Hello, It is obvious that the cut-off rank for IIT-Bombay is pretty high as compared to IIT-Kharagpur. One major factor responsible for such cut-off at IITB is its location. The metropolitan city attracts lots of students. This might be a factor for a higher cut-off at IIT-Kharagpur. There are many students here who don't have a good JEE rank, but outperform those having a good rank in college. All that matters is how sincere and diligent you are in the college. Your choice of the college will be influenced by various factors. If you want to enjoy your IIT life caring less about academics, or are not interested in core sector then you would prefer IIT-B. However, if you are into academics and are quite motivated towards research or a job in the core sector then IIT-Kharagpur is the best option. When it comes to academics, IIT-K has the toughest academic curriculum in the country. The aerospace department at IIT-Kharagpur is renowned for its academic curriculum, research facilities, faculty and the quality of students it produces. Aerospace department at IIT-K has the best faculty in the country, With most of the professors in the department being IIT-K alumni, there exists a friendly and healthy interaction between faculty and students.

IIT-Mumbai is far better than IIT-Kharagpur in all streams though many times CSE placement statistics clash with one another when talking about infrastructure. In aerospace branch the highest placement from Aerospace in IIT, Bombay is Rs.23 Lacs in Airbus France whereas it was 19 Lacs in IIT, Kharagpur from Boeing. Also, the average placement packages were 13 Lacs and 10 Lacs in the respective institutes. Although it is tougher to get into IIT-Mumbai than in IIT-Kharagpur, so one may also opt for aerospace in IIT, Kanpur which is there in all the IITs.

Both are the good IITs of India but IIT, Bombay is the best one so one has to score a less rank as compared to IIT, Kharagpur for getting admission here. Obviously, IIT-Bombay is the most wanted and first choice amongst all students. Best features of IIT, Bombay: 1. It is one of the few IITs which is located in the midst of the city. Other IITs (except IIT Delhi in older IITs) are settled at the outskirts of the city. 2. IIT Bombay’s annual fests organized by student body like Mood-Indigo (Cultural) and Techfest (Technical) are highly recognized and popular in the student community and claimed to be biggest at Asia level. 3. IIT, Bombay organizes the most number of events (probably by any institution in India). Everyday there is some or the other event going on the campus- either a seminar series in some department, or a drama play or a movie screening, etc. 4. Performing Arts Festival (PAF) and Valfi are the unique functions organized only by IIT Bombay. You can get more information about these events on the internet. 5. IIT Bombay is surrounded by a hill (Sameer hill) on one end and a lake on the other (Powai Lake). 6. The nearest local railway station from IIT Bombay is Kanjurmarg station. The rail-track has a platform on both the sides so you can get in and out from any side. These are the things which attract students and this is the first and the best choice apart from other colleges, even other IITs.

I think comparing both these institutes on the basis of ranks is not unto mark as everyone knows that both the undergraduate programmes offered are worldwide renowned. Talking about the programme of IITK - It has the toughest curriculum in the country presently. If you are interested in the core field then IITK is the best institution in the country as there are extensive research offered at the university premises for the students at the campus. The aerospace departments in the IITK has the best faculty for the study in the area with the best research facility in the country, faculty and quality of the students in the country. Aero department is the best citation after IISc-Bangalore in the country. As far as the placements are concerned AIrbus, GE, Mitsubishi, HAL, DRDO, ISRO also recruit a large no. of candidates on the basis of their eligibility. Again the IIT-Bombay is also one of the concerned best departments in the country. Also, some of the prominent recruiters are Airbus, Jet Airways, HAL, DRDO, etc. for the field of aerospace.
