Guidance and support:

Students are advised by a faculty advisor for their specialization and year of admission (FacAd). Additionally, students can approach DUGC and other bodies for special cases of support needed, such as those depicted here. Students lagging in academic performance must seek counsel from their faculty advisors, and are encouraged to opt for reduced coursework as described in the rule book. Students who are unable to complete the required courses in time can opt to catch up by enrolling in summer courses. They must let the department office know of their requested courses well in advance before the summer vacation starts. Students must note that the department may not always be able to find a willing faculty member to teach the requested course over the summer vacation.

Internships and placements:

BTech students who are not pursuing summer courses can opt for summer internships during the first three summer vacations of their curriculum. Most students find internships on their own.

Students usually participate in job placement activities organized by IITB towards the end of their second-last semester. For more information about internship and job opportunities through IITB’s placement programme, please visit this page. The department boasts of its strong placement records year after year.

Student exchange with foreign universities:

For more information about exchange opportunities, please visit this page. Credits for courses successfully completed at other universities can be transferred towards the student’s degree in Electrical Engineering with the approval of the faculty advisor who will examine the equivalence with the courses offered at IITB.
