Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

Excellent college overall. The research opportunities are unmatched — I published a paper in my 3rd year. Placements are outstanding with top companies visiting campus. The workload is heavy and the first semester is a shock to the system, but you adapt. Hostel facilities could be better but the academic environment more than compensates.

IIT Bombay has been a life-changing experience. The faculty are world-class researchers who are also great teachers. Placement season was intense but rewarding — I received offers from Google and Goldman Sachs. The campus infrastructure is excellent with 24/7 labs, a huge library and great sports facilities. The peer group here is exceptional and you learn as much from your classmates as from the faculty.
