IIT Bombay offers you the best, but still has scope for improvement - which you can bring about! :)

The course curriculum is outdated as per global standards but within India, it is still among the best and most updated Though it does not hamper your learning as the basics are made clear, and the research faculty is doing is in very advanced stages, hence if students are genuinely interested, they can reach out to Professors and learn about the latest happenings all around the world in their field. The faculty-student ratio is also good at IIT Bombay at about 1:10. In some departments it may differ. Professors are among the best not only in India but in the world. You will find all types here, those who are into research, those who like teaching, and those who are a mix of both. The rule is simple if you want to learn something you'll get the best for it here, but you'll have to ask for it. Term exams are tough and the timeline is very strictly followed.

Internship companies are again somewhat similar to placements. They offer stipends ranging from ?50k/month to ?12Lakh/month. Companies come from all sectors, finance, consulting, core, IT, software, etc. A few companies are Flow Traders, Optiver, Bain, NRI, Cashflo, etc. Projects are not officially required as such, but students can willingly opt for them under the guidance of the Professor of their choice based on their interests. The outcomes of projects are mostly research publications or conference paper presentations.

Campus placements start in the pre-final semester and are completed before the beginning of the final semester. Everyone is placed somewhere or the other, might or might not receive their dream offer or company, but generally, everyone is able to convert a decent firm's decent offer. BCG, Google, Microsoft, Bain, Mckinsey, Cohesity, Blackrock, Kearney, and Strategy& are a few of the companies that visit regularly. Highest package runs in crores (?4cr/year) for international locations - Hongkong or the US. The highest within India is also close to ?2.5cr, the average package is ~?25LPA. Greater than 95% of students get decent placements. I'll be exploring jobs after the degree, and might go for higher education as well sometime after experiencing a few years.

The fee is modestly close to the? 2,00,000 per year for tuition fees, additionally you'll have to pay? 90,000 for the mess, hostel, sports, hospital and other facilities for an entire year. Hence, the total fee for a year is closer to the? 2,90,000. It might seem huge, but you'll not have to pay a penny outside this and you'll get all the services at IIT Bombay included in this itself. Normally free revision is done by a separate committee every year, and it is as per the policies which are quite legitimate. I did not receive any scholarships as they are only given to students from economically weaker sections and there are provisions for such scholarships. Students whose family income is less than ? 8,00,000 and whose CPI>6.0 are not required to pay tuition fees under Merit-Cum-Means Scholarship. The full fee is waived for students with less than ? 5,00,000 income. There are plenty of other named scholarships by our Alumni and believe me, funds won't be a problem if you want to study at IIT Bombay.
