IIT Bombay on X: build this knot
IIT Bombay, the Indian Institute of Technology campus in Powai, Mumbai, has a large community of students, alumni and researchers on X. Posts range from research news and placement season to the campus festivals, including the Mood Indigo cultural festival.
The knot follows the campus tags and the institute's name, and removes exam-coaching promotions that borrow IIT hashtags. Add the alumni, labs and student clubs you follow as members to keep up with your corner of the campus.

Open in the builder and add members
Who to add as members
Department and lab accounts, student clubs, alumni from your batch, and campus journalists. We don't list anyone by name: pick the people you already read, so the knot reflects your corner of the topic.
Once you add members, the builder makes three more feeds: everything they post, their posts on this topic, and replies sent to them.
Tips for this knot
- "IITB" is also used for unrelated things. Remove it if the feed gets noisy.
- Add your department or club name as a keyword.
- A private list works well for a batch group. Only you see private lists.
Setting up the X List
- Open Lists from your profile menu and create a list called IIT Bombay.
- Keep it public if you want others to follow it, or make it private for your own reading.
- Add members from the list editor or from each profile's menu.
- Pin it so it shows up as a tab on Home.
