What Students Say

Likes

The friends that I have made here till now
The fact that everyone is shocked in my family that I have reached IIT Bombay even though I was from general category
When someone asks me to which college I am from I say IIT Bombay with pride

Dislikes

Hostel facilities are not up to the mark.
The exams are too hard to pass and get a good grade in.
The grading system is not that good and placement for chemical is average

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

I chose this course because I wanted to experience life at IIT Bombay and Chemical engineering is one of the most interesting and important subjects for mankind. Faculty student ratio is 1:148 Faculty is well versed in their subjects Exams are timely but difficult

Class Size: 150Course Fees: INR 300000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Internships are available for students who want them but companies only take 3rd year students for internships so 2nd year students have to avail for internships outside campus if they want one. But the internships for 3rd year students are pretty high paying.

Placement Experience

3.5

Placements of IIT Bombay are relatively better than most colleges in India but placements in Chemical engineering are not that good. The median package for Chemical department was 16 lap last year which is not good at all

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees is very high especially for general category students like myself . My tuition fee is around 12 lakh for 4 years . There are scholarships available but I can't avail them because my family earning is not extremely poor but it is not very good either.

Campus Life

4.5

Annual fest is Mood Indigo which is Asia's largest cultural fest and Techfest at IIT Bombay is also one of India's finest. Campus life is pretty good especially because of good friends and intelligent people around.

Hostel Facilities

Hostel facilities are not good at all. The washrooms are extremely compact and one barely fits in them. The rooms are small. The mess food is average. Overall hostels can be improved upon but you can survive in them if you have good friends

Hostel Fee: INR 60000 per year

Admission

Entrance exam :JEE Advanced My ALL India Rank : 2479 General Category The cutoff rank for general category was 2846 rank and I comfortably got Chemical engineering. I prepared for JEE since 11th grade from Allen Jaipur

My perspective about my college!!

Likes

Such a huge campus and it is located not far from the city so bus and autos are always available.
Our canteens serves Misal Pav which is next level.
For a city like Amravati and a college like ours, having a tech fest is a dream but since 2022, we have been hosting a tech event called Techlons.

Dislikes

Crowd is not that amazing as most students are non-serious over here.

Placement Experience:

TCS trains us in the third year and L&T Infotech and TCS are the ones who hired students. Almost half the students were taken by these two companies with an annual salary of 6 lakhs or so. For a freshers to work in such companies is a privilege and I am glad, we get this opportunity at our college.

A Brief Theory Round Of Aissms College Of Engineering

Likes

The campus is quite big and there are proper laboratories for every subject , also the faculty is quite helpful and helps student to settle up and get along so that the teaching and doubt interaction is built up from the starting
We have metro station right outside the gate of college so the travelling is quite simple
It's also good to have a college stationary right inside the campus and with discount too!

Dislikes

The benches are small which kind off makes the students uncomfortable to sit for more than 2 hours in that space
Canteen hygiene is not maintained at all
There's no underground parking for students and lack of space for parking of two wheelers

Placement Experience:

Placements are quite good in Aissms College Of Engineering in comparison to the other one institute of Information technology. I personally have even saw seniors getting placements when they were in placement round room. And looking at all the boards the college has put up and I can definitely says that the college does get placements and companies do come

Living and Learning at IIT Bombay: My Review

Likes

Faculty and teaching assistants are so friendly and are with great experience and wisdom.
Other than education many other activities take place like NCC, NSS, sports competitions, inter IIT competitions, etc.,
Ragging, student and gender abuse are strictly banned

Dislikes

sometimes we have to work till midnight for any tech teams, any assignments, etc., if the submission is not done in proper time. But faculty don't keep any pressure or stress on students to do certain tasks

Placement Experience:

Job placements starts from 3rd year 2 nd semester or 4th year 1st semester. Many Multi National Companies, like Amazon, Google, Sony, etc.,, come to hire students. Almost 70 % of the students get jobs. Atfer completing graduation, few people begin their startups and other businesses with the knowledge gained in the university.
