Which one should I choose between IIM Kozhikode or IIT Bombay SJMSOM? Why?

AS
Anuraj Sinha Posted On : April 20th, 2022
Mechanical from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (2017)

You should choose IIM Kozhikode. SJMSOM is a good B-School and maintained a decent record over the last few years. However, choosing IIM Kozhikode will offer you the brand value advantages of IIM and long-term returns. 

IIM Kozhikode has a better faculty base for management. You will also get good opportunities to attend lectures by some of the famous visiting faculty.

IIM Kozhikode placements are pretty good as well. As per the 2022 placement highlights, the median CTC offered to the students is around INR 26.5 LPA

How did you spend your last days at IIT Bombay?

AT
Adwait Tejas Posted On : March 17th, 2023
studied Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (2021)

Here is the experience of a student at IIT Bombay who has explained how he had spent his last days at IIT Bombay.

During the last 7 days, he experienced the most hectic and difficult days of his life at IIT. He was skipping almost a meal a day during those 7 days while developing a photobioreactor. This device converts sunlight into chemical energy using green algae which could be used for biodiesel and pharma-grade products. The experimental procedure was quite tedious and meticulous requiring measurement of 7 parameters every 4 hours, including the sweetest hours of sleep at 2 am and 6 am. 

Testing all 7 parameters would take 1-2 hours, and he was left with just 2 hours before he took the next reading. He had failed numerous times in the process of building up this technology over the last year.

Whenever he failed, he would start all over again and wash the whole setup. After so many failures, he finally succeeded and was able to file a patent on the technology. Although those were the worst, hard, and most satisfying days of his life, he is happy today when he looks back, and that's all that matters in the end.

Are exams at IIT Bombay tough?

SB
Sumit Bose Posted On : March 18th, 2023
IIT Bombay (2019)

Yes, exams conducted at IIT Bombay are quite tough given the competition at the institute. The exams usually test your understanding capabilities and not your learning capabilities.

I did one subject which was very difficult and involved a project demonstration in the end. But the professors teach the topics so well that you hardly have to mug up the concepts. 

Once the exams were conducted in a unique manner wherein, 

  • The students were allowed to open books as they were not able to solve the paper
  • The students requested the professor to extend the duration from 3 hrs to 5 hrs after which the students still could not finish the paper.
  • The students were then asked to take the paper home and were given 7 days to prepare for the presentation on the same. 

The game changed its course and because marks were not to be allotted on the basis of the presentation everyone prepared the concepts well and attended the open contest.

Advait Joshi Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

One of my friends completed his MTech in Biomedical Engineering from IIT Bombay and gave an insight into the placement scenario of the same course. Out of 16 students who attended placements from this course, 14 students were placed. Another friend told me that 11 out of 17 in his batch were placed under decent roles. The others opted out of placements.

A number of Biomedical companies like GE, Cerner, L&T etc visit the campus and offer decent roles. Many non core companies also allow Biomedical students to sit for their placements and sometimes offer good roles too.

A number of analytics and data science jobs are also offered. Top core roles offered here are Associate Analyst, Lab Analyst,etc. Many students even opt for PhD after MTech.

Which is the best hostel in IIT Bombay and why?

PD
Priyanka Das Posted On : March 18th, 2023
Studied Marketing at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai (2019)

My brother had the pleasure of staying at hostels 9, 16, and now 13 in chronological order. However, he claimed not one hostel had the complete facilities one expects in a hostel. I have described each hostel in a few pointers 

Hostel 9

  • Extremely small room difficult for even 2 people to share
  • The best food in the entire institute is served in this hostel
  • It has many facilities like a pool, a small footer field, basketball court, table tennis and makes your leisure time great 

Hostel 16

  • This hostel has some of the best rooms in the entire institute. The rooms are double occupancy but can easily be shared by more people.
  • If you are lucky enough to be allotted the 6th floor or above, you can get a spectacular view of Hiranandani.
  • The food is not very good

Hostel 13

  • The room is usually for PG or DD students
  • The rooms are single occupancy and are decked with decent facilities 
  • The food in the Mess is neither too good nor too bad.
  • The hostel has a wide range of extracurricular facilities. There is a TV room that can accommodate around 70–80 people. 
  • This hostel is most coveted because of the spectacular view of the Powai lake and the Hiranandani it offers.
