This trend continues with 24 out of top 25 choosing IIT Bombay, 47 out of top 50, 72 out of top 100 and 179 out of top 500 taking admission to IIT Bombay.
Welcoming the new entrants, the Institute Director Prof. Shireesh Kedare said, “I am proud that IIT Bombay remains the preferred destination for most of the top rankers in the JEE (Advanced) examination. We welcome the students and congratulate them for having selected the best educational path, suited to their aspirations and goals.”
