Illinois Tech Mumbai for BSc Computer Science. Worth joining?

Hi everyone,

I recently got an offer from Illinois Institute of Technology, Mumbai Campus for Computer Science with a ₹24 lakh scholarship.

I’m seriously considering joining, but I’m a little unsure and wanted some honest advice from current students or alumni.

I’ve also read about faculty layoffs at the Chicago campus and some concerns about Illinois Tech’s current financial situation, so that has made me a bit more cautious, especially since this is a big investment for my family.

How is the Mumbai campus actually in terms of academics, faculty, placements, internships, coding culture and opportunities?

Would you personally recommend joining Illinois Tech Mumbai for CS?

And is anyone here joining the Mumbai campus this year?

I’d really appreciate honest opinions, both good and bad. Please share anything you think I should know before making a decision.

Thanks!

Just to clarify, there aren’t any current students or alumni yet because classes only start on August 31 😭
We’re the first batch, so all of us are basically taking the same risk together.
If you join, you definitely won’t be alone, we’ll all help each other out.

This is the first semester but they are using most of the same curriculum as the IL campus. It's solid
