IIT Bombay: admission, courses & exams
For the usual IIT Bombay B.Tech route, verify JEE Advanced and JoSAA requirements. The institute publishes separate academic, hostel and mess charges for new entrants. Compare historical cutoffs only after matching programme, year, round, seat category and gender pool.
Courses
How does undergraduate admission work?
For the usual B.Tech route, candidates use JEE Advanced followed by JoSAA registration and choice filling. JEE Main is not the IIT B.Tech allocation rank. Other degree programmes have separate admission processes; this page does not apply the undergraduate route to every IIT Bombay course.
Which eligibility documents should you verify?
Read the applicable JEE Advanced brochure, JoSAA business rules and institute reporting instructions. Check examination eligibility separately from eligibility for a seat. Retain the current-year academic, identity and category documents required by the official process. Resolve ambiguous cases with the responsible authority before submitting choices.
Verified new-entrant fees: Autumn 2026–27
The official IIT Bombay new-entrant fee page lists academic charges of ₹1,34,150 for Indian GEN/EWS/OBC-NCL students and ₹34,150 for SC/ST/PwD students. It lists hostel charges of ₹19,950 and a separate mess advance of ₹22,500. These are published entry-semester components, not an annual or total-degree cost. Check the applicable fee circular for remission, deposits, adjustments and subsequent semesters. A seat-acceptance payment may be adjusted against institute charges under the published process; do not add every displayed payment mechanically.
How should you compare cutoffs?
Open JoSAA opening and closing ranks and explicitly select 2026 or the historical year you need. Match IIT Bombay, the exact programme, allocation round, seat type and gender pool. OPEN ranks and reserved-category ranks are different rank scales. A number without those labels is insufficient for a useful comparison. No numerical cutoff is copied here without its complete source context.
Prepare a course and cost shortlist
Record programme preference, curriculum, published academic charges, hostel and mess costs, refundable deposits and travel costs separately. Use the current official programme and reporting information. Keep a source URL and check date beside each figure so an older fee or rank cannot silently become a current claim.
Before counselling and reporting
Check the official schedule, permitted choices, document requirements and payment steps. Use the portal to verify allocation and reporting instructions. Historical cutoffs describe an earlier allocation; they do not guarantee a future seat. Our counselling service can help organise questions and a shortlist, while the authority decides eligibility and allocation.
