You’re Not Alone. Let’s Walk Together.
Welcome to the Student Wellness Centre, IIT Bombay
Your mental well-being is not just important—it’s essential. At the Student Wellness Centre (SWC), we believe that no one should have to navigate their journey alone.
Life at IIT Bombay is filled with exciting challenges, remarkable opportunities, and intense academic and personal growth. But we also know that amidst all this, it’s natural to experience moments of stress, isolation, anxiety, or self-doubt. That’s why we’re here—to support you at every step, with empathy, respect, and care.
Whether you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed, academically pressured, homesick, or simply need someone to talk to—this is your safe and welcoming space. The SWC is a confidential, non-judgmental environment where your concerns are heard and respected. No issue is too big or too small.
Our services include one-on-one counseling sessions, group therapy and support circles, stress-relief and mindfulness workshops, psychometric testing, peer support programs, and regular wellness events. All sessions are conducted by qualified mental health professionals who understand student life and its demands.
Reaching out is not a sign of weakness—it’s a powerful act of self-awareness and strength. At SWC, we applaud every student who takes that brave first step toward inner clarity, emotional resilience, and personal growth.
Whether you are looking for immediate help, long-term support, or simply want to learn tools for better emotional management—we are just a click away. Let us help you discover your strengths and empower you to lead a more balanced, fulfilling life at IIT.
Together, let’s build a compassionate, inclusive campus where every student feels seen, heard, and supported—because your well-being is the foundation of your success.
