Sub: IIT Bombay AE Ph.D. Admissions: Instructions after Open House

Mail: 

Dear Applicant,

We held the Open House meeting on 7th Nov. If you were unable to attend it, we urge you to go through the recording of the meeting available on the admissions webpage: https://www.aero.iitb.ac.in/home/admission-announcement

It was apparent in the Open House that there is some confusion regarding the intent of the “Specialization and Faculty Interest” form. Some of you may want to edit your response to this form. We have changed the settings of the form so that you can do so now (until the deadline mentioned on the admissions webpage).

In the SAFE app, your email id is tied to a unique roll number that is common across the platform, and is valid for all time. So, if you ever registered on SAFE app – either (a) in a previous admission round, or (b) in the current round for another department’s test – then you will not be able to use your RAE202120XXX roll number for registering for the AEMOCK20212 course. In case you fall in the (b) scenario, and have already registered with the other department’s application number on SAFE, then use the same for registering for AEMOCK20212 also, and you are all set. In case you fall in the (a) scenario only, then register for the mock test with your old roll number (there is no other option for you). Then, write to us at admissions@aero.iitb.ac.in (as some of you done already). In this email, please use ‘SAFE roll number issue for RAE202120XXX’ (replace XXX with your 3 digits) as the subject line , and mention your old roll number in the body of the email. We will manually change your roll number on SAFE, after which you should be able to see the change reflected once you logout of SAFE and log back in.

It is absolutely essential that you use the email id that you specified in your application for logging in to SAFE, as well as for all communications with us. We have already encountered one candidate who did not heed this directive, and hence faced issues.
