IIT Bombay scholarships: The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT B) is one of the top engineering colleges in the country where all JEE toppers aspire. With cut-throat competition, IIT Bombay stands tall in its claims of placement, salary package and education. Moreover, the institute is one of the first IITs to set up a support group for the LGBTQ+ community on campus through the formation of the Saathi Club in 2011.

Apart from the above criteria, the Bombay-based institute also provides various scholarships for the students, while some are in the form of college fee concessions, others come as direct benefit transfers to the students’ bank accounts. Students need to remember that continuation of assistantship, fellowship or scholarship will be subject to monthly attendance and satisfactory academic performance by the student.
