If you're looking to change your branch at IIT Bombay, there are two main factors that will determine how easy or difficult it is for you:

  1. Other students who are also looking to change their branch - The demand for different branches at IITB is divided into three categories: high-level demand (Computer Science & Engineering and Electrical Engineering), mid-level demand (Engineering Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering), and low-level demand (all other branches).
  2. Your own priorities and aptitude - You'll need to decide how much time you want to dedicate to studying vs. extracurricular activities, and where you fit relative aptitude compared to other students.

Here's a breakdown of what these factors mean for you:

Role of the first factor:

  • Demand for different branches at IIT Bombay is based largely on which branch offers better job opportunities and salaries, so some branches are more competitive than others.
  • Depending on the level of demand for your desired branch, it may be harder or easier to get a COB.

Role of the second factor:

  • Depending on how much time you want to dedicate to studying vs. extracurricular activities, and where you fit relative aptitude, you may find it easier or harder to get a COB.
  • Specifically, you can think of yourself as falling into one of the following categories:
  • Most of the time dedicated to studying and least to the extracurrics (MSLE)
  • Equal amount of dedication and time to both studies and extracurrics (ESE)
  • Least time given to studies and most to the extracurrics (LSME)
  • Students with above average aptitude (AAA)
  • Students with average aptitude (AA)
  • Students with below-average aptitude (BAA)

Overall, getting a COB at IIT Bombay will depend on a combination of these factors, so it's important to be realistic about your chances and make sure you're prepared to put in the effort needed to succeed.
