[Link in Bio] Placements - a word that defines months of anticipation, anxiety, and ambition for every IIT Bombay student. Yet, behind the glossy statistics and success stories lies a system that isn’t always as smooth or transparent as it appears.
In a first-of-its-kind 3-part series, Insight aims to turn the spotlight on IIT Bombay’s placement process and the PT Cell. Grounded in the voices of hundreds of students who shared their experiences through our survey, this series aims to highlight the recurring concerns, and the pressing need for reform.
Part 1 of the series sets the stage, breaking down how the placement process works and examining the pre-placement phase, from the ever-changing incentive structure of PPTs and tests to inconsistencies in slotting of companies.
Parts 2 & 3 of this series will talk about other crucial facets of the process, from logistical and slotting challenges to alumni influence, waitlists, walk-ins, misbehaviour by companies, and the power dynamics of student members, so stay tuned!

IIT Bombay’s digital infrastructure is deeply rooted in everyday campus life, yet it continues to be a point of contention among students. Each semester, the course registration portal experiences disruptions, with the scheduled start time frequently being pushed ahead. It is also marked by dysfunctional operations (such as short-circuiting of the server, which resulted in the halt of the working of Instiapp and Resobin for half a year), and a 6-month-long re-wiring of the LAN cables in the institute to build a reliable network. This article highlights the reason behind all these problems and suggests possible solutions to the overall functioning of the institute’s systems.

[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.
