IIT Bombay Q&A on Admission, Fee, Courses, Placements, Cutoff

Yes, having 74.6% in Class 12 will likely not be a barrier to placement in top MNCs with high packages after completing a B.Tech in CS from IIT Bombay.

While some companies may have minimum percentage requirements in 10th and 12th (often around 60% or 70%), your IIT degree and branch (CS) are significant factors in your placement eligibility and the high packages you're targeting.

IITs have robust placement cells that facilitate these high-paying placements for their students.

Besides academics, skills, projects, and interview performance are also crucial for landing those high-paying jobs.

Thank you!!

I wanted to ask if I should persue btech in aerospace engineering from ajeenkya dy patil university in pune. If the placements and internships are good? Also if it is not a good option can ypu suggest a better option in Maharashtra except iit bombay

Hello,

Ajeenkya DY Patil University is a private university and offers BTech in Aerospace Engineering, but it is not very well known for this branch. The placements and internships for aerospace are not that strong here. Most companies that visit are for general branches like CSE or Mechanical, and core aerospace opportunities are limited.

If you are serious about aerospace, it is better to go for institutes like MIT-WPU Pune , COEP Technological University Pune , or Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT Pune), which have better reputation, faculty, and chances for internships and placements in core fields.

So, Ajeenkya DY Patil can be your backup option, but not the first choice.

Hope it helps !

Dear Sir/Madam,

The features of IIT Bombay in Metallurgy/Material science:

Brand value:Top IIT.
Alumini Network: Strongest in India.
Placement:Average 12 to 16 LPA related to core and Analytics .

The features of IIT Dhanbad in Electronics and communication Engineering:

Brand value: Middle tier.
Alumini Network: Less Exposure Compared to Mumbai.
Placement: Average 10 to 14 LPA and related to Tech.

Both colleges are good and the choice is yours.choose wisely based on your goals and interest.

If you want the IIT Bombay tag and switching career like software/MBA/Analytics can go for Metallurgy at IIT Bombay.

If you have more interest in Tech side and want flexibility in Tech core can go for ECE at IIT Dhanbad.

Sir i passed 12th (2023) in pcb in up board but i want do b tech in iit bombay through jee advanced can i do direct 12th in pcm in(2024)and can i eligible for iit jee

If you passed 12th in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) in 2023, you need to study PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Math) to be eligible for BTech in IIT Bombay through JEE Advanced. You can join 12th again with PCM subjects in 2024 and appear for JEE Main and Advanced after passing. This way, you become eligible because math is compulsory for engineering. So yes, you can do 12th again with PCM and then try for IIT through JEE. Keep working hard!

- IIT Bombay is a prestigious institution with excellent resources and opportunities.

- Cons:

- There's no guarantee that you'll improve your score or get into IIT Bombay.

- You'll have to prepare for another intense exam season.

Option 3: Pursue M.Tech from MIT (Manipal Institute of Technology)

- Pros:

- MIT offers a good M.Tech program with various specializations.

- You can gain expertise in your chosen field and enhance your career prospects.

- Cons:

- You'll need to complete your B.Tech before applying for M.Tech.

- You might need to take entrance exams like GATE or MET.

Considerations

- Your interests and priorities: Are you more interested in pursuing a B.Tech from IIT Bombay or an M.Tech from MIT?

- Your academic and career goals: Will a B.Tech from NIT Surathkal or an M.Tech from MIT align better with your goals?

- The risks and benefits of taking a drop year: Are you prepared to take the risk of not improving your score or getting into IIT Bombay?

Ultimately, the decision depends on your individual circumstances, priorities, and goals.

My college has all the necessary infrastructure, facilities and equipments from both academics and sports activities. It has Hostels for all the students from btech, mtech to phds so we don't have to look for the Pg outside the college.
