Old IIT Bombay Pictures

... Still under construction

This webpage is purposefully build old antique, just HTML, to give an original feel of old pictures of IIT Bombay.

Images identified/collected with help of my friend Ninad the Gujju (CMINDS).

If you find any picture which can be re-created in today's time, please let me know.

You may try clicking on some of the images to see (if lucky) the current version (2024). But this is still under construction....
