First batch of Indian institute of technology Bombay started their college life in 1958 in a Worli building before the campus was built in Powai and passed out in 1962. Around 100 students joined first batch of IIT. Now students from first batch will gather together this week at IITB for their golden jubilee reunion starting on Friday.
In this meet the batch will release a coffee-table book. The Pioneers: The Story of the First Batch of IIT Bombay, this weekend, featuring anecdotes, photographs and contributions from 1962 graduates.
The entire class of 1962 was male. Of the 73 students who graduated in the first convocation in 1962, 14 have passed away.
“I still remember Pandit Nehru laying the foundation stone,” said Sudhir Sharma, 72, a member of the batch, and the book’s editor.
“It was very exciting (to be in the first batch), and the bug of being in the pioneer batch has stuck to most of us,” said Jugal Tandon, 72, who finished with a BTech in metallurgical engineering.
