2. do we have courses like SAP, Six sigma etc. at IITB for value addition?
3. Can somebody post the link for the Life@IITB thread  |

1. Yes, the bulk discount is there. Once you land up here, one of you will naturally take the initiative of striking a bulk deal. Or else, close to the joining date, you can initiate the deal by communicating among yourselves on orkut/PG.
2. SAP, Six Sigma: NO. These courses aren't there. These are very IT specific and hence not available. For some diverse taste, one can take the electives in the second year (first year is all core courses) across the departments of IITB. The courses of these departments especially:
IEOR (Industrial Engg. & Operations Research) deptt. ,
HSS (Humanities & Social Sciences) deptt. and
KReSIT (Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology) are quite famous among SOM guys.
