HELLO CALVIN

CSE IIT Bombay is just excellent.

At the same time, it is flexible enough to allow YOU to choose our courses in fourth year. Besides, the minor program helps students to learn about other disciplines.

Other worth mentioning points:

You may argue that so is the case with all colleges. Remember, I'm not talking about speed here. I'm talking about connectivity. Most IITs have speed/time/download restrictions. IIT BOMBAY don't have any such issues

· Top quality lecture halls. You should definitely do a Google search about this. I won't speak much here.

· The CSE advantage. Everyone knows that the JEE rank cutoffs for IITB CSE are close to 50. When you meet your friends at other colleges, they automatically see you with respect.
