How was your experience at IIT Bombay during M.Tech?

My friend stayed at IIT Bombay only for a month but her experience was so amazing she couldn’t stop praising the institute. Some core points from the overall experience are:

• An orientation is conducted to introduce the basics of the MTech program for two days. Your seniors will interact with you and give you advice. A presentation related to the course curriculum will be played to deliver the necessary information.
• The first semester is pretty hectic as students are not used to the rigor and life at IIT Bombay.
• Students take courses worth 60 credits. Each subject carries 6 credits. During the first semester, students usually take 4 subjects with Software Lab being compulsory
• You are allotted 2 weeks to make a choice of 4 subjects. During these 2 weeks, you can attend lectures on any subject, interact with students and decide your elective accordingly.
• The institute offers some audit courses also wherein you have to just attend classes and not give exams. These are meant solely for learning.
• Attendance is taken through biometric ID cards.
• Classes usually start around 8: 30. The campus is so huge that most people rent bicycles or avail taxis that roam inside the campus.
• The class experience varies from subject to subject. All students have a good idea about most subjects since they have come through GATE.
• The faculty is really good apart from a few cases. Machine learning was taught by Preethi Jyothi, a P.hd from Ohio university. OS was taught by Mythili vutukuru, P.hd from MIT. Most of the teachers were cooperative and experienced.
• The most hectic part of IIT Bombay life is the culture of regular assignments. One is expected to write around 1000 or more lines of code each week and should not be copied from anywhere. They have software for detecting plagiarism. Strict action is taken if caught for plagiarism.
• Hostel facilities include double occupancy rooms with a decent LAN connection.
• The mess food is average and most students start going to the canteen after a few days. 

Life at IIT Bombay is definitely filled with fun and thrill and you will experience a roller coaster of emotions throughout m

The course work of IIT Bombay MTech is demanding. The subjects that felt easy in B.Tech won’t feel easy anymore. You will have to grind to score a decent CGPA. 

In the second year, you will have to do your project. The course work comparably decreases. Other than academics, there are good chances in sports, music, drama, etc.
