Empowering IIT Bombay Students to Build the Future with GitLab

Empowering Innovation: How IIT Bombay Students Code the Future with GitLab

The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), one of Asia’s most prestigious technological institutions, is shaping the future through innovation, collaboration and cutting-edge tools. At the heart of this academic transformation is GitLab, the single DevSecOps platform that helps students and researchers streamline their development work and embrace modern software practices.

With thousands of students involved in high-end research and practical development projects, IIT Bombay relies on GitLab to simplify source management, issue tracking, and CI/CD automation across various disciplines. From aerospace to bioengineering, GitLab facilitates collaborative teamwork through version control, agile workflows, and a unified platform for code, making students better prepared for real-world software development.

By using GitLab throughout academic and co-curricular programmes, students gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools. Campus groups and workshops guide students in using GitLab for contributing to open-source, executing machine learning workflows, and building scalable systems efficiently. These skills not only provide a strong resume but also empower the next generation of developers, engineers and entrepreneurs.

The adoption of GitLab at IIT Bombay is a powerful testament to how an integrated DevSecOps platform encourages teamwork, transparency, and cross-functional development. Whether through research projects, hackathons, student bodies or classroom use, GitLab plays a critical role in nurturing a DevOps culture on campus.
