IIT Bombay Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: Because the JoSAA steps were clear, getting into IIT Bombay felt simple for me and the document checking at the centre was well managed while updates about fees and admission came regularly.

Academic: One thing I like is that teachers help us whenever we reach out. The syllabus in the new curriculum is quite relevant but also a bit packed. We do get a whole year to choose subjects we like, which is very useful. Exam difficulty keeps changing every semester, but with steady study, passing is possible.

Placement: To be honest, placements here are okay but not as hyped as shown in newspapers. They are slightly above average. The best thing is the peer group; students are very energetic and helpful. You grow a lot because of your friends and alumni. Highest packages usually go to software roles and someone in my branch got 35 LPA.

Campus: The campus has everything students need. Wi Fi is available all across the campus. The central library is huge and departments have their own small libraries too. Classrooms are located in lecture complexes and departmental buildings. New hostels are very good and older ones are upgraded over time. There is also a hospital and a large gymkhana inside campus.

Admission: Entering IIT Bombay through JoSAA felt a bit busy at first but staff support during registration made it easier and doubts about documents were answered fast while pre orientation sessions helped a lot.

Academic: The curriculum here is planned for overall growth. Teachers have great research backgrounds and long experience. Sometimes exams are purposely set tough so that we learn from mistakes and become stronger for future challenges.

Placement: Big recruiters like Boeing, Airbus, HAL, BMW and TATA visit our campus for roles such as lead engineer, production engineer and chief designer. Because of this, around 80% to 85% students from our department get placed. The remaining students usually go for higher education.

A multi specialty hospital is on campus and sports facilities include indoor stadiums, hockey, football and an athletic swimming pool.

Academic: Most of our teachers have their own style of teaching, some even use special study material and open book exams. The new curriculum is very job oriented and helps us get industry ready. But honestly, semesters can get dificult depending on how smart you are and how much you study for the subject.

Placement: Around 95% students here manage to get placed, which is very impressive. Each person has their own satisfaction level with the job they get. Top companies like Microsoft, Google and Bain & Company recruit here. Many students lean towards consulting roles.

Campus: Occasionally I feel some facilities are mixed, but mostly the department is well equipped with AC rooms and full Wi Fi. Teachers are experienced. Some hostels are excellent while a few have issues, which is a bit disapointing. LAN and Wi Fi are free. Mess food is hygienic and medical care is very good. Every hostel also has its own sports ground.

Admission: During my admission, the JoSAA counselling for IIT Bombay felt easy to follow because choice filling and seat acceptance were clear and online document checking was fast with reporting updates shared on time.

Professors here are extremely accomplished, with lots of patents, published papers and even books. In the later years, while doing projects with them, they guide us even more closely.

Admission: Looking back, my admission at IIT Bombay was very smooth as counselling, seat acceptance and the online document checks were handled clearly by staff who guided us through each step.

Academic: For me, the overall teaching atmosphere is nice because most professors help a lot. But the semester exams are extremely tough, and only students who cleared JEE Advanced earlier find them comfortable. Attendance is also compulsory and malpractices are not strictly controlled, which I personally noticed.

Placement: In my experience, most students who want a job after graduation end up getting placed. For civil engineering, the average package is around 23 LPA and the highest reached an impressive 98 LPA. Those who don't sit for placements usually have other plans like preparing for government exams, starting a business or studying further.

Campus: At IIT Bombay, the facilities are truly top class. Hostels have Wi Fi, the classrooms and library are air conditioned and there are many canteens with good food.
