MESSAGE FROM TEAM ISCP
Hello, Friends!
We hope you are just excited to be a part of IIT Bombay as we are. Hearty congratulations on
this incredible feat! Institute Students Companion Program (ISCP) welcomes you to one of the
most resourceful campuses in India. The next two or three years are going to be the most
memorable, impactful, insightful and life-changing years which will fly past. We hope you
imbibe as much as you can and more from your peers, seniors, faculty, and staff. Here’s to
your first glimpse of ISCP, the backbone of your journey through the mecca of learning.
ISCP is a program within IIT Bombay Post Graduate (PG) student community. Its primary
objective is to develop an atmosphere of cordial interaction amongst the PG entrants and the
PG seniors. It will encourage the flow of information, knowledge, and sharing of experiences
among the students.
Life in IIT Bombay can appear a little daunting at times, balancing between the academic
workload and the plethora of extra-curricular activities. And that is where ISCP can help you
blend in and make the most of it. ISCP strives to provide a senior student companion as a
mentor to all newly admitted students. New entrants can contact their assigned companion to
discuss their academic and non-academic issues or concerns. Student Companions enable the
smooth and gentle transition from the graduation days to post-graduation days. New entrants
also feel assured that there is somebody on campus to help them and listen to their concerns.
Many times they find a caring friend in companions.
What to expect from a Student Companion:
● Initial information about the campus, courses, academics and extracurricular
activities.
● Support in case of any problem or difficulty.
● Organization of various academic and non-academic activities for student’s
development.
● Continuous interaction and feedback from students on their needs and requirements.
In short, this is a program by the students of IIT Bombay, for the new students to ensure their
overall development through utilization of all the available resources at IIT Bombay.
Let the learning begin. Feel free to contact us anytime!!

MESSAGE FROM PGAC
Dear Freshmen,
On behalf of all the Master’s students at IIT Bombay, it is my honor to welcome you all here.
Congratulations on having made it to one of the premier technical institutes of the country.
You are now a part of the IITB PG community and there is an exhaustive number of services
and facilities available to ensure a fruitful educative experience. As postgraduate students,
you have already been exposed to university level education. While you will delve deeper into
understanding your area of interest better, I urge you to explore more. There are several
student-led bodies on campus focusing on the development of skills, sports and
extracurricular activities such as dance, drama, music, etc. Your experience will be what you
make of it, and your opportunities will be limited only by the limits you place on yourself. Utilize
the opportunities to the best of your ability. Along with academics, do explore and make the
most of the excellent facilities the institute has to offer.
As the Institute Masters Representative, my team and I, aim to address your grievances and
help you to the best of our abilities. Supporting you in your academic endeavors is our
foremost priority and we will strive to improve the IITB experience in all the ways we can. On

Ocean Engineering (CE-5)
It is a relatively new course in Civil Department compared to other specializations. It has
mainly three fields, viz.,
1. Structures: -
Offshore: Fixed, floating and compliant structures.
Coastal: Port and harbor structures, seawall, etc.
2. Sediment transport and beach nourishment.
3. Climate change.
The design procedure of Offshore structures is same as that of onshore structures but there
will be additional forces coming due to waves and the environment will be extreme. So, the
main task is to find these wave forces with the help of studies about waves, their nature, the
theories that are used to determine the hydrodynamic parameters of waves and theories about
the coastal and ocean environment. Wave Simulator, A physical wave flume testing facility with
computer-controlled wave maker is established. The wave maker is capable of generating
regular, random and non-linear waves of different heights and periods. A range of instruments
such as wave gauges and underwater dynamic pressure sensors are also recently acquired.

CIVIL ENGINEERING ASSOCIATION (CEA)
The Civil Engineering Association at IIT Bombay, or CEA, was formed with the primary purpose
of exposing our students, civil-engineers-to-be, to the rigors of the profession. With both
students and faculty as its members, the organization is one of the most active civil
engineering associations in the country. The association is also involved in publications with
its annual magazine - 'YELLOW', an informal newsletter - 'BLUEPRINT', a technical research
letter - 'INQUEST' and 'SENTIENCE' - for highlighting the latest civil engineering innovations.
Apart from the technical aspects, it also undertakes the responsibility of proper nurturing of
students by organizing some social events as a part of extracurricular. "Freshers Day" as the
break the ice event for the newcomers, intradepartmental sports and cultural events at UG as
well as PG level, department trek, and trips etc. are some of the events which are organized by
CEA throughout the year.

ACHIEVEMENTS
PG Sports
PG Sports has a place of pride in the IITian's calendar for obvious reasons. It is an event that
witnesses the confluence of sports enthusiasts and celebrates excellence, endeavor and team
spirit. This is a much-needed diversion from the rigorous routine academics, bringing with it
promises of an energizing and exhilarating experience. At the participation and organizational
levels, this is a wide entry into a whole new world of opportunities. IIT Bombay clearly exposes
the adage ' a sound mind in a sound body'. A fine balance between a robust physique and a
sharp mind is the prerequisite for a healthy meaningful life. All PG aspirants can be a part of
this celebration
