The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has announced an online Open House for candidates who have qualified for JEE Advanced 2026. The session, which is scheduled on June 7, is aimed at helping prospective students and their families understand various aspects of life and academics at the institute before making admission decisions through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling process.

According to IIT Bombay, the Open House will be conducted in webinar mode from 10 am to 1 pm.

In a post on social media, IIT Bombay clarified that the Open House is not designed to resolve counselling-related queries. Instead, the focus will remain on answering general questions from students and parents about joining the institute and life on campus.
