rank will get admission in contrast to the general cutoff. They still fill out firms in hope of clearing the exam. You are precisely giving a Government Exam and need to follow all the necessary rules. So it indeed is justified if someone with a 10k rank is able to make it into IIT Bombay.

IIT Madras has a beautiful campus. If you are an animal lover, you will love it. Blackbuck runs around the campus like stray dogs. Monkeys can enter your hostel rooms anytime, and rob you. It’s also pretty normal to see Hyenas roaming around the campus at night. 

IIT Madras campus used to be a part of Guindy National Park. Different departments are literally scattered around the jungle. The campus has many overhead tanks. You can sneak out at night with your friends and watch Chennai city from the top of these tanks (though it is against the rules). 

Elliot beach is only 4 km away from the campus. You can take your bicycle out to watch the beautiful sunrise from the Bay of Bengal.

IITB shortlists students based on their GATE cutoff score for IEOR M.Tech. Shortlisted students need to go through a written test and an interview as well for final selection. IEOR IITB GATE cutoff is 650+ for general category students. 

If you want to pursue an MS from some renowned foreign university in Operations Research and Data Analysis domain, then IEOR IITB is a better choice.

If you want to work in the field of Supply Chain Management then NITIE PGDIE is a better option. The course offers cushy placements. NITIE PGDIE placements 2022 had a median CTC of around INR 19 LPA.

When it comes to selecting an IIT for your M.Tech program, it's important to keep in mind that there is no significant difference between the various IITs in terms of academics. While some individuals may adjust more quickly to the IIT culture, every M.Tech program is held to the same academic standards, regardless of which IIT you choose. Whether you're pursuing CSE, a CS M.Tech program is nearly as valuable as a CS B.Tech/Dual program in terms of job placement, regardless of the IIT you attend.

With this in mind, it may make sense for you to consider IIT Madras, particularly if it meets your criteria. While IIT Bombay may have a strong reputation, it's important to keep in mind that all IITs are of similar quality. As a CS postgraduate, the specific IIT you attend is not likely to make a significant difference in your career prospects. Instead, focus on finding a program that aligns with your academic goals and personal preferences.

Ultimately, the decision of which IIT to attend is a personal one and should be based on a variety of factors, such as program offerings, location, and student life. Don't feel pressured to choose a specific IIT just because it has a reputation for excellence. Instead, consider all your options carefully and select the program that is the best fit for you. With hard work and dedication, you can achieve success in any M.Tech program, regardless of the IIT you attend.

If you're considering attending an IIT for your academic pursuits, you may want to take a closer look at IITB. Not only do we offer top-tier facilities, but we also have a number of unique projects and programs that set us apart from other IITs.

One such program is Mood Indigo, which is Asia's largest cult fest and the world's second-largest. In addition to Mood Indigo, we also have the Pratham student satellite program and other exciting projects like AUV and Mini Aerial Vehicle. Plus, we have our own Aeromodelling club, which offers unique opportunities for students to get hands-on experience with aircraft design and engineering.

When it comes to job placement, IITB has a strong track record of success. Our graduates are highly sought after by top companies across various industries, which can help set you up for long-term career success.

Of course, choosing an IIT is a personal decision that should be based on a range of factors, including academic programs, location, and student life. While we believe that IITB is the best IIT in India, it's crucial for you to do your own research and determine which program is the best fit for your academic and personal goals.

Ultimately, you can succeed in any IIT program with hard work and dedication. We encourage you to carefully consider your options and choose the program that best aligns with your unique needs and aspirations.

It is a no-brainer that IIM Ahmedabad is considered one of the finest institutes in terms of infrastructure in the whole of India. In fact, its campus excellency is what made it the shoot location of the Bollywood movie 2 States. It stands better even when compared to one of the best technological institutes IIT Bombay. The main areas where it gives an edge to IIT Bombay are its hostel facilities and supporting infrastructure. For instance 

  • Every 8 students have 3 bathroom facilities 
  • Students get single occupancy rooms 
  • Every room has a small balcony, a big study table, and built-in bookshelves 
  • Every hostel has 40 rooms with 3-4 washing machines and few refrigerators.
  • Free 24/7 Wi-Fi facilities within campus

The overall ambiance of the hostels installs a sense of comfort and productivity among the students.

IIT Bombay campus also has several aspects where it gives an edge to IIM Ahmedabad. For instance

  • Its campus is considered much more beautiful and green
  • It has top-notch amenities and recreational facilities
  • It is even considered bigger in size than IIM Ahmedabad 
  • It has 2 natural lakes and a number of cliffs within the campus.

All this makes the IIT Bombay campus one of the best in the country. We can conclude that both campuses are excellent in their own parameters. While IIT Ahmedabad offers the best hostel facilities, IIT Bombay has the best campus ambiance.

If you are a B.Tech 3rd-year student (or even in 2nd year) and you want to apply for an internship at IIT Bombay, the best way to do it is by contacting the professor. You need to follow certain steps to apply for the internship:

  • Identify the area you want to work on. Make sure you have a good interest in the area, good knowledge of what is currently happening in your area of interest, a good grade in the subject, and a decent CGPA (or percent marks).
  • Go through the website of IITB and the corresponding department. The website lists details of all the professors, their contact and the area of research. Identify the professor who is doing work in your area of interest.
  • Prepare a good resume highlighting what you have achieved in the area you want to work on. If you are in the early or middle years of B.Tech you might not have too much to highlight on. In those cases, you can mention the good grades you got in the subject you want to work on. Even a seminar or presentation that you have taken related to the area will be a plus.
  • Draft and send a mail to the professor. The mail should be catchy, crisp, and to the point. Don’t write too many and don’t write too less. Highlight what you want to do, why you want to do and what have you done so far. Attach your resume also. The professor may not reply to you for the first time. You can send a reminder mail maybe a week later. Even after sending a couple of emails if there is no reply, try calling. (Be careful here. Some professors don’t like directly calling them. You can call some of his students doing research under him and inquire. Normally his student details will also be on the website).
  • Once you come under the notice of the professor, he might or might not have a phone interview and ask you to come as an intern depending on your performance.
  • You need to get the consent of your college to do the internship at IITB. You can ask the professor about the formalities for it. 

Though it seems simple to read, it will take a considerable amount of time, particularly finding a good professor. So, if you want to do an internship six months from now, you should start as soon as possible. You can always take the help of the faculties in your current B.Tech college. If there is any faculty who has direct contact with any of the professors in IITB, that will be the best way.

You can bypass all the above steps by getting a recommendation from the faculty. If you successfully complete an internship, it will make the professor happy, and he might be willing to give a recommendation letter, which is very valuable for your higher studies.

No doubt all the institutes you mentioned are excellent in their respective standards and fields. But the primary element that should be stressed before choosing a college is what kind of MBA you are looking for. You should determine the specialization you are willing to go for, the kind of curriculum and crowd you are expecting, and various other factors.

You need to keep in mind that an MBA degree will pose just as a stepping stone to success and cannot guarantee your success. The ultimate determining factor is the level of knowledge you gain and how you perform throughout.

All the Institutes you mentioned are top-notch and are globally recognized knowledge hubs. You cannot make a choice just on the basis of your preference. You will have to work tremendously hard to make it into these esteemed institutes.
