Academic Structure:
The Institute offers a large number of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in engineering, science, management,
design and humanities. This includes B. Tech., M. Tech., 4 year B.Sc., M. Sc., M. Phil., M. Des., M. Mgmt., Ph.D. and dual
degree programs like B.Tech. M.Tech., M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Tech.-Ph.D. and M. Phil.- Ph. D. Currently, the Institute has twenty
six Academic Units: this includes fourteen departments, one school, six centres and five interdisciplinary programs. These
Units constitute the academic fabric of the Institute. The teaching programs are characterized by their flexibility and
informality. The strong faculty-student interaction on the residential campus provides opportunity to students to work on
seminars, publication and projects sponsored by the industry and national agencies.
IIT Bombay follows a semester system. An academic year (July-April) consists of two semesters, each of approximately 16
weeks duration. The first semester begins in the last week of July and ends by the last week of November. The second
semester starts in the first week of January and ends by the last week of April. In each of the two semesters of the first
year, a student is required to register for the relevant courses listed in the curriculum for that semester.
Students belonging to the SC/ST category and students who are identified as academically weak at the end of the first
semester may be prescribed a specially worked-out Reduced Load Program (RLP). Such students may be required to
undergo special courses in case they are found to have inadequate background. In addition, to help students with backlogs,
some courses are offered during the summer semester.
The Institute follows a credit system. Credits are allotted to various courses depending upon the number of lectures, tutorials
and laboratory hours per week. The students performance in a course is continuously evaluated throughout the semester and
culminates in the award of a Grade on a 10 point scale. Performance in a semester is evaluated in terms of the weighted
average of grade points secured in all the courses registered in that semester, which is known as Semester Performance
Index (SPI). A Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses
registered by the student since the time of joining the Institute.

Faculty:
The basic responsibilities of the faculty are teaching, research, technology development and industrial interaction. IIT Bombay
is a leading center of scientific and technical teaching. It helps many educational Institutes for technical education in up
gradation of syllabi of courses, laboratories and manpower development. The educational methodology developed at IIT
Bombay is transferred on continuous basis to engineering colleges through organized interactions in the form of CEP courses,
QIP programmes and implementation of the TEQUIP scheme of MHRD.
The faculty members are engaged in technology development programmes for industries by consultancy projects and CEP
courses. IIT Bombay emphasizes both pure and applied research since they often feed into each other.
Education and research are closely dependent on efficient and imaginative management. Participation in the management of
the Institute through participation in academic programmes, administrative committees and outreach programmes for industry
and educational institutes are some of the major responsibilities of the faculty members of IITB.
Selection of faculty is through a statutorily constituted selection committee which includes external members, Head, Dean and
Director. All candidates deliver seminars and they are interviewed by the selection committee for appointment.
In addition to academic excellence, faculty members at IITB are expected to promote a respect for moral values, duties of
citizenship and basic human understanding required for leadership. The strength of the faculty lie in their intellectual and
academic distinction attained. The best contribution of this Institute would be to educate young people to solve the real
problems faced by our countrymen using the technical knowledge they are imparted during their formative years.

Founded in 2009, IIT Mandi is the only IIT located in the Himalayas. IIT Mandis vision is to be leader in science and
technology education, knowledge creation and innovation, in an India marching towards a just, inclusive and sustainable
society.
The Institutes main campus, called Kamand Campus, is located in the picturesque Uhl river valley at Kamand, which is
situated at about 15 kms from the historic town of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. A transit campus of IIT Mandi, called
Mandi Campus, is also maintained in the premises of the Vallabh Degree College in Mandi. Mandi is located at a distance
of around 475 km from Delhi and around 200 km from Chandigarh on Delhi-Manali route.
IIT Mandi is the first among new IITs to develop and use its main campus. The move to the main campus which began in
July-September 2012 has been steadily gaining momentum. In April 2015, the shifting of all the B.Tech students to the
permanent campus in Kamand has been completed and all the major activities of IIT Mandi are now being carried out
from Kamand Campus. The residential campus in the serene landscape by the river Uhl offers a world-class academic
environment with a high quality of life in a setting of natural splendour. Bus transport facilities have been arranged to
facilitate the movement of students and faculty between the main and transit campuses.

Academic Structure:
IIT Mandi follows a semester system with two 16-week semesters per academic year. The first semester starts in early
August and ends by end of November. The second semester runs from February to June.
The Institute offers B.Tech. programs in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Electrical Engineering (EE) and
Mechanical Engineering (ME). The current intake is 40 students in each branch. From 2015 onwards, Institute is going to
start B.Tech in Civil Engineering as well with an initial intake of 25 students. The academic program has been innovatively
developed and is offered by the following four schools: School of Computing and Electrical Engineering, School of
Engineering, School of Basic Sciences and School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The organization of the institute
into these schools rather than into traditional departments is for enabling the evolution of a flexible curriculum with an
emphasis on interdisciplinary capabilities. These four schools also run individual research based postgraduate programs.
From the academic year 2014-15, the Institute has started two new Masters Programs, M.Tech in Energy Materials and
M.Sc in Chemistry.
Currently, besides 453 undergraduate B.Tech. students, IIT Mandi has 137 research scholars, of which 32 are doing MS
degree (by research) and 105 are pursuing PhD in Engineering and Basic Sciences. In the newly introduced M.Sc and
M.Tech programs, there are 13 students registered. In addition, several Post Doctoral Fellows are also working at IIT
Mandi assisting and contributing to the research.
About the B.Tech Curriculum at IIT Mandi
The B.Tech curriculum is designed keeping in mind the need to produce well-rounded graduates many of whom will go on
to join industry in technical or managerial roles, or to join the administrative services as technocrats, while a few may
20-07-2015 22:14
2 of 5
aspire to research careers. Some may even go on to become entrepreneurs. Thus, at IIT Mandi, the students are
exposed to a broad range of knowledge and skills that will enable them to perform well in tomorrows increasingly
complex and inter-dependent world. A B.Tech. student at IIT Mandi will study foundation courses in basic sciences,
engineering sciences and practice, humanities and social sciences. In the chosen discipline, besides studying the core
courses, the student will also study elective courses which will enable them to develop significant knowledge in a
specialized area with exposure to research trends and developments. The category of free/open electives outside the
chosen discipline will enable the student to obtain significant inter-disciplinary knowledge. The student can consult a
Faculty Advisor with regard to the planning of curriculum and other academic issues.
In addition, the curriculum allows specialization in a Minor area, by taking a set of 3-4 courses in another discipline. For
example, a Mechanical engineering student can qualify for a minor in Computer Science or German language.
The degree program allows a student to go on exchange visits of up to two semesters to other universities, both in India
and abroad, for course work and projects and to industry for project works. A number of B. Tech. students have already
availed of these opportunities to study at international institutions. IIT Mandis undergraduate students have visited IIT
Madras and several EU institutions under academic exchange program including Technical University Munich, RWTH
Aachen University, Blekinge Institute of Technology-Sweden and University of Stuttgart.
An important aspect of the curriculum is the integration of innovation and design into the learning process. This is achieved
through a Design Practicum model of learning, which is built into the curriculum. Thus, in the first year of the B.Tech
program, the student carries out a reverse engineering project, where student teams dismantle a common
gadget/equipment, understand how it works and then put it back together in working order!
At the second year level, students learn product design and development skills. Interdisciplinary teams of six students,
randomly selected from different branches propose product ideas and then build working prototypes. Many of these
product ideas are derived from the needs of the society. The products successfully built and demonstrated in the previous
years include a low cost 3-D printer, a versatile hybrid phone charger, a 3D visualizer, a model of an automatic vehicle
parking system and autonomous garbage collection machine for parks and beaches.
At the third year level, the students have the option of working on an Interdisciplinary Socio-Technical Project (ISTP). The
ISTP exposes students to the complex interactions of technology and society. As part of ISTP, the students work in
groups under the mentorship of a faculty member to identify and study the problems related to the society and try to
suggest solutions for the same. Every year, a group of students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), USA visits
IIT Mandi and joins IIT Mandi students in carrying out the ISTP projects.
Finally, during the fourth year, the students have the option of doing a Major Technical Project (MTP) either individually or
in a group. MTP is the capstone of the 4-year B. Tech programme. The project is expected to have a major technical
contribution in the student's discipline and is intended to demonstrate a high degree of technical knowledge,
innovativeness and maturity. The outcome of a B. Tech Project may be an innovative product or technology that
addresses a problem of society, or it may be more theoretical or exploratory resulting in an advance in the frontiers of
knowledge.
Overall, the curriculum at IIT Mandi is designed to encourage and enable the student to become well-qualified and
well-rounded engineers in all respects.
Credit system
IIT Mandi follows the credit system with continuous internal evaluation throughout the semester. Grades for each course
is awarded on a 10 point scale. The overall performance is measured by the weighted grade point averages. A student
has to attain a fixed minimum of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and earned credits to pass the B.Tech degree
program.
During the first year, students get an introduction to all the branches of engineering. As a result, they may decide that
they want to change their branch. Normally, at the end of the 1st year, any student who is in good academic standing,
having done the full complement of courses and having no backlog courses to clear, can apply for a branch change. The
change is allowed provided that the strength of a class does not fall below the sanctioned strength by more than 50%
and does not exceed the sanctioned strength by more than 50%. In case either of these limits is reached, CGPA will be
used as the criterion for allowing the change of branch. There are provisions, in exceptional cases, for change of branch
up to the end of the 2nd year. For more details, please visit the following website.
http://www.iitmandi.ac.in/academics/branch_change.html
Faculty:
Currently, the number of faculty members in IIT Mandi is around 86, a majority of whom are under 40 years of age,
yielding a potent blend of exuberance and experience. A number of distinguished academics and experts with industry
experience are also invited to visit IIT Mandi for short durations to teach specialized courses in cutting edge
technical/scientific areas.
Facilities:
The main campus of IIT Mandi at Kamand has well equipped class rooms and computing facilities. Good teaching

