What was your routine in IIT Bombay?

Firstly, it's important to recognize that everyone follows a different routine. If you are starting a new journey at IITB, your routine may differ from others.

On a general working day, you may have labs/lectures in the morning and classes in the afternoon. Most days, there may be labs, so it's important to wake up early to have breakfast and rush for the labs which may start at 9:30 am. Labs may last until 12:30 pm, after which you can return to the mess for lunch and prepare for classes from 2–5 pm.

After 5 pm, it's a good idea to take a break and relax with friends for snacks and unwind for an hour. It's important to revise what was taught in the class for at most an hour. You can also attend orientations of various clubs in IIT or participate in cultural activities that interest you.

Dinner time can be spent in the mess with friends, having dinner and spending time. After dinner, you can engage in fun activities in your wing with friends or get some rest.

However, in the 2nd semester, you may have to focus more on developing programming skills like python and VHDL, and cut out some of the timepass activities. It's essential to update your routine day by day based on what you learn and what aspects you need to focus on.

Remember, IIT is an opportunity to learn various things, so don't let go of these precious four years of your life. It's important to keep that in mind and make the most of your time there.
