JEE Main 2025: Why IIT Bombay CSE Stands Out—Cut-offs, Placements, and More
IIT Bombay has been the top choice for engineering aspirants for many years. Its Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program is especially popular, with all 72 JEE toppers choosing the institute again this year.
The Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main 2025) is national-level engineering entrance exam conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The top 2.5 lakh candidates from JEE Main will qualify to appear for JEE Advanced 2025, organized by one of the IITs. Admission to IITs depends on JEE Advanced scores and meeting the minimum requirement of 75% in Class 12. The JEE Main 2025 will have two sessions, with the first session starting on January 22.
In the past seven years, except for 2022 and 2020, JEE Advanced AIR 1 toppers have consistently chosen IIT Bombay. Alongside IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi and IIT Madras are also among the top picks for students. These institutes rank as the best engineering colleges in India according to the NIRF 2024 rankings.
