IIT Bombay offers perhaps the most flexible engineering curricula in the country to its students. The diverse skill of the student pop-ulation and the extensive theoretical knowl-edge they have will definately make them as assest to any organisation. At IIT Bombay, we believe that Practical Training or Internship is an integral portion of a student’s overall de-velopment and we encourage students to take up projects in industry and academia so that they can be better prepared for their future careers.

The Training Cell facilitates this by providing a convenient interface for the companies to interact with students they will be hiring at a later stage, something that can only be mutu-ally beneficial for both the student body and for industry. I wish the students, companies and universities participating in this process the very best of luck.

IIT-Bombay - First Choice of JEE toppersThe Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) has once again proved that it is the first choice for majority of the 2011 Joint Entrance Test (JEE) top rankers. JEE is the en-trance exam that is conducted by the IITs and IT-BHU Varanasi and ISM Dhanbad to admit students in their institutes. Out of the top 100 rankers of the JEE exam, 70 students have opted for IIT-B as their first choice from the 15 IITs of the country. Last year, 67 students had chosen the IIT-B. Of the top 10 rankers, eight, including the top five are planning to get enrolled in IIT-B.

IIT Bombay

Devang Khakar, director, IIT-B, said, “It’s the first time we have touched 70. This has been the trend for sometime now where top rank-ers choose IIT-B. An overall assessment such as good programmes, extracurricular activi-ties and placements could have led to this trend. But more importantly, it is the flexible curriculum that we offer, which is unique to IIT-B that makes it most attractive. Students want the freedom to design their course.”

US News and World Report ranks IIT Bombay 1st in India and 30th in the world in Engineering.

“The combination of rigorous thinking, hard work and fundamentals is what you (gradu-ating students) have got from this great in-stitution and they will be buiding blocks in whatever career you may choose.” -Victor Menezes, CEO Citibank Inc, Alumunus IITB

“This is IIT Bombay. Put Harvard , MIT and Princeton together, and you begin to get an

idea of the status of this school in India.” -Lesley Stahl, co-anchor on CBS 60 minutes

Aerospace Engineering

Pratham: IIT Bombay Student Satellite ProjectThe IIT Bombay Student Satellite Project is a landmark project taken up by IIT Bombay students.The plan is to build a fully functional microsatellite in less than three years which would then be launched by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This is entirely a student initiative with mentorship provided by ISRO scientists and IIT Bombay Faculty.

“That’s an awesome project the kids at IIT-Bombay are doing. I am most impressed. When I was in college, I was building radios, not satellites! I wish them all the best. I don’t think they need “luck”. My two visits to India have left me more than a little impressed with Indian aerospace engineers.” - Michael Griffin, eleventh Administrator of NASA on Pratham

Nobody is born an aerospace engineer; it’s the passion that consumes you. - Professor S. D. Sharma, Head Of Department

The Department of Chemical Engineering at I.I.T. Bombay was established in 1958, with assistance from the Soviet Union under a UNESCO aid scheme. Initially it was or-ganized on the basis of specializations with distinct laboratories and academic programs. The main areas of research involved Unit Operations (Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer and Fluid Mechanics), Automation in Chemical Industries, Processes (Inorganic and Organic) and Technologies (Fuel, Silicate, Cellulose and Electrochemical). Over the years, the Department has diversified into several con-temporary areas of research, with an empha-sis on chemical engineering fundamentals. The overall academic program today reflects this status. However, specialization in par-ticular sub-disciplines is possible by through streamed electives and research projects.

Chemical Engineering

Today the Department Is recognized as a lead-ing one in India, primarily because of its strong academic program, large faculty strength and the breadth of their research areas. Several faculty members of the Department also participate in teaching and research activi-ties of various interdisciplinary programs of the Institute. The Department today boasts of a wide range of sophisticated experimental and computational facilities, built up through infrastructure-support grants and research projects from various governmental agen-cies (MHRD, DST, CSIR, DBT, etc.) as well as the industry. Currently, the department has about 350 undergraduate students, and over 200 postgraduate students (including re-search scholars).

The Department has established, and con-tinues to nurture an effective rapport with the industry. It provides services related to varied technologies by way of consultancy projects and continuing education courses. The intensity of the R&D engagement and industry-interaction of the department has been growing steadily over the years.

Chemistry Department

From a small department started in 1965, the Department of Chemistry has grown into a major center for teaching and research in Chemical Sciences in India. Our M.Sc and Ph.D graduates are routinely placed at the best institutions including our own and have been inducted as faculty members and scientists at prominent academic and research institutions worldwide with many coveted distinctions to their credit.

5-Yr Integrated M.Sc Chemistry ProgramThis program was offered for the first time in 1973 with an aim to groom budding research-ers in the field of Chemistry. Here, the students (selected through the IIT-JEE), are enrolled in a unique post higher secondary five year inte-grated M.Sc program.

In this program, a student covers certain com-pulsory courses in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry during the first two years. The later part of the curriculum is designed to offer them an opportunity to gain in-depth knowl-edge in various sub-disciplines of chemistry (namely Physical, Inorganic and Organic). The

department believes that exposure to research at the undergraduate level will go a long way in shaping the careers of the students .Thus, working as interns in a reputed institute or firm would reinforce the conceptual under-standing of our students and also teach them the practical knowledge and application of Chemistry in diverse fields.

Research WorkThe department also has a strong Ph.D. pro-gram with around 163 Ph.D. students work-ing under 30 faculty members with areas of research encompassing all major sub-dis-ciplines of chemistry. The Department gets various Publications every year in renowned journals like J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angewandte Chemie, J. Chem. Phys., J. Phys. Chem, Inorg. Chem., J. Org. Chem., Organometallics, Chem. Comm., Chem. Rev., Acc. Chem. Res. etc.There are numerous patents in the name of various professors of the department.

The department receives an annual fund-ing of about INR 50 million.This is primar-ily funded by major Indian and international funding agencies and supported by many de-partmental and institute central facilities like DST, BRNS, DAE, DBT, CSIR, ONR (USA), Indo-UK, Indo-German, Indo-Australia etc.The department also encourages strong link with industrial sponsored research.

Research Facilities • Faraday Magnetic Susceptibility Balance.• Excellent Library with access to all major

Journals, Sci-Finder, Chemical Abstracts etc.

• Many other advanced equipment e.g. SEM/TEM and AFM at SAIF and other sister departments.
