Leaving their kids to fend for themselves when they move to college is difficult for all parents. Amidst the hushed excitement and nervous farewells, and eyes brimming with pride – parents of UG entrants to IIT Bombay accompanied their freshmen offspring as the latter stepped into their new living abode – their hostel rooms.

Understanding this bittersweet moment, Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri, Director, IIT Bombay, along with Prof. S. Sudarshan, Deputy Director (AIA), and Prof. KVK Rao, Deputy Director (FEA), and the Registrar, visited a few hostels to personally take stock of the hostels and facilities on campus and interact with first-year UG entrants and their parents.

The Institute dignitaries assured parents that IIT Bombay will not take the trust placed in them for granted and that their children will be well taken care of on campus.
