Welcome to IIT Guwahati. Here you will find all the essential information you need to know. Cheers. :)

1. Introduction
Escape from the blaring horns, smoke-spouting trucks and noisy
vehicles into the lap of nature. Wake up to the joyous chirping of birds
and the silken touch of warm sunlight on your cheek only to see the
glint of fresh dew on the blades of grass. Walk around in lush green
lawns and get surrounded by the swaying trees, the gushing winds
and the gurgling waters. Lose yourself in the glowing sunset and fall
asleep to the silent cradling of the magical moon. Sounds like the start
of a holiday brochure? Well then, the next four years of your life are
not going to be one big holiday but a once in a lifetime experience.
Welcome to the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati,
where natural majesty and architectural brilliance combine in perfect
harmony to make it an enriching, enthralling and enchanting
experience. We, the student family of IIT Guwahati, congratulate you
on clearing the world’s most challenging entrance exam and becoming
a member of the burgeoning IITG community. The youngest and most
dynamic member of the symbols of technological progress in the
country, the group of seven IITs, IITG is a sprawling 700 acre retreat
spread over the banks of the majestic Brahmaputra. Amidst hills and
lakes is nested a hub of tremendous academic potential, of which you
are now a part. A perfect place to learn and work, to play and relax, to
live and grow to your full potential and to herald the future today. We
warmly welcome you with our arms outstretched, to a place where
you can fulfill your dreams and fly without wings.

4. Message from the Director
Welcome to IIT Guwahati! This is the most beautiful and scenic
academic campus in the country. You will realise how lucky you are
to have been allotted IITG after you come to campus. Parents of
some of you may be having apprehensions of sending their “child”
to a place “so far away”. Please tell them they have nothing to worry
about. After all 13 batches of B.Techs have already graduated from
IITG, and there will about 3900 students from all over the country
on campus when you come here. The 270 or so faculty are also from
different parts of the country. July may be wet and hot and sticky, but
it is pleasant most of the year. You are going to join an IIT and you
have to work hard to do well here. Many students take it easy in the Director
first year and then their parents are horrified to find that their loved
one has failed in some courses! Do not let that happen to you. You Dr. Gautam Barua
must attend every class and work regularly. We expect the highest Dept. of Computer Science and Engg.
standards of honesty, integrity and sincerity from our students. Please IIT Guwahati
do not let your mind stray with thoughts of branch change, getting
into an IIM or making millions after graduating. Thinking about these
things will adversely affect your studies and so your grades and
failures will follow. If you do well in your studies, all your dreams will
be fulfilled. You will have nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, you
will get advice on how to “succeed”, how to fatten your biodata, how
to plan your summers, etc. Please do not follow such advice. The IIT
way is to blaze your own trails. The IIT way is to think independently
and to have an open mind. You are just getting into college. You have
4

5. no idea of what the different branches of study are about. How can
you then be sure that this or that is the best way forward? Learn,
explore, and then decide what is best for you. Studies are not all
you can do at IITG. This pamphlet highlights the many facilities and
opportunities that await you to make the best use of. Please keep
away from bad habits. Addiction to Net surfing is a major potential
problem. We shut down internet access in hostels during class times
and from 2 am to 5 am. Do not get into company that is into drugs
or alcohol. These can spoil your entire life. Freedom is heady. But
freedom can hurt, especially to those who are getting out of home for
the first time. Treasure and use your freedom carefully.
All the best!

6. Message from the Dean, Academic Affairs
Dear students, Congratulations for being successful in JEE 2011, and
thereby becoming a part of the much acknowledged IIT system. By
doing so, you have aroused attention of not only your friends and
relatives but also the world at large. Much future of this increasingly
technocratic world will rest upon what you think and do in ten to
twenty years from now. You are a set of rare students, expected to
perform exceptionally on each and every count. You are not meant for
conditioning by circumstances. You are to be the creators of favorable
circumstances – excellent ideal achievers to be emulated by all.
So, when I address you, you need to know the level at which I already
placed you. For intelligent and capable people like you, everything Dean of Academic Affairs
should be simple – including the IIT system. Everything is available
in the Institute’s Internet as well as Intranet sites. I do not need Dr. Sukumar Nandi
to educate you on those, rather I expect you to add a few more Dept. of Computer Science and Engg.
enlightened provisions to the same in due course. IIT Guwahati
If you think experiences do count in certain ways, I would
simply tell you to have great spirits and visions for a better future for
us all, razor-sharp focusing of attention on whatever you decide to do,
zero room for excuses, super order mental and physical disciplines,
and above all uncompromising honesty in your dealings with others.
I know that you are excellent people and shall always remain as such.
Thanking you.

7. Message from the Dean, Student Affairs
You are one among those from whom our country expects a lot.
Your activities, your behaviour, your honesty.....all will soon become
a bench mark in the sense that many students would like to follow
those. Thus, you need to realise your responsibility and we ensure
that, we would provide you with everything that a brilliant student
needs for delivering her/his best.
Someone asked me -what a brilliant student needs to excel in
his life? This indeed is a difficult question to answer. My answer was-
A stress free environment that enable fresh mind to come up with
innovative ideas; an efficient guidance in a friendly manner to make Dean of Student Affairs
one understand the best path that she or he should follow; a homely
environment that makes one feel at home while studying. I may be Dr. Arup Kumar Sarma
wrong, but the answer came to my mind promptly, as all these are Dept. of Civil Engineering
there in IIT Guwahati. IIT Guwahati

8. Message from the Chairman, JEE
Dear Students, We, on behalf of entire JEE-2011 team, are very much

the candidates’ details and their responses. This process made the JEE
transparent and enabled to see how much the candidates have scored Chairman, JEE
in every question and how both the papers have been evaluated.
Dr. P. Alagarsamy
IIT Guwahati, the sixth member of IIT fraternity, was Dept. of Physics
established in 1994, but grown itself into a vast institute of learning IIT Guwahati

9. which will eventually lead to a rewarding career.
It is most important now for you to realise that you are entering into
the pool of excellent and very competitive environment. Hence, I
urge you to maintain excellence as the keystone of your institute
experience. Also, I would like to quote that “If A is a success in life,
then A equals X plus Y plus Z, where Work is X; Y is play; and Z is your
confidence”. Hence, you make yourself comfortable at IIT Guwahati
and produce hard work on studies and sports with good confidence.
With the above information, I once again congratulate you and wish
you all the best for your bright future.

Students’ Gymkhana

11. Message from the Vice President, Gymkhana
Dear Friends, It takes me immense pleasure in welcoming you all to
IIT Guwahati on behalf of the Students’ Gymkhana. One goes through
a phase of relentless effort and assiduousness to secure a rank in JEE.
I heartily congratulate one and all for clearing one of the toughest
exams in the continent and obtaining admission to IIT Guwahati.
IIT Guwahati has made its mark by producing world-class
scientists and technocrats. The excellent faculty and the state of the
art infrastructure provides you a perfect platform for an exciting and
interesting experience. For those who are feeling anxious leaving your
homes for the first time I would like assure that IIT Guwahati is no less Vice President
than your homes and the campus life that you get out here is surely
going to be once-in-a-lifetime experience. Academics must top your Students’ Gymkhana Council
priority list but academics itself does not make you a typical IIT’ian Krishna Bordeori
who excels in all spheres of life. The Students’ Gymkhana plays a vital Dept. of Mechanical Engg.
role in your life by enabling overall development of your personality. IIT Guwahati
Gymkhana provides you a wide scope ranging from technical activities
to sports activities, from which you can choose those that interest and
suit you the most. We have planned a Freshers’ Week comprising of
various events to help you familiarize with the institute environment
which will be followed by Gymkhana orientation to get you in the
groove. So pack your bags, bid adieu to your loved ones and get set
for the roller coaster ride!! I am looking forward to meet you all in the
campus and wish you all the very best. ‘Be Vigilant’ Cheers!!

12. Students Welfare Board
The Students’ Welfare Board broadly addresses the overall well being
of the students of the institute. Its scope of activities includes among
various welfare activities such as faculty-student interactions, senior-
junior interactions, organizing yoga and meditation camps, serving
the society through NSS, group discussions, coffee house sessions,
counselling services to students and a lot of other activities which are
aimed at keeping the mind, body and soul of the IITians sound.
Well, what we have for you? Here at IITG, the Students’
Welfare Board is committed to ensure that you have no issues
adapting to the new home you are about to live in. We welcome you
all with Freshers’ Week where we will have events aiming at helping
you in adapting to your new home.
Another major question which you all might be having
is about Ragging, well friends, we assure you all that there is no
such thing in the campus and you are about to enter a friendly
environment and home away from home. Do contact us at any time
regarding any problem that you might be facing during your stay in the
campus.
12

13. No Ragging
Does the mention of the word ragging give you goose-bumps and
make you break into a sweat? Well, don’t worry. Ragging, in IIT
Guwahati, is strictly forbidden. As your seniors writing this guide, we
assure you that ragging is something that we’ve never experienced,
and the student community of IIT Guwahati is unanimous in taking
a stance against ragging. You may be feeling a little bit overwhelmed
at the prospect of living in a hostel without your parents, but, rest
assured, you, just like we did, will meet cheerful and helpful seniors at
your hostel’s help desk the day you and your parents arrive.They’ll
give a few words of advice to you and your parents, the most
important of which will be that ragging is, and has always been, a
complete no-no in the institute. We once again emphasize the fact
that the institute does not take ragging of any form lightly. Denigrators
have been very strongly reprimanded in the past and will be in the
future as well. In case, you face any problem despite these stringent
measures, you are welcome to approach the student Vice President,
General Secretary – Welfare, your faculty advisor or your warden
at any time for advice or assistance. In particular, the Student’s
Gymkhana is here to not just encourage you to broaden your scope
of knowledge, but to help you if you meet with any problems during
your stay.

16. Cultural Board
Always thought that IIT will be all about studies and grades? Well,
think again. Here you will find everything ranging from dance, music,
and drama, to movies, debates and quizzes. You have worked hard
enough to get into IIT. Now its time to ease out a bit get yourself
involved with several activities to develop your personality and
hone your skills. IITG has its own Cultural Board which organizes
and promotes all extracurricular cultural activities. It has currently
nine clubs, namely; Anchoring, Choreography, Fine Arts, Literary,
Performing Arts, Photography, Music and the Movie Club, meeting
a wide range of interests of the students of the institute. IITG also
has its own radio station where we are the RJs, and hopefully, in
the future, so shall you. We even have regular cultural nights where
students from all hostels gather together and enjoy the evening with
live dances and performances from some of the institute’s many
bands.
Alcheringa
In North-East India, IIT Guwahati organizes a cultural festival which
goes by the name ‘Alcheringa’ (also referred to as ‘Alcher’) and it
by far exceeds a majority of college festivals in terms of variety of
competitions, star-acts on Pronites, budget and everything else. So to
say, it undoubtedly dwarfs all other college festivals and stands out in
16

17. its own league. It’s now been 15 years since Alcheringa was conceived,
and it has grown from being a modest festival to a full scale cultural
bash attracting participation from over 150 colleges and boasting
of a footfall in excess of 30,000. In the recent years Alcheringa has
featured some exhilarating performances from some of the biggest
names in the entertainment industry, namely Sonu Niigaam, Shaan,
Strings, KK, Euphoria, RDB, Motherjane and the likes. Though the
recently concluded edition of Alcheringa ’10, aptly called, ‘Alcheringa
Xtreme’ & Alcheringa ’11 ,‘Lights, Camera, Action’, set new standards
for any college level fest. The biggest attraction of Alcher Xtreme
was the swiss folk-metal band ‘Eluveitie’. This was very first time that
Eluveitie performed in India. Another mega pronite that was a part of
Alcher was the ‘Crescendo’, the night that the multiple award winning
trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, KK performed live in front of a capacity
crowd in excess of 15k. And the list just goes on...the only Indian
stand-up comedian on the international scene, Vir Das, performed
here with his comic rock-band Alien Chutney, Italian Musician Giuliano
Modarelli ,Advaita ,gave a sizzling performance in Saaz, the classical
night. MTV stunt mania came to the campus and performed some
insane bike stunts in front of an awestricken audience. Xtreme sports
such as Paintball, which people usually refer to as the live version
of counter strike, was ongoing along with wall climbing, Zorbing,
etc.. Besides all these proshows, the various competitions witnessed
capacity participation. Rock-o-phonix, the rock band competition,
17

18. was an exhibition of exceptional class and energy and was very well
received by the crowds, and it was undoubtedly one of the best rock-
band exhibitions ever seen.
The bottom-line is, there are so many colleges and so many college
festivals, and then there is something out of their league, something
in a league of its own, there is Alcheringa.
“Alcheringa 2012: Urban Odyssey.”
Wait as you are taken to the urban meanders in this dreamy journey
of all the rebellion and all the compliance of the hip-hop grooves,
the graffiti tags, the busy lives and the leisure past-times. Alcheringa
2012 promises to work you through some sky scraping excitement and
absolute street fun!
Come to this land, and witness our culture. Come to Alcheringa and
witness Fun. Come, to IIT Guwahati and witness Life!
Manthan
Your extra-curricular abilities will come to the fore during IIT
Guwahati’s signature inter-hostel cultural competition, as eight
bastions of pride prepare to battle it out for the Manthan trophy.
Manthan brings out of you abilities you may never have realized you
have as you and your mates show everyone else why your hostel
trounces all others.Held during the month of October, Manthan also
18

19. gives you an excellent chance to bond with the seniors from your
hostel, and find new friends in your batch. Winning something of this
scale is not something a small group of people can ever accomplish,
and entire army of dancers, writers, singers, instrumentalists, painters,
and prop-makers will be required to oust the competition. Night-outs,
team work, time management and delivering a winning performance,
that’s just the kind of stuff the spirit of Manthan embodies.
PAF
The Performing Arts Festival is yet another platform to showcase your
skills and help your hostel prove its mettle. It includes competitions
like dance, drama and music challenges. PAF is proof enough of the
fact that hostel spirit will make you want to toil day and night, just for
that one moment of glory. You’ll see wind chimes, sugar jars and tin
cans adding to the beat, along with the usual guitars, violins,
synthesizers and drums. Your feet will tap to the funky dance
numbers, you’ll tootle, you’ll scream, and you may very well see your
hostel win!

You are here for an overall development of your personality, so to
keep you healthy and fit, we have all the facilities for sports, both
indoor and outdoor. All outdoor sports like athletics, swimming,
cricket, football, hockey, basketball, volleyball, etc. and indoor sports
like table tennis, weight lifting, chess, carrom, squash, etc. are actively

namely, Cricket Club, Football Club, Basketball Club, Volleyball Club,
Tennis Club, Indoor Games Club, Athletics and Gymnastics Club,
Trekking and Mountaineering Club, Table Tennis Club, Aquatics Club,
Badminton Club.
Inter IIT Sports Meet
Inter IIT Sports Meet is a contest that explores healthy avenues to
release the youth’s capacities, develop their physical abilities, build
self-confidence, willpower and goal setting competencies and instill in
the young minds a vision that will enable them to achieve their goals.
Held every winter at one of the IITs, the Meet affords the opportunity
to the sportspersons from the IITs to showcase their talents.
22

23. An Inter-IIT aquatic meet is held separately as a part of the
main meet each year preceeding the main Inter-IIT Sports meet. The
team excelling in both the meets is further awarded the General
Championship. The probables for the meet are selected in September
and are then subjected to regular coaching almost every evening in
the odd semester by excellent coaches.
A sports camp is organized at the end of the semester two
weeks before Inter-IIT. It’s not easy to get into the Inter-IIT contingent.
But dedication, hard work and passion can make everything possible.
So if you want to represent your Institute at the highest level then
dare and soar!
Spardha
Spardha, the inter hostel sports competition, provides platform for
all sportsmen, experienced and amateurs, in the campus. With the
pride of your hostel at stake, this time in the sporting arena, Spardha
will let you push the boundaries of what you can do for your hostel.
It stretches throughout the even semester, and sees by far the largest
participation from the students at IIT Guwahati. From aquatics to
soccer, you can follow any sport that you love.
23

24. The SAC grounds are open till 9 P.M. at night and you can
issue sports equipment from the security guard at the SAC desk by
bringing your I-Card. The use of the swimming pool requires you to
register permanently and get a separate pool card. Don’t worry if you
are a big zero in sports and never knew where to begin. There is a
full-time dedicated team of professional coaches for various sporting
activities. Physical fitness and metal alertness is a mantra for success
in life. So, each one of you do make it a point to take some time out
from your busy schedules for sports and extra-curricular activities.
Spirit
Spirit is the annual sporting festival of IIT Guwahati. Held in the last
week of October, it witnesses participation from across the North East.
Some of the sporting talent on show is truly spectacular, with teams
from our college pitted against professional sportsmen of real caliber.
Spirit also serves the purpose of providing our probables for the Inter
IIT an opportunity to iron out the flaws in their game, and gain some
valuable match practice. Spirit is a spectacle not to be missed if you
are a sports enthusiast.

32. Hostel Affairs Board
The Hostels Affairs board acts as the central coordinating authority for
all hostels. its main function is to coordinate and execute all activities
related to hostels through the hostel management committees of
respective hostels.Presently our campus has 7 hostels namely; barak,
dihing, kapili , kameng, manas, subansiri and siang.one more hostel is
in the process of construction.
All are self sufficient units having regular amenities viz. a
single occupancy based comfortable room ,attached balcony(in older
ones), a common T.V. Hall, an Indoor Sports Room , a Meeting Room,
24 Hr canteen Service, Juice center, central Grounds, etc.
The state-of-affairs in the hostel are superintended by the
warden, with assistance of the Associate warden and the Care-taker.
The student body, the Hostel Management committee (HMC),
comprising of elected students is responsible for organizing activities
and interactive sessions round the semester. It also looks after the
major issues and problems concerning the hostel. Once you are in the
hostels they will brief you about their plans and you are always
welcome to approach them in case of any problem. You need not have
doubts with regards to the food and hygiene, as the HMC superbly
manages these issues.
32

33. Hostels
Afraid to leave home sweet home? Confused about hostel life? IITG
promises you a new home, in the campus, which is spread over 700
acres on the banks of the river Brahmaputra, with fascinating, scenic
views. We have nine full fledged hostels, including one girls’ hostel
and one new boys’ hostel which is coming up. The hostels are named
after the tributiaries of the river Bramhaputra; Kapili, Dihing, Manas,
Kameng, Umiam, Siang and Barak are the boys‘ hostels, while
Subhansiri is the girls’ hostel. You are bound to enjoy the enchanting
sunrise, if you rise early, and of course a beautiful view of the sunset
from your room. Each room is fully furnished.
Each hostel has a multipurpose common room, a TV room
where the environment gets really hot during Indo-Pak matches and
the English Premier League, a T.T. room, carom and a gym (in some
cases), a volley ball court or a badminton court, depending on the
hostel you find yourself in, along with a multi-purpose playground. In
addition, there is also the Reading room where you will find the latest
magazines and a plethora of newspapers. Each room in every hostel is
connected to the institute LAN (Local Area Network). Internet facility
is provided in individual rooms.
Each hostel has its own library from where you can borrow
33

34. books and other reading materials. Every hostel has a PCO and a PA
system. Have zero worries about your daily diet. IITG boasts of one of
the best mess facilities among the Indian Institutes, where complete
care of hygiene and cleanliness is taken. One has a choice of variety
of dishes ranging from South Indian to North Indian, Eastern and
Chinese. You surely won’t miss food of your liking as the menu is
managed by students committee. The mess charges are nominal and
include breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. Each hostel also has a
canteen, which usually operates till three o’ clock in the morning.
There is also a juice bar in each hostel, which provides fruit
chaats, milkshakes and of course, juices all made from fresh fruits.
Each hostel has a team of a warden, an assistant warden (both faculty
members) and a caretaker. They, with the help of the office staff,
handle all the administrative work concerning the hostel. The Hostel
Council consists of the Warden and a number of Secretaries, who are
elected student representatives. Finally, you will realize that a hostel is
much more than that. It’s your own place and you rule it. No tension
of professors and classes. A cool and tension free environment that is
an essential ingredient in an IITian’s life.

37. General Championship
Manthan, Kriti, PAF, Alfaaz, and Spardha are events pertaining to very
specific sphere of interests, but the General Championship ties them
together into one big package, a trophy for the hostel which does the
best in an entire gamut of competitions, all throughout the year. The
points your hostel collects in each of the individual championships
contribute towards winning the coveted General Championship. Also,
smaller events, like a music challenge and an extempore competition,
are held all throughout the year to keep the competitive spirit alive.
So, to all of you who’ll be coming in this year, the battle for excellence
is always on. It will not take you much time before the much talked
of ‘hostel spirit’ will be imbibed in you. In no time at all you’ll start
cheering for your hostel and jeering at all the others, making sure it’s
your turf that glimmering trophy lands on.
37

38. Student Organisations
The Students’ Gymkhana is a powerful and apolitical students’
association headed by the Vice President (elected amongst the
students). In all matters concerning students of IITG, right from the
welcoming of new students, till the end of your final year, you will
always find the Gymkhana associated with your campus life. Whether
it’s the organization of students’ festivals or placements, the
gymkhana actively performs its duties very professionally, throughout.
Gradually, you will find that the gymkhana has become a part and
parcel of your life.
The basic structure of students’ gymkhana consists of five
general secretaries, one for each portfolio: cultural council, sports
council, hostel affairs, technical council and students’ welfare headed
by the Vice President. In the hierarchy general secretaries are followed
by individual secretaries of the clubs and committees. Most of the
student activities are organized by cultural and sports council of the
students’ gymkhana. Clubs like Photography,Fine Arts, Environmental,
Performing Arts organize various activities round the calendar.
Numerous adventure trips such as rafting and mountaineering, which
is well supported by the terrain here, will give you an unforgettable
experience.
Apart from this, workshops and expert sessions are also
a part of the activities of these clubs to provide an expertise in the
38

39. various fields. Organizing different kinds of sports competitions,
practice sessions and professional coaching in games like cricket,
football, hockey, basketball, volleyball, lawn tennis and many more, is
a part of sports council of students’ gymkhana.
Student community organises cult-nites with band
performances by the IITG band, DJ nites during Dusherra, Diwali, Holi
and all other festivals. The above mentioned clubs and cultural groups
organize get-togethers quite frequently where you can meet many
staff members and students to have informal chats. There are various
departmental associations working for the same mission and with the
same vision. All such associations, with cooperation from faculty
members and the departments are heading towards a common goal
of providing their departmental students with more and more
opportunity to grow in terms of knowledge and all other aspects.
CSEA of Computer Science and Engineering, Cepstrum of Electronics
and Communication Engineering, MESA of Mechanical Engineering,
Genesis of Biotechnology, ACME of Chemical Engineering and ACE of
Civil Engineering are such organizations which regularly organize guest
lectures, workshops, seminars, competitions, etc. on diverse topics
related to their department. Look forward to kindle even your most
vague interests on campus, for there’s abundant scope to develop
anything you name in this place.
39

40. Facilities
The campus is meticulously planned with various facilities to make
your life convenient.
The Computer Centre of IIT Guwahati is the epicenter of all
computing facilities for students, faculty members and staff. The
centre has all flavors of Unix, Linux and Windows. The servers in the
centre are from HP, Sun, Silicon Graphics, IBM and Intel. The students
can connect to the servers either from the PCs available in the Centre/
Departments or from their hostel rooms. The Computer Centre has
more than 250 PCs with LCD monitors.
The Central Library, one of the important central facilities of
the institute, currently has about one lakh volumes, including text
books, reference books, conference proceedings, back volumes, tapes,
video tapes and slides and subscribes to many current periodicals.
All the operations of the Library are automated with the help of
an integrated library software package. A database for the entire
collection created is available to the users via the campus network.
The Central Library, being a member of INDEST Consortium, under the
aegis of the MHRD, provides online access to some important science
& engineering abstracting database services. Since the institute is also
a member of the IEEE, all the articles, journals and other engineering
related information you can ever need of can be accessed at the
website: www.ieeexplore.ieee.org, which provides more than 1
40

41. million documents online.
Medical facilities are provided to the staff and students of the
Institute by the institute dispensary. The Institute currently has three
medical officers (M.D). Patients are also referred to the Guwahati
Medical College Hospital (GMCH) wher modern facilities for treatment
are available. Apart from GMCH, the institute has also approved
several private nursing homes including the Guwahati Neurological
Research Centre.
There are branches of SBI and Canara Bank in the campus
with ATM facilities. The campus houses a full-fledged shopping
complex to fulfill all your daily needs. The Shopping centre has shops
like a saloon, confectionary items, stationary, laundry, multi cuisine
restaurant, computer and accessories, Amul products etc.
Many PCO’s and Xerox centres are available. The campus also
has a Post Office.Planned in the institute zone are some eating joints
which will soon become your favorite haunts when you wish to take a
break from studies.
A beautiful Guest house warmly welcomes your parents
and guardians for a memorable stay at IITG. Guest house tariffs are
reasonable. Bookings can be made by either email or placing your
41