Established as a College of Engineering in 1961, this Ins tute was declared as Ins tu on of Na onal
Importance under the Ins tutes of Technology (Amendment) Act 1963 and was renamed as Indian Ins tute of
Technology Delhi. It was then accorded the status of a university with powers to decide its own academic
policies, to conduct its examina ons, and to award its degrees. IIT Delhi is situated at Hauz Khas in South
Delhi, bounded by Sri Aurobindo Marg on the east, Jawaharlal Nehru University complex on the west,
Na onal Council of Educa onal Research and Training on the south, and the Outer Ring Road on the north.
The Ins tute campus is about 20 km from lndira Gandhi Interna onal Airport, 10 km from domes c terminal
of the airport, 19 km from Delhi main Railway Sta on and 14 km from New Delhi Railway Sta on. The Ins tute
campus extends over an area of 320 acres with many topographical features, imagina vely laid out with
picturesque landscape. With clean and wide roads, the campus presents a spectacle of harmony in
architectural and natural beauty. Most of the students, faculty and sta reside on the campus. The main
academic building houses various teaching and research facili es. Although each department is a separate
en ty, all the departments together cons tute an integrated complex. Each academic year consists of two
semesters and a summer term. The educa on system is organized around a credit system, which ensures
con nuous evalua on of a students performance and provides exibility to choose courses so as to facilitate
progress at an op mum pace suited to ones ability or convenience. Each course is assigned certain number of
credits depending upon the class contact hours. A minimum number of credits are to be completed in order to
qualify for the award of degree. IIT Delhi has revised its curriculum with eect from academic session

FIVE-YEAR INTEGRATED M.Sc. COURSES
5501: APPLIED GEOLOGY
The Earth System is continuously evolving through a series of complex dynamic processes. Understanding and modeling
these processes is a challenging, but also intrinsically exciting task. These complex processes interact with each other
leading to the development of oceans, mountain belts, plateaus, flood plains, deserts and various picturesque landscapes;
more importantly, they also result in local scale enrichment of various metallic, non- metallic, water and fuel resources that
have formed the backbone of the human civilization since its existence. On the flip side, catastrophic events like earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions and landslides represent the sinister manifestations of these processes. Geology and Geophysics, the two
sub-disciplines of Earth Science, have the common goals of understanding the origin of Earth vis-a-vis the solar system, of
quantifying the Earth's evolutionary processes, searching for Earth Resources and predicting and mitigating natural and
anthropogenic disasters and hazards. Geology primarily involves the unravelling of the physics and chemistry of Earth
processes through direct sampling of earth materials like rocks, soils, water and vegetation in the field, and the development
of sophisticated laboratory methods and tools for interpretation of the collected field data. The primary objective of
Geophysics is to probe the inaccessible depths of the Earth for understanding its 'anatomy' on the basis of bulk physical
(electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, gravitational, elastic and visco-elastic) properties and phenomena, such as electrical,
magnetic, electromagnetic and gravitational properties, and propagation of elastic waves through its interior. Inevitably,
Geophysics requires sophisticated instrumentation and rigorous mathematical tools. The Department of Geology and
Geophysics of lIT Kharagpur offers five-year integrated M.Sc. programs in both the disciplines, imparting training on applied
aspects of Earth Science.
Core courses in Applied Geology enable students to develop expertise in the study of minerals, rocks, fossils and ores.
Students are imparted laboratory and field training (a total of 18 weeks of field work) under this program. Apart from
disseminating information, emphasis is given to acquisition of basic tools for quantification of processes. Modern courses on
crust-mantle interaction, mountain building processes, global climate changes, basin analysis, low-temperature
Geochemistry, water-rock interaction, Isotope Geology and mineralogical spectroscopy have been formulated to expose
students to frontier areas of research.
The course of Engineering Geology along with stimulating laboratory components is one of the strengths of the Applied
Geology curricula, which is meant to integrate geological knowledge/information with rock and soil engineering. Rigorous
training on techniques and tools for exploration of earth resources is also imparted through adequate exposure to courses
such as Groundwater Geology, Remote Sensing & GIS, Environmental Geology and Micropaleontology, that have immediate
industrial and environmental importance. The teaching in Applied Geology is supported by excellent computational and
laboratory facilities e.g. X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer, Laser- Raman Probe, Total Organic Carbon Analyzer, Gas
source stable-isotope Mass Spectrometer, Automatic Compression Test Machine, to name a few.
The curricula of M.Sc. in Applied Geology provide the opportunity of becoming specialized in the field of interest by taking
appropriate courses in the fourth and final years. Students get ample opportunity to get acquainted with modern research
methodologies while working for their Masters' dissertation during the last two semesters. Exposure to industry and R & D
activities are provided through summer training.
Students get excellent job opportunity in the Cement, Oil and Natural Gas, Mining and Construction companies, and in
various Research Laboratories. Our graduates also excel in higher studies, with many being well placed in R&D sectors and

IIT Kharagpur offers an excellent opportunity for exceptionally bright students to get admitted to a five year integrated M.Sc.
programme in economics, a unique programme in IIT system. This holistic programme is being offered by the Department of
Humanities and Social Sciences, which has a multidisciplinary character, with the involvement of sister departments like
Mathematics, Industrial Engineering and Management, Computer Science and Engineering, Architecture and Regional
Planning, and Vinod Gupta School of Management. The common programme in the first two semesters would make the
students efficient in developing verbal and quantitative abilities with a scientific approach. Thereafter, students get a
thorough and intense exposure to economic theory, analytical tools, mathematical techniques and applied econometric
models with adequate stress on interpretations of the results along with their socioeconomic implications. Theory classes are
supplemented by lab practices, projects, industrial training and seminars. The course would succeed in establishing a
synergy between technology and economics to understand the real world situation more accurately and intensely.
Through a suitable choice of professional electives, students can specialize in selected streams like environmental
economics, quantitative economics, business economics with provisions for super specialization in certain chosen fields under
the streams. At the same time, ambitious and hard working students can earn a minor in areas like mathematics and
computing, statistics, industrial engineering and management. The new breed of economists specially trained for problem
solving purposes are expected to be in high demand in industry, institutions of higher learning and research, both at home
and abroad, in the increasingly globalized world of tomorrow.
5505: EXPLORATION GEOPHYSICS
Geophysics is a branch of Earth sciences that deals with the delineation of Earths subsurface structure. The primary
objective of Geophysics is to explore the inaccessible depth of the Earth for understanding its anatomy on the basis of bulk
physical properties and phenomenon (density, magnetic susceptibility, elastic, visco-elastic, electrical conductivity, natural
radioactive radiation etc). Propagation of elastic waves through earths interior enable geophysicist to visualize the Earth
from surface to its center. Various geophysical methods are based on various physical principles such as Newtons law of
gravitation, Coulombs law of forces between magnetic poles, Snells law, ohms law and natural disintegration (,,
radiation) of radioactive substances. Geophysicist performs different experiment in the field and delineates different physical
properties associated with oil and gas, minerals, groundwater, subsurface pollution etc. All these require sophisticated
instrumentation, rigorous mathematical techniques and knowledge about modern days computer programming and
applications.
The Department of Geology and Geophysics offers a 5-year integrated M.Sc. Program in Exploration Geophysics. This
program covers fundamental courses on Solid Earth Geophysics, Geophysical field theory and various exploration techniques
with special emphasis on mathematical and computational tools. Gravity, Magnetic, Seismic, Electrical, Electromagnetic,
Well logging, Radiometric methods of exploration are covered in great details. Earthquake Seismology, Seismic Tomography,
Geophysical Signal Processing, Geophysical inversion/optimization are integral part of the program. Students and exploration
geophysics undergo rigorous field training that involves use of various equipments and acquisition of data in the field. Stateof-the-art equipment in Geophysics include 48-channel Reflection, Refraction and Engineering seismograph, Broad Band
Seismograph, Strong Motion Accelarograph, Gravimeter, Magnetometer , Resistivitymeter, VLF, VLF-R and magnetotelluric

Academic Structure:
The institute offers a large number of Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs in engineering, science, design and
Liberal Arts. This includes B.Tech, M.Sc., M.Tech, M.Phil., M.Des., and Ph.D. Currently, IIT Hyderabad has 14
departments.
IIT Hyderabad follows a semester system. An Academic Year (July-May) consists of 2 semesters, each of approximately
16 weeks duration. The first semester begins in the last week of July / first week of August and ends by the last week of
November. The second semester starts in the first week of January and ends by first week of May. A student is required
to register the relevant courses listed in the curriculum for that semester. The Institute may offer summer courses for
backlog students.
IIT Hyderabad offers the B.Tech. undergraduate program for students admitted through JEE (Advanced) 2015. IITH has
implemented a very novel academic program, referred to as, Fractal Academics the key idea is to atomize courses,
provide breadth and depth, emphasize courses in science and liberal arts as well as creative arts, emphasize project
work, and create an interactive learning ambience. A typical 3 lecture course has 3 credits leading to 42 lecture hours in
a semester. Fractional credits can be 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 having 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 lectures hours,
respectively.
The fractal academic program is a novel holistic approach to undergraduate teaching. It has multiple goals among which
fostering undergraduate research, interdisciplinary learning and encouraging creativity are the primary ones. In the first
year of study, students are introduced right away to a wide gamut of courses not only from the engineering spectrum but
also from science and liberal arts. This is aimed at giving the students a flavor of various engineering disciplines in
addition to whetting their appetite for the science, creative and liberal arts. In the second year, an in-depth study of the
core engineering courses is undertaken. This is designed to firm up the students' foundations in fundamental areas of
their chosen branch. In the third year of study, students are encouraged to pick an area of their choice (within their
branch) and take relevant elective courses. By the end of the third year, the students are primed to take on challenging
research projects. The final year of study is project heavy where students are encouraged to work on research
problems. Two common threads run through all four years of study - independent projects and creative/liberal arts
courses. Students are required to pursue independent projects to "learn by doing" as well as to explore engineering
problems that pique their interests. Through the study of liberal and creative arts, it is hoped that students appreciate
non-technical disciplines which in turn should help them become better engineers.
In addition, to students admitted through JEE (Advanced) 2015, IIT Hyderabad offers double major, minor, honors
Dual Degree (B.Tech+M.Tech), and Conversion to Ph.D.
Double Major*: If a student does say 24 extra credits in a given department he/she can get a double major. Essentially,
this is equivalent to double minor in the same department. (*subject to approval)
A Minor is awarded to a student after completion of twelve credits in addition to B.Tech. IITH offers a Minor in
Entrepreneurship to all students. The students performance in a course is continuously, evaluated throughout the
semsters and culminates in the award of a Grade on a 10 point scale.
Similarly, Honors is awarded to a student after completion of twelve credits with prescribed set of courses and projects
in their own academic curriculum
Dual Degree (B.Tech+ M.Tech) program (http://academics.iith.ac.in/files/dual.pdf): The primary motivation for a dual
degree program is to create a win-win proposition for both students and faculty.
B.Tech/B.Tech (Honours) to M.Tech: The duration of the dual degree program is 5 years from the time the student
enters IIT Hyderabad. Both degrees (B.Tech and M.Tech) will be awarded at the end of the fifth year subject to satisfying
necessary credit requirements. All students who convert will be given MHRD stipend after the eighth semester. Option to
convert will be given at the end of the sixth semester (after grades are announced) till the beginning of the eighth
semester (by coursework add/drop deadline).
B.Tech/B.Tech (Honours) to PhD: (http://academics.iith.ac.in/files/dual.pdf): Option to convert will be given only at the end
of the sixth semester (after grades are announced). Students must appear for a technical interview before a panel of at
least three faculty members nominated by the head of the department.

ENGINEERING DESIGN
Five-Year Dual Degree Programme (B.Tech & M.Tech) In Engineering Design
Engineering Design is an exciting dual degree programme recently introduced at IIT Madras. The programme consists of
B.Tech. and M.Tech. degrees in Engineering Design with a post graduate specialization in Automotive Engineering and
Biomedical Design. The choice between these 2 specialization is made at the end of 6th semester.
Engineering Design With M.Tech. In Automotive Engineering
The objective of the programme is to produce engineering graduates well versed in the process of design. This involves
designing products to meet customer requirements, for the required quality standards, taking into account
manufacturability, serviceability, reliability, human factors, efficiency of operation and economics.
The programme represents a shift in emphasis from analysis to skill sets appropriate for design, development and
prototyping and will encompass best design practices followed world-over. Emphasis on creativity, efficient use of
materials, sensitivity to environment and managerial skill development are some of the aspects of the programme. The
curriculum focuses on the aspects of learning to learn and teaching of concepts through case studies especially in
unstructured design situations. The mission of the programme is to make IIT Madras a Global centre of Excellence in
Engineering Design. We are looking at students with exceptional abilities to provide leadership to the Indian industry in the
area of design and manufacture of new products in the increasingly globalised economy.
Engineering Design With M.Tech. In Biomedical Design
The course will be a dual degree programme with a B.Tech in Engineering Design and a M.Tech. in Biomedical Design. A
medical equipment is any instrument, apparatus, or material that is used in diagnosing, treating, and/or preventing
diseases in humans. Medical devices constitute one of the fastest growing industries. German medical devices industry is
one of the largest with an estimated 100,000 employees working in more than 500 companies. Lead by giants in the field
like Siemens, there are twenty or more companies with a turnover of more than 35 million Euros. An analysis of the
costing of medical devices reveals that the highest component is the intellectual content and development costs of the
invention and the actual product cost is very much less by comparison.
The major objective of this course is to develop biomedical designers who have the background to design, manufacture,
test and market such products. The biomedical instrumentation as the course is called in many Indian universities, is
usually tuned towards maintenance of medical instrumentation and is heavily biased towards electrical engineering.
Though such courses are no doubt important, there is a need to develop biomedical designers, who have an
interdisciplinary background in mechanical design, controls, mechatronics and manufacturing science. Apart from this they
should be well versed in human anatomy and physiology, mechanics as applied to physiology and biology (there is a
recent book titled Cardiovascular Solid Mechanics), biosensors, protocol and procedures for animal models, signal
processing and so on. In our opinion, no such course which systematically builds a designer exists.

the needy students such as aid for physically handicapped, accident or sudden illness related expenses that are not
otherwise met by the regular medical insurance, and loan to individual students to meet expenses related to travel and
other expenses when they have to go on a study abroad schemes,
Students Distress Fund Supported by Alumni
IITM Alumni have created a corpus to provide help to deserving students who have been identified to be under financial
distress due to any reason such as loss of bread-winner in the family. Such requests are considered by the Dean (IAR)
and approve the required financial support every semester.
Educational Loan by Campus Nationalized Bank
Along with the letter of admission, a certified statement of total educational expenses (including boarding & lodging) is
sent for all students. This will help the student to avail bank loan from any of the banks in their place of residence. All
students offered admission to IIT Madras are provided along with the admission letter, a welcome kit by a SBI offering (i)
Zero balance SB account; (ii) Online Transaction Facility; (iii) Debit card; (iv) Pre-approved bank loan which will cover
entire 4/5 years expenses.
Alumni Funded Interest Free Loan (SSAN ANANYA IITM Educational Trust)
An alumnus, Mr. Sunderam Swaminathan, has created SSAN ANANYA IITM EDUCATIONAL TRUST to provide
financial assistance in the form of interest free loan to B.Tech/Dual Degree students at IIT Madras for the purpose of
covering tuition fees and living expenses. He has committed to support 5 students from the first academic year 2014-15 at
Rs. 1.2 lakhs each, and add 5 students every year for the next 3-4 years. His vision is to see this scheme supports at
least 100 students within 12-18 years and start growing exponentially further. He intends to achieve this by having
beneficiaries pay back into the programme directly within about 5 years after they start earning. The candidates should
realize that this Trust is started purely with a vision to make the Trust large enough to ensure no candidate is deprived of
education in IITM due to financial reasons. This means that its success solely depends on these candidates giving back
the amount within, say, 5 years (this will be about Rs. 10,000 / month which is very reasonable) once they start earning.
No interest will be applicable. They can even contribute more, if they wish.
Medical Insurance Coverage for all students
All students are coverd under a medical Insurance scheme exclusively designed for students. Annual premium is paid by
the student. All minor ailments are attended to by the Institute hospital.
Travel Support by Alumni
The IITM alumni funded IITMAANA Travel Grant programme is designed to assist IITM students, faculty and staff to visit
USA and other countries abroad and present their papers at internationally recognized technical conferences. Participation
in summits, workshops, competitions and internship and semester exchange programmes may also be funded through this
Programme. The main objectives are to help IITM students, faculty and staff participate in International events in the U.S.
and other countries, promote the IIT Madras brand at these venues, promote Research and Development in Technical
Education by providing an opportunity to deserving students to interact with peers and experts at International level and
support personal and professional development among IITians by facilitating participation in foreign internships,
workshops, competitions, and summits. For more details log in to http://alumni.iitm.ac.in/
PRIZES & RECOGNITION
No competent and deserving candidate goes unrecognized at IIT Madras! They win prizes for achievements ranging from
commendable academic performance to those excelling in extra-curricular an co-curricular activities. The highest honour is
the Presidents Gold Medal followed by the Governors Medal. All round meritorious performances by students earn them
the prestigious Institute Blues award.
The Placement Office is involved in securing placements for students graduating from the institute. The office maintains a
close liaison with various industrial establishments (both private and public sectors), which conduct campus interviews and
select UG and PG students from all disciplines. The Placement Cell provides the infrastructural facilities to conduct group
discussions, placement tests and interviews. The Office interacts with over 800 industries in the country, of which nearly
300 companies visit the campus for holding campus interviews. To give students an exposure to the application of
technology in the industry and hands-on work experience, the institute mandates that students do an internship in an Indian
Industrial core Company for a minimum duration of six weeks, over the summer following third year. This internship is
included in the curriculum and carries credits.
To name a few well-known companies, we had McKinsey, Google, Microsoft, GE, Schlumberger, ITC, Price Water
Coopers, Airbus, Honda and Shell Technology for campus placements last year.
The students of IITM join various kinds of industries viz. 1. Core Engineering, 2. Software/IT, 3. Manufacturing, 4.
Consultancy, 5. Finance and 6. R & D laboratories
Since the recruitment scenario is constantly changing across the globe, multiple dimensions of skills have to be introduced
to the students to make up employable man power. It thus becomes imperative that the students be guided about their
20-07-2015 22:21

career choices not only in their final year but all though their study at IITM starting right from their first year. A new early
career development programme is being setup for this purpose handled by trained professionals with able guidance from
the faculty and alumni of the institute.
IITM is actively involved with national and international organizations through its Centre for Industrial Consultancy and
Sponsored Research (IC&SR). Set up in 1973, the IC&SR plays a vital role in bringing together industry professionals and
the faculty of the institute for gaining insight and solving challenging problems. These joint efforts result in significant
contributions to technology design and development, improved efficiencies in industrial performance and increasing impact
on national development. Students are actively involved in all these efforts.

IITM is a vibrant campus with lots of opportunities for students to get involved in co-curricular and extra curricular
activities. With the establishment of Centre for Innovation (CFI) which is growing at a rapid pace and the availability of
space in the Students Activities Center (SAC), tere are as many as 25 different co-curricular and cultural clubs with about
2000 students registered with them. This demonstrates the students involvement in such activities. These pave way for
the students to develop their talents, passion and skills and also to showcase their abilities. Many explore new
dimensions of their interests to discover their passion.
Many competitions and festivals are held. The prominent ones are the technical festival named Shaastra and the cultural
festival named Saarang. There are many smaller scale versions of fests conducted by the clubs on campus. Apart from
these, some departments also conduct special fests at different times in the year. Some of the prominent ones are CEA
Fest, Exebit, Biofest, Amalgam, Forays, Wavez, Mechanica, Samanvay, and Chemclave.
Descriptions of some of these activities and facilities are provided below:
Centre for Innovation (CFI)
Envisioned to promote student invention and innovation, with a focus on technology environment, this student lab at
IIT-Madras was set up with funds donated by the Alumni batch of 1981. It is located in the building that houses the Central
Workshop, in the middle of the academic zone. It hopes to make a positive impact to the environment and society with its
contribution.This lab serves as an intellectual environment to provide facilities to the students to work on hands-on
engineering activities. This lab supplements the engineering learnt in class with another important part of engineering,
innovation and creativity.
Since its inception, CFI has played a major role in fostering student interest in technical activities, through the various
projects that it has funded and supported. A few of them even being patented, owing to the social and economic impacts
of the project. CFI has also been associated with several major, long-term projects and competitions such as Robocon
and Formula-SAE. The Spirit of Engineering projects, displayed at Shaastra (Annual Technical Festival) are major
highlights such as, the Yu- Fly VTOL Craft, Robo-fish, the paper suspension bridge (the worlds longest paper bridge 11m
in length), the automatic page flipper, have all been SOEs in the past. CFI fosters and channels students interest through
its various clubs such as the Ibot club, Auto club, Aero club, 3-D Animation club, Computer Vision group, the HAM Radio
club and the Electronics club. In summary, CFI is a place where a student can walk in with an idea and walk out with a
product.
Lit Soc activities
Lit Soc is a yearlong inter-hostel battle royale. All the hostels go head to head over the course of the academic year and
battle it out with each other trying to win different competitions in an effort to get the necessary points to take the Lit Soc
cup home at the end of the year and be crowned champions. The various events have different points and special points
are awarded to enthusiastic and talented treshers! Freshie events will also be held towards the beginning of the odd
semester to initiate them into Lit Soc and give them a feel of how intense and enjoyable Lit Soc events can be. It is a
matter of great pride for a hostel to win Lit Soc and as a resident of your hostel; it will be up to you to help your hostel win
it.
Tech Soc activities
Very simply put, Tech-Soc was born as a tournament where hostels could compete against each other in all tech-related
events for points, power and fame. Tech-Soc was started in 2005 and has since then grown steadily adding events to its
repertoire every year. Together with Schroeter and Lit-Soc, it forms the three independent Big trophies that hostels
competes for every year. However this year, we have something special in store. Tech-Soc is being re-envisioned as
forum with a much wider reach than just inter-hostel events. It has now become the umbrella under which all tech-related
student initiatives will be encouraged and nurtured. In the odd semester, various informal sessions like Fundae sessions,
Tech interaction sessions will also be organized so that the first year students can learn about the tech world they are
about to step into. Apart from these, there are various clubs related to the technical activities which one can join. For the
tech-savvy we always have something or the other going on. You get to dirty your hands and build stuff on your own or
participate in tech quizzes or watch the spectacle as the different hostels battle it out in tech-soc.
C-TIDES
20-07-2015 22:21
16 of 22
The Cell for Technology Innovation, Development and Entrepreneurship Support (C-TIDES) acts as a platform that
bridges the gap between established entrepreneurs and aspiring students of IIT Madras. In order to foster and encourage
this spirit of entrepreneurs, C-TIDES, the entrepreneurship cell of IIT Madras, was established in 1998. The cell provides
budding entrepreneurs with a platform to support them, thereby realizing their ideas and converting them to reality. Events
and workshops are conducted all-round the year emphasizing at least one of the many aspects of entrepreneurship. So if
you are a person who is constantly dreaming and striving to get the best out of things around, looking for places where
you can make a difference, you are similar to a class of people opting for their own ventures in their careers and
becoming entrepreneurs.
C-TIDES is something in between being a Student Club and an institute body. Though primarily a student-managed cell, it
is mentored by professors, renowned entrepreneurs, and alumni. C-TIDES also organizes Breakthrough, a technical
Business Plan competition and Genesis, which is one of the largest Social Entrepreneurial competitions in the whole world.
Techno Entrepreneurial Social Initiatives
IIT-Madras is well known for the diversity in the range of activities that its students and the administration take up. The
Institute aims, not only at the academic development of its students, but also their overall development. IITM is actively

prior knowledge of the subject. Theory sessions are organized, where interesting observations in astronomy and
astrophysics are discussed. There are members having astrophotography equipment. Even a rookie can learn _a lot
from these sessions. Members of this clubs watch out for planets, open clusters, globular clusters,and galaxies.
Data Analytics Club
The newly-formed Analytics Club at the student-run Centre for Innovation, or CFI, through projects and workshops, helps
students acquire the skills required to extract meaning from data, which can be put to use doing live projects with
real-world data in partnership with companies in the field of analytics.
Linux Users Group
Also known as LUG, it is a club which provides support and education for Linux users (particularly inexperienced users).
It also helps in promoting the use of open source software. Those with an interest in developing stuff need not worry.
There are a few very good developers in the group. Lectures and workshops are conducted regularly for the members.
Design Club

inspire you to become active and creative. You can meet other designers, present and share ideas, ask questions, talk
about the latest design news, ask for critiques of your work and much more. Being active in a design community is also
another great way to promote your own work and get your name out there. Above all it is also a learning platform for all
the budding Graphic Designers. Anybody can become a collaborator of the Design Club by contributing designs and ideas
by means of Blog posts, Facebook posts etc.
Music Club:
If you are a Music lover, then this is the ideal place. This is a club specially formed for promoting Indian traditional music
in the institute. It strives to make students realize and appreciate Indian traditional (Carnatic) music. For the past 30
years, it has been responsible for bringing famous musicians to the institute. It is actively engaging the music enthusiasts
with concerts almost every month. A series called ClassFest is also organized during which leading performers play. The
budding musicians need not worry as Young talent is also encouraged and there are opportunities for them to showcase
their skills.
Institute Adventure Club
Adventure is not outside man. It is within.It is with the sole purpose of exploring this adventurous side of students that
three adventure freaks started the club in 2011. The activities of the Club include trekking and cycling. Treks to Nagala,
Tada, Talakona, Yercaud are organized by our organizers on a fortnightly basis. Cycling to Mahabalipuram, Kovalam
beach, Elliots beach are organized on a monthly basis. Started in February last year, the club has already made 3 trips 2 Trekking trips to the famous Nagala hills and 1 cycling trip to Kovalam. The club has also nurtured sister clubs in other
colleges like NIFT, thus helping in socializing with other college students for greater exposure to the outside world. IAC
gives you a great platform to interact with like-minded people who love adventure. Also, IAC seeks to help you out with
ways and means to explore the unexplored and dare the daring! It is only in adventure that some people succeed in
knowing themselves .
Quiz Club
Quizzing has always been a popular pastime on IITM campus. Consisting of a bunch of people united by a common
passion, the IITM Quiz Club conducts several quizzes throughout the academic year. Quizzes are conducted on a wide
spectrum of topics, ranging from sports and entertainment to science and technology. The quizzes at Saarang and
Shaastra (as well as LitSoc and TechSoc) are also organized by QC members. Whether youve quizzed before or are new
to quizzing, this is a great way to meet people and have a lot of fun!
Word Games Club
Interested in quirky word origins, bamboozling anagrams and cryptic crosswords? If you love scrabbling, solving word
puzzles and other teaser word games; if any friend of the English language is a friend of yours; if you never met a
homophone that you didnt like; if the polymorphous intricacies of language enthrall you then this is your Mecca. Our
20-07-2015 22:21
17 of 22
primary activities are Scrabble, Cryptic Crosswords and WTGW (Whats the Good Word?) with a lot of other random
word puzzles and the like. We meet every fortnight or so for WGC activities. We organize an insti Scrabble tourney, a
national Scrabble tourney and a Crossie Open in addition to various activities for both Saarang and LitSoc.
IVIL
A completely student-run initiative, IIT for Villages (IViL) has been a life-changing experience for many. Whether it is
helping women self-help groups or working towards rural sensitivity amongst urban students, IViLians have no boundaries
restricting the scope of their work. With members across all batches and courses, the only prerequisite to joining the
group is a desire and willingness to get down to the ground and understand grass root level reality. Whether it is the
Integrated Knowledge Centre that IViL helped set up or cottage industries that it helps promote, IViL helps you make a
difference in the lives of those around us, and grow in the process. Being an IViLian is known to help in more ways than
one seeing the India most IITians dont, sharing life-changing experiences and having stories to tell, learning to be
proactive and always spreading the joy!
Prakriti
This is a group of environmentally conscious people, which mainly works towards making young students aware of
environmental issues on our campus, our country and on planet earth. It also strives to preserve and improve the ecology
of the IIT campus. The forum also strives to create awareness among the campus residents in preserving the
endangered species that inhabit our campus.
Oratory Club
The perfect place for all the literature enthusiasts-this is the longest running literary club in the institute. As a completely
student-managed club, it has helped a lot of students overcome their public speaking inhibitions and improve skills. Its
informal nature has attracted all kinds of students. It creates an ideal platform wherein all the people can participate and
learn a lot from each other. This club organizes JAM sessions, extempore, and a host of other activities. Spending time
with this club guarantees to make you anorator and probably a good one at that!
Colloquium
The Colloquium is an informal student discussion forum that conducts open discussions on various current affairs and
topics of social relevance. The forum seeks active engagement from its participants and promotes debate and
exchange of ideas through weekly discussions. The forum maintains an active online presence in the form of a facebook
page which serves as a hub for sharing interesting thoughts and articles, initiating and scheduling discussions.
The Harvard US-India Initiative
The Harvard US India Initiative or the UII, as it is called, is a new addition to the numerous student clubs that exist on
campus.The UII seeks to foster interactions and long term cooperation between youth from the United States and India
and to leverage these relationships to address socially relevant issues. The UII, has in its short span of existence,
achieved significant results and we hope that the IIT Madras chapter will follow the trend.
The Fifth Estate
The Fourth Estate is defined in a dictionary as the press, including journalists, newspaper writers, and photographers. As
IIT Madras official magazine, we are all this and more. The Fourth Estate that we represent comprises a bunch of
mild-mannered doe-like sweet-souled beings who wouldnt dream of hurting a fly, unless of course the fly started it. Similar
treatment would be meted out if the fly in question decided to interfere with our tireless striving towards bringing you the
best of Instis literary talents. The Fifth Estate, the online segment of The Fourth Estate, brings to you the latest on
campus buzz and a forum to voice your opinions on campus.
Chennai36
Once at IITM, always at IITM! We never forget our alumni and constantly have them interviewed by correspondents on
this blog. Alumni talk about their lives after their wonderful and enriching campus life and how they have strived to keep up
the name of their alma mater. The Alumni Association has also started the I Love Insti video series that captures every
aspect of our beautiful campus life and culture.
Reflections
Per ception.Intr ospection.R etr ospection... Reflection. The transformation every human goes through - and to keep the
spirit alive, up and fighting, Reflections was born. Reflections works towards bringing out various unexplored horizons
that lie within and lead to better living. We are a team of people who, in our own way, are trying to help keep the spirits up
and alive. Reflections conducts programmes to encourage discussions on issues pertaining to everyday life which have a
far deeper impact than normally perceived. It brings out the Reflections magazine, which contains articles from alumni,
professors and students. Many writers from outside the campus have been actively contributing every year. It provides a
platform for expression to everyone. Talks, diverse topics, by speakers ranging from the fields of engineering to science to
psychology are conducted, which encourage thinking and help in understanding things which we normally neglect in our
day to day lives. Panel discussions are held to question, share, contradict and explain, and movies screened to touch,
teach and inspire.
EMLs (Extra Mural Lectures)
As children, we admire; as adolescents, we aspire; as adults we perspire; and as responsible, successful citizens, we
inspire. It is this inspiration that one gets in these lectures. One cannot achieve big without listening to people who have
done it before. It is as they say; we shall not live long enough to learn from our own mistakes. We shall have to learn from
others too. The Extra Mural Lectures in IITM, cover diverse topics, and bring _in people from across the globe; those
people, who have been pioneers and who have received the highest honours in their fields. Where else do you get to
interact with people so knowledgeable, so experienced and so successful? The faces that are closest youve been to
through a television screen are brought before you to talk. These lectures unfold tales of unfathomable perspiration and
unmatched genius. It is said that we cannot discover new continents with the fear of losing sight of the shore. We provide
you with the tales of these conquests and much more...
The Open Forum
It is an ambitious plan to get students closer to professors and the topics of research undertaken by them. It is often
characteristic of research that progress happens in steps and not in continuity. Be it the professors or their doctoral
20-07-2015 22:21

students, many a times theyre stuck at a stage which ranges from a conceptual hurdle to a tough mathematical equation
to solve. Our proposal shall have these students/professors put these problems they face on an open forum such that it
could be tackled by _any student at IITM.

CULTURAL AND TECHNICAL FESTIVALS
Shaastra
Shaastra is the annual technical festival of IIT Madras. True to its name, Shaastra (signifying science) is a celebration of
science and technology; a confluence of minds and a melting pot of diverse disciplines. It provides a chance to unleash the
engineer and scientist within us, providing glimpses of the elegance and scope of evolving technology.
Shaastra has so far seen 15 editions, having started in its current avatar in the year 2000. It is scheduled to be held over
four days and four nights during the first week of January. Shaastra is a veritable engineers paradise where fervent
enthusiasts congregate, compete, learn and enjoy. Intense competitions, spectacular demonstrations, world- class
lectures and a variety of informative workshops are just the tip of the iceberg. Shaastra attracts an immense number of
participants from diverse technical, scientific and managerial backgrounds ranging from college students to graduates,
from academicians to professionals, from design engineers to managers. The fest holds the distinction of being the first
student managed event in the world to implement a Quality Management System and earn ISO 9001:2008 certification by
TUV. This has been done to ensure that the standards of the festival are maintained at the highest level and assure our
sponsors a consistent degree of exposure at Shaastra.
This is the platform to showcase our knowledge and enthusiasm. Shaastra is our way of celebrating our love for the
spirit of engineering. And in the process we plan to give the visitors a show they will never forget. Shaastra has always
been a phenomenal learning experience for the organizers and the participants alike. So at the end of the day we go back
feeling much wiser and happier. Of course If you are not a hard-core techie, dont worry weve got you covered too. Just
walk in for a pleasant surprise. Shaastra nights are the icing on the cake. Laser shows, fireworks displays and so much
more each year, proving that you dont always need the know how to appreciate what science can do.This is just a
glimpse of the sort of stuff we have in Shaastra every year. How much more you uncover is entirely up to you. So

IIT Madras has seen a glorious 56 year journey, punctuated by many milestones one of which was the advent of Mardi
Gras, a pioneer student cultural extravaganza. Mardi Gras has the distinction of having hosted Uriah Heep, in one of their
rare world tours, Buddhas Babies and even A R Rehman as a college student. Almost forty years later, the legacy lives
on, albeit in a new avatar as Saarang
Saarang has always made heads turn. It is one of the largest cultural festivals in India attracting over 50,000 people
from around the country. Held in the month of January every year, Saarang is commonly acknowledged as the mother
of all cultural festivals, a reputation that we at IITM are honour-bound to uphold!
This five-day festival is the traditional meeting place for the young and those young at heart. Saarang is characterized by
days jam-packed with enough events and competitions to make your head and your heart do cartwheels. Be it the theatre
arts, musical displays such as Decibels or the laugh out loud wackiness of extempore and Just-A-Minute, Saarang always
has the crowds screaming for more.
The mainstay at Saarang has always been the 4 Professional Shows, with past editions having seen performances by
prominent classical artists such as Balamurli Krishna, Ustad Bismillah Khan, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia; international
acts such as Opeth and Skidrow; as well as light music shows by Shaan, S.P. Balsubramanian, Shankar Ehsan Loy,
Karthik, KK, Benny Dayal, Lucky Ali, Udit Narayan and Sonu Nigam.
Be it the Acoustics, Sound Systems, Stage or Seating Capacity, Saarang promises a memorable experience for
everyone. A large fraction of the student community works around the clock for months to ensure a better Saarang each
time around. Cherishing the support of a bevy of sponsors throughout previous years, Saarang has always managed to
strike a chord with the people who flock to see it all happen.
On the events front, we cater to all genres. We have quizzes on all topics. We also have other exciting events like WTGW,
Picto and Tinto blend into Pot Pourrie along with DumbCs, painting and modelling apart from theatre, speaking events,
creative writing, music and so on. So just turn up, let loose and figure out what floats your boat because this truly is the
place to be!
SPORTS ACTIVITIES AND FACILITIES
Sports
Sports at IIT Madras generates a lot of enthusiasm, not only from within the campus, but from other colleges in the city
and the country as well. The academic calendar is packed with sporting events, intra-hostel and inter-hostel events, intercollegiate and inter-IIT tournaments. All hostels actively compete to win the coveted Schroeter Cup which is the InterHostel sports championship.
The institute has excellent sporting facilities in the campus which include:
IIT-Chemplast Cricket field.
Athletics stadium
Four synthetic floored Tennis & wood-floored badminton courts
Three flood-lit synthetic floored basketball and three volleyball courts
20-07-2015 22:21
19 of 22
A Swimming pool of Olympic standards

Hockey & Football fields with flood-lights.
A well-equipped Gymnasium
Two newly constructed world class Squash courts
All this, combined with the untiring commitment and enthusiasm of the student community, with encouragement and
guidance from the faculty has created tremendous opportunities for students to hone their talents. It is no wonder then
that tournaments in IITM have continued to draw teams and colleges from all over the country.
Blessed with a sprawling and spacious campus, IITM has the facilities to cater to the most active sportsmen and
sportswomen.
Intra-Hostel and Inter-Hostel Competition
During the course of the year, all the hostels compete for the Schroeter (pronounced as shroy-eter ... read more
about it on the IITM sports website) a trophy for the best hostel in sports. So fierce is the competition, that you might
just be reminded of an India-Pakistan Cricket match! You have got to witness it to believe it. In September, every
year, the institute hosts Sportsfest, an intercollegiate meet for local colleges, in Tennis, Volleyball, Basketball, Hockey,
Football, Table Tennis, Badminton and Aquatics. Other specific sports events are also hosted such as SanmaK
tournament for cricket where theinsti-cricket team plays with different clubsand GF&KR (Gerhard Fisher and Kokila
Rajaiah) All-India Basketball tournament for men and women.
The even semester (Jan May semester) arrives and you have a feast of informal events starting from 6-a-side hockey,
3-a-side-baski, 6-a-side footer (football), 9-a-side cricket, 3-a-side volley and so on. All this and more await you a
seemingly endless list of events-all played at Sangam (look up campus map to locate it!) under floodlights. The
Gymkhana Day marks the culmination of all the sports activities for the academic year. Sign of true celebrations is sure to
erupt from the Schoeter-winning hostel.
One sec Where does it all begin?? Where do you start off if you are like a no vice in sports? Well, the answer wont lie
far away once you are in the hostel. In addition to a playing area within its quadrangle where Cricket, Football, Hockey,
etc. are played, every hostel has facilities for TT, carrom, chess, volley ball and baski. There is nothing to be bashful
about being a beginner. Every year, there are a few people in every sport team, who had started playing only after they
came to the institute, and learnt to play well enough to represent the institute in INTER-IIT, one of the highest honours in
sports that an IITian sportsperson can hold. Everyone has to make a beginning somewhere. Use the available resources
to the fullest!!
Inter-IIT Sports
Held annually by rotation among the IITs, the Inter-IIT meets aim at promoting the interaction between students of the
various IITs and encouraging sportsmanship. The meet is held in December after the end of the odd semester. IIT Madras
had hosted the event a couple of years ago in conjunction with its Golden Jubilee celebrations. A General Championship
(GC) is awarded to the team with the best performance in the Inter-IIT Sports meet and the Inter-IIT Aquatics meet (held
in October). In these games, a fierce competition coupled with a great spirit of sportsmanship mark these as the most
memorable moments of any IIT student life. It is during this week-long event, that IITians get perhaps their only
opportunity to meet and interact with students from other IITs. IIT Madras has excelled continually at these games,
winning the general championship (GC) eleven times in a row in the past. IIT Madras has a great history in Inter-IIT with
over 19 wins in the 47 meets, thanks to an excellent performance of IITM students.
IIT Madras campus is located on the Sardar Patel Road, about 12 kms from Chennai Central Railway Station. The
notable landmarks around our campus are the Guindy Snake Park adjacent to the IIT main gate, Gandhi Mandapam
(Anna University stop), Madhya Kailash temple and the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) campus directly
opposite to our campus.

IIT Gandhinagar strives to offer the best undergraduate engineering education in India with unmatched innovations in
curriculum. A five week immersion Foundation Programme for all new undergraduate students is designed to nurture
creativity, communication skills, ethics, teamwork, social engagement and physical fitness. To promote critical thinking
and an appreciation of the interdisciplinary character of knowledge, students take almost 20% of their coursework in the
humanities and social sciences nearly twice the proportion of other leading engineering colleges in the country as
well as courses in design and the life sciences. We empower our students to discover and pursue their passion with the
most liberal branch change policy among all IITs, an emphasis on project based learning and options for minors. The IIT
Gandhinagar undergraduate experience stresses diversity and globalization. Fully one third of the undergraduate
students from the last three batches availed educational or internship opportunities abroad.
Campus
_IIT Gandhinagar (IITGN) is moving to its permanent campus on the banks of the Sabarmati river near the twin cities of
Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar over the next few months. Ahmedabad consistently ranks as one of the best cities to live
in India in several major national surveys, and has excellent infrastructure, thriving industries, prestigious academic and
research institutes, including the Indian Institute of Management, the National Institute of Design, Physical Research
Laboratory, etc. It not only has a vibrancy and ambiance that fosters excellence and entrepreneurship, it also has deep
cultural roots and played a central role in Indias independence movement.
_
The first phase of constructions on the permanent campus includes well-furnished hostels, classrooms, library,
laboratories, auditoriums, social and interactive spaces, playgrounds, faculty and staff housing, a few shops and other
basic infrastructure. With over 3 kilometers of river front, a combination of ravine landscape and flat areas of land, a rich
biodiversity, earthquake-resistant confined-masonry construction, the IITGN campus has numerous unique aspects to
boast about. The campus has been designed to bring out the vibrant, energetic, interdisciplinary and interactive
character that marks its academic programs.
Other important information about the Institute

Innovations at IITGN:
IITGN aspires to be a leader and a trend-setter in education. In this endeavour, it enthusiastically encourages novel
educational initiatives consistent with the core values, mission and vision of the Institute. Some of our recent initiatives
are outlined below.
Foundation Programme for Self Development: IITGN recently introduced a Foundation Programme that requires all
new undergraduate students to undergo an intense five-week immersion programme to develop their life-skills. The
programme helps students make a smooth transition from the days of single-minded preparation for the JEE to a new
phase in life that will ultimately shape them as well-rounded human beings, outstanding engineers and responsible
citizens. This programme focuses on nurturing creativity, communication skills, ethics, teamwork, and includes various
games and workshops on theatre, an appreciation of architecture, arts, etc.
International Faculty: The Institute has recruited its full time faculty from some of the worlds leading institutes, such as
CalTech, Carnegie Mellon, Purdue, Cambridge, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, Berkeley, Cornell, Illinois, Max Planck,
Harvard, Warwick. A vigorous visiting faculty program and a flexible short course structure exposes students to scores
of the most prominent scholars and professionals from all over India, as well as the United States, France, Portugal,
Switzerland, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, etc.
Comprehensive Viva-Voce: The Institute has introduced a comprehensive viva-voce to identify the talents and
weaknesses of students. The students are encouraged to pursue their talents vigorously and to address areas of
concern. This is a mandatory activity conducted every semester for all undergraduate students by a panel of faculty and
20-07-2015 22:24
2 of 5
enables the Institute to establish one-on-one connections by giving attention and feedback to each individual, and assess
our teaching-learning ambience.
Emphasis on Physical Education: With firm belief in the truism that a healthy mind lives in a healthy body, the Institute
has introduced a demanding physical education regimen into its curriculum. All undergraduate students must engage in
formal sports activity at least five days a week during the first two semesters at the Institute. This programme has been
exceedingly effective in rekindling a passion for sports and outdoor activities among students and is reflected in
IITGNsperformances at IITGN Sports Meets.
Short-Courses: IITGN has started a Short-Course Series for the well-rounded growth of its students. Each shortcourse
runs for 8-10 hours and is conducted by a guest scholar on a topic different from the subjects in the regular curriculum.
Students earn one credit (listed in the grade card) for each short course, which is voluntary. Recent short courses have
been conducted on Indian Democracy, Entrepreneurship, Energy Efficiency, Literature, and Cosmology.
Project-Based Learning: The Institute places great emphasis on students undertaking projects of interest to them
outside the curriculum. Students have been involved in exciting projects in Fire Engineering, Low-cost Mechanical
Gadgets, Biomedical Engineering and the like, under the mentorship of faculty from the institute, as well as scholars and
corporations attop institutions worldwide.
Earn-While-You-Learn Programme: Undergraduate students help in the library, computer centre, and in grading
assignmentsunder an optional earn-while-you-learn programme that provides financial help, instills the value of the dignity
of labour, and builds the self-esteem of participating students.
Peer Assisted Learning: This programme is to help those first year B.Tech students who face difficulties in adapting to
new culture and medium of instruction in their coursework. It is built on the philosophy of engaging students in learning
outside the classroom by seeking help from peer educators. The students engage with their seniors in active
conversations on topics related to their curriculum. It has been also extended to second year students who may still
need help.
Deans List: The institute recognizes students performance in academics through a Deans list each semester as a
confidence building exercise and also as a tool for encouragement of students to realize their true academic potential.
Nearly 25% of the undergraduate students are expected to receive this appreciation every semester.
Awards to Students for Research Publications: The institute places significant emphasis on undergraduate research
and considers participation in research activities critical for the holistic growth of students. Undergraduate researchers
who publish in peer-reviewed journals are eligible for cash awards. All undergraduates receive financial assistance to
attend conferences and for research-related travel.
Industry Visits: Each student is encouraged to go for industry visit at least two times in each semester, which provides
real life exposure to professional world. The Institute has connected with several industry partners to facilitate that. It
also provides financial support for these visits.
IIT Gandhinagar Explorers Fellowship: IIT Gandhinagar Explorers Fellowship engages students to undertake travel
to explore different places and come to know things in new ways. This fellowship is intended to introduce students to
cultures, people, and areas of India with which they are not familiar. Under this, fellows make powerful connections and
find opportunities to foster dialogue with people from different walks of life. The fellowship amount is upto Rs.50,000/-.

The letter grade E may be considered as sufficient exposure to satisfy the prerequisites of another course,
where applicable.
Grade I is a place holder grade and gets converted to an appropriate grade before the commencement of the
next semester.
To provide an environment where students are free to develop their passions, IITGN has adopted the most liberal
policy for branch changes at any IIT after the first year. Virtually all students are given an opportunity to switch to a
discipline of their choice in the second year. We also have created a formal structure to convey the excitement,
promise, and relevance of each branch of engineering to our students. This is probably the first time in the history of
the IIT system that such a policy has been successfully implemented.
After successful completion of the first two semesters, students may apply for branch change under the following
guidelines:
1. 1. Any student with a CPI 9.50 or higher is allowed a change of programme without any restriction.
2.
2. For others, change is permitted in order of merit determined by their CPI. Students with a CPI of 6.50 or
higher and without any fail grade/backlogs are eligible to apply.
3.
3. The request for change (in the order of merit) for a student (say S1) from programme A to programme B will
be considered so long as:
(a) Strength of programme B does not exceed by more than 10% of the sanctioned strength for that programme.
(b) Strength of students on the rolls in programme A does not fall below 50% of its sanctioned strength.
(c) The request of S1 will be re-considered (again in order of merit) if another student transfers to branch A,
provided this re-consideration does not violate (b) above.
4.
4. All such transfers can be effected only once at the beginning of the second academic year. Applications for
change of Programme during subsequent academic years are not entertained.
Students are major stakeholders of educational institutions. The growth of the Institute is therefore heavily dependent on
their academic, social and emotional wellbeing. IIT Gandhinagar is committed to the welfare of the students and ensures
that they have opportunities to grow academically, develop leadership skills and understand core values of life. Along
with rigorous academic training, students are encouraged to pursue curricular and extracurricular activities. IITGN is
liberal in its outlook, informal in its interactions and uncompromising on its values. We are not averse to failures but we
refuse to be let down by them. IIT Gandhinagar supports students to pursue their dreams and aspirations. The students
are encouraged to have convictions and opinions; take decisions and be responsible for it. IITGN ensures that all
students have opportunities for a holistic development.

The Career Development Service (CDS) provides a platform to students to enhance and groom their professional skills
and demeanor. Through various workshops and events with eminent external speakers, the CDS exposes students to a
wide range of career opportunities and assists them in making informed decisions about their careers. The mission of
CDS is to be a catalyst in the development of students to become leaders in a technologically based global ambience.
The Ahmedabad/Gandhinagar area has been listed as the 19th most rapidly growing city in the world. Ahmedabad is
also ranked as one of Indias safest cities. It boasts uninterrupted water and electricity supply throughout the year.
Several supermarkets, vegetable stores, and neighbourhood shops are located in the vicinity of the Institute. The area
around IITGN campus is undergoing major urban expansion with the construction of many high-rise condominiums,
apartment complexes and malls.
The campus is easily accessible from both the railway station and airport in Ahmedabad. A taxi ride from the airport to
the campus costs about Rs 350. Auto rickshaws are the most common form of transportation; a typical fare from
Ahmedabad Railway Station to campus by auto rickshaw is about Rs. 120. The city is also well connected by BRTS, a
bus rapid transit system that circles major spots throughout the city.
Ahmedabad airport has numerous domestic and direct international flight connections to Doha, Dubai, Bangkok,
Singapore and Newark, which serve as global hubs for other international destinations. It is very well connected by rail
and road networks to other cities in India. The World Bank recently recognized the highways in and around Ahmedabad
as model road transportation infrastructure for emulation by other cities. The construction of a metro subway rail link
between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar is presently underway.
There are several banks within a half-kilometer radius of the Institute. The IIT Gandhinagar branch of State Bank of India
is located across the street from the campus. The post office is also close to the Institute.

Departmental Core Courses (DCC)
The Departmental core consists of courses considered essential for a chosen engineering/science discipline, including
laboratory courses, practical training and projects.
Institute Elective Courses (IEC)
The Institute Electives are the courses offered by different academic Departments/Centre to the students. These courses
are divided into two basic categories viz. Humanities, Social Sciences and Management Elective Course (HSSMEC) and
Open Elective Course (OEC). The students are free to select two courses from the HSSMEC category and one course from
the OEC category, depending upon their interests and inclination. However, each student will have to take courses from
Basic Sciences, Engineering Sciences and Humanities and Social Sciences.
Departmental Elective Courses (DEC)
The students are required to complete a number of Departmental elective courses offered by his/her parent
department/centre. These courses need to be picked from a group of courses identified by the department/centre so as to
excel in a specialisation within a discipline.
Each course of the above programmes has a number of credits assigned to it, depending upon the academic load and
weekly hours of lectures, tutorials, practical and self study. Normally, one credit is assigned to each lecture of one hour or
each tutorial of one hour or practical of two hours.
Educational tour, group discussions, development of technical communication skills and practical training form an essential
part of the curricular structure.
Co-Curricular Activities
The students are also encouraged to participate in a variety of co-curricular and sports activities with a view to develop their
overall personality and groom a student to be an engineer-manager-scientist. These activities are also given weightage in
calculating the overall academic grade of a student.

students immediately after their registration at the Institute. Foreign Students will be offered Hindi in place of N.C.C..
Rangering will be offered to girl students. Two credits have been assigned to these activities. These activities will run in both
semesters but will be evaluated at the end of First Year.
(c) Proficiencies
Co-Curricular Activities under Proficiency, as listed below, will be offered as a 2-credit course to the students of B.Tech.,
B.Arch., IDD, IMS and IMT Programmes from first year to final year. These activities will run in both the semesters but will
be evaluated and tabulated in spring semester only. The students are required to select only one proficiency from the list in
2nd year which will remain the same up to the final year. The grades from the Proficiency opted for by the students will be
awarded at the end of the Final Year. Proficiency, once opted, cannot be changed during the year of the study. In case a
particular activity is opted by a large number of students and some students cannot be accommodated, the Sports
Association in consultation with Academic Section will reallocate proficiency to such students.

over 4 academic years. A student takes 4 to 5 theory courses in addition to laboratory courses in each semester. A project
in the final year provides the student ample scope for independent work. Credits are allotted to various courses depending
on the number of lecture/tutorial/laboratory hours per week. A students performance in a course is continuously evaluated
throughout the semester and culminates in the award of a grade on a 10-point scale. Performance in a semester is
evaluated in terms of the weighted average of grade points secured in all the courses registered in that semester, known as
the Semester Performance Index (SPI). A Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is given, representing the weighted average
of grade points secured by a student in all the semesters.
The Institute has one of the most liberal branch change schemes among all IITs. Students are allowed to change from one branch of
study to any other branch after the end of the second semester, subject to certain conditions, some of which are given below:
1. Any student who has completed all the courses of the first two semesters without failing in any, is eligible for branch change. There
is no CPI restriction.
2.
Change of branch is permitted strictly on the basis of merit (CPI at the end of first two semesters) subject to the limitation that
the strength of a branch does not fall below the existing strength by more than ten percent and does not go above the sanctioned strength
by more than ten percent.
