Are you enjoying your life in IIT Bombay?

PG
Pratik Gandhi Posted On : March 17th, 2023
B.Tech. CSE, IIT Bombay

 Yes, absolutely. Life at IIT Bombay is extremely enjoyable. If you want to enjoy your life at IITB, here are some tips that you may find helpful:

  • Don't listen to others, especially when someone is giving you unnecessary advices. Not each one of the pieces of advice can be beneficial for you, so it's important to do what you want to do and not waste your non-academic time.
  • Don't worry about what others think of you. It's important to ignore people who are not good for you and live your life the way you want to.
  • Focus on building a great set of friends who you enjoy spending time with. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to friendships.
  • If you don't feel like you need to attend every summit or cultural or sports event, then don’t. Do the things that interest you and bring you joy, rather than being guided by anyone.
  • Develop good study habits and study regularly throughout the week.
  • Take time on the weekends to do things you enjoy, like watching movies, going out, talking to friends and family, or exploring your hobbies and interests.

Remember that it's important to not do things under peer pressure. Stay true to yourself and do what makes you happy, even if it's not what others expect of you. If you do so, you are going to enjoy your life at IIT Bombay to the fullest.

How was your experience at ISB Mohali in general? Did you ever feel like you should've been in Hyderabad instead?

AK
Adarsh Kumar Posted On : January 30th, 2023
MBA from Indian School of Business (2020)

My cousin belonged to the Mohali campus of ISB and during her exchange term, she observed and compared the pros and cons of both campuses. I have listed the major pros of both colleges.

ISB Hyderabad

  • Huge batch size ensures peers from a variety of backgrounds.
  • The location is helpful for the students to maintain a good social life
  • ISB Hyderabad has a wider range of student-driven clubs and committed
  • The placement presentations take place at the Hyderabad campus and Mohali students get to join through a video call only

ISB Mohali

  • ISB Mohali has very few resident faculty as it has been recently established. As a result, the institute calls in the best faculty from colleges like Wharton, UNC, and Kellogg to teach. Their pedagogy is unique and ISB Hyderabad lacks in this aspect.
  • The campus is new so the accommodation facilities are better and made to suit all the necessary requirements. These hostels have better furnishing, space, and housekeeping facilities in comparison to the hostels of ISB Hyderabad.
  • The small batch size ensures the quality over quantity belief
  • The choice of electives is done through online bidding at ISB. Hyderabad campus with its huge batch size makes it impossible for all the students to get their choice of electives. Mohali students, in turn, face no such problem because of the small batch size

ISB maintains a strict balance between both campuses and the placement statistics are a testament to that as no major differences can be observed.

Overall my cousin never regretted choosing Mohali over Hyderabad and recommends the same to everyone.
