[Link in bio] The senior survey* website showcases responses from IITB’s graduating batch of 2025, offering a glimpse into their experiences, choices and reflections of their time in insti. The survey is divided into four key sections: Demographics, Academic Performance Career Planning and Lifestyle And Social. We have also included some comments about their time and experiences here at IITB at the end of the Lifestyle And Social section.

This website can be best experienced on a personal computer/tablet. Further, in case you’re using a mobile phone to view the website, kindly switch to the landscape mode for a better experience. You can hover over/click on the various sections within the graphs to view the option it’s supposed to represent for ease of interpretation. For the questions with responses filtered further on the basis of demographics such as gender or CPI, you can click on the segment buttons to view the chart for that particular demographic segment. We hope you have a fun time going through the survey!

Disclaimer: *Please note that this survey was completed by 282 students, which represents only a subset of the entire graduating student population of over 2,400 students. It is important to acknowledge that the findings presented here may not entirely reflect the views and experiences of the whole graduating student body.

We, the editors of Insight (supposedly skilled in writing, definitely broke) present to you: The Sting. Insight’s first edition this tenure explores what happens when intellect meets impulse. A deep dive into the irrational, unsustainable, and occasionally revolutionary spending habits of your average IITB student, where campus life meets cold reality, dressed up in literally sarcasm.

Disclaimer: All content presented in this post is satirical and is meant for humour purposes only.

"With great power comes great responsibility." But what happens when this responsibility falls through the cracks? Faculty autonomy is an integral part of academic life at IITB. Yet, the absence of clear checks and accountability at certain junctures causes this autonomy to blend into unchecked discretion, impacting student learning, transparency, and fairness. This article is not an attack on this freedom, but an attempt to reflect and, in fact, strengthen this autonomy.

In the third edition of our comic series In Plain Sight, we turn to a perennial phenomenon on the campus calendar: gala dinners. The decor is familiar, the playlist predictable, and the gates stand firm, guarded with the rigidity of bureaucracy and the precision of a scalpel.
The line between insider and outsider? Never clearer.

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”. Yet the campus spells a completely different story. Skipping sleep has now become the norm for achieving anything meaningful in insti. Sleep, a very integral aspect of health, is ironically the most convenient sacrifice for academics, PoRs, tech teams and whatnot. This article is not a lecture on sleeping on time – it is rather an attempt to understand if the issue is purely conceived out of choice, or systematic problems beyond our control.

“It doesn't change my perception of you, I'll still keep caring for you and be there for you.” - Words that every person yearns to hear when they open up about their identity to a friend, companion or loved one. Everyone, of every gender identity and sexual orientation is deserving of that acceptance. Let’s listen when it’s hard, learn when we’re confused, and show up. Not just during June, but always.

Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈
