IIT Bombay was the first preference of 401 students (out of top 1000 rankers) in 2016, which dipped to 395 in 2017. However, in 2018, it increased to 542 and then to 597 in 2019.

Placements

IIT Bombay is also known for its successful placement seasons. In the recent placement season of IIT Bombay, almost 400 recruiters offered over 1500 jobs to the students in the first phase. The number of job offers has been increasing and decreasing since 2017. There were approximately 1,114 job offers made in 2017 which increased to 1,112 and 1,319 in 2018 and 2019. It then jumped to 1,878 in 2021 and has already touched 1,500 in the first phase of the 2022 placement season.

Even the average salary has seen a steady increase in the past five years. The average salary of the 2017 placement season was 11.41 lakh per annum (approx), which then went up to Rs 18.5 lakh per annum (approx) in 2018 and then to Rs 10.34 lakh per annum (approx) in 2019. Even though there was a slight dip to Rs 18.40 lakh per annum (approx) in 2020, which could have been a result of the Covid pandemic, IIT Bombay picked up the amount again and touched Rs 22.7 lakh per annum (approx) in 2021.