42. request in person. Though the campus is about 24 kms from city it
is well connected to city by an efficent bus service. Buses run every
hour. But there is an alternative way and of course a faster and more
adventurous one, a ferry ride across Bramaputra. If you are lucky you
might see the rare River Dolphins on your way!!!
The institute has undergone rapid changes on all fronts. New
buildings have come up in many parts of the campus. We have a world
class Auditorium, featuring a state of the art surround sound system
and four lecture theatres, apart from a Community Hall for Cultural
Events and performances.
Security System
The institute has well equipped 24*7 security system with security
system at each hostel, entry gates and all-important blocks. There are
around 200-security personal guarding the whole campus. There is a
separate night patrolling group, which patrols around the campus and
guarding the whole campus. Apart from the institute security group
there is an Army base camp(D/67 Battalion C.R.P.F.) inside the campus
adding the security vigil in and around the campus. The campus is all
safe for trespassing any hour of night through out the campus.

43. Academics
43

44. Academics
Piles of books....long assignment sheets... bundles of question papers!
These are some of the familiar images commonly associated with the
word “Academics”. But before you decide to turn over this page, let us
assure you that there is a lot more to it than that.
Contrary to the popular belief, studies at IIT do not merely
mean mugging up of lecture notes a writing them in exam notes
but involve application of mind, understanding of concepts and
generating new ideas. All those traits that saw you sailing through
JEE will stand by you here as well. Regular classes, tutorials and
labs with assignments from time to time will help you to the up to
date with your work at all times. Professors are highly qualified and
always willing to answer your queries. Besides, you will also enjoy the
privileges of interaction with visiting faculties from different parts of
the World, who are leading professionals in their respective fields.
IITG hosts a beautiful constructed Academic complex that provides a
perfect ambience for learning. The labs are furnished with the most
modern equipments. Residing in the campus gives you the added
benefit to access to the labs, library and a plethora of other facilities
outside the stipulated hours. Lecture halls and galleries are equipped
with LCD and overhead projectors. And of course, a central library
with a wide range of books, latest periodicals and journals caters to
the needs and interest of the students. Besides, the computer centre
with internet facilities remains open from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 A.M. is
44

45. a favourite destination for many. Moreover, learning goes beyond
the confines of classrooms and labs. Living along with people having
similar interests will give you a chance to learn from one another
through discussions, interactions and group projects.
IIT Guwahati offers B.Tech in 10 disciplines, M.Tech in 6
disciplines, B.Des, M.A in Humanities & Social sciences, M. Sc in 3
disciplines apart from research opportunities in the form of a number
of PhD programmes. Down the years, graduates from the IIT Guwahati
have left a distinct mark wherever there have been activities.
Academics would play a very crucial role in moulding you into the
individual that you become by the time you’re ready to leave. Don’t
neglect it!
Grading
The grading is on a 10-point scale. All courses are given certain credits.
The number of credits is twice the number of hours of class you will
attend for that course per week. At the end of the semester you will
receive the grades in the respective courses based on your
performance. Each grade has certain points like 10,9,8,7,6,5,4 for AA,
AB, BB, BC, CC, CD, DD respectively. The credits are multiplied
by the points and the sum divided by the total number of credits you
45

46. have registered for and you get your SPI, obtained in subsequent
semesters would amount to cumulative SPI (CPI). If this sounds jargon,
just wait till your first grade card arrives and after that there will be no
further secrets.
Branch Change
There is a provision for branch change. This is done after first year and
depends on CPI after two semesters. Excerpts from the B Tech/B Des
rules and regulations (Clauses 6.1 – 6.9) change of branch are noted
below.
1. Only those students will be considered eligible for
change of branch/programme after the second semester, who have
completed all the common credits required in the first two semesters
of their studies in their first attempt, without having had to pass any
course requirement in the summer term examination.
2. Students may enlist their choices of branch/programme,
in order of preference, to which they wish to change over. It will not
be permissible to alter the choices after the application has been
submitted.
46

47. 3. Change of branch/programme shall be made strictly in
order of merit of the applicants. For this purpose the CPI obtained at
the end of the second semester shall be considered. In case of a tie,
the JEE rank of the applicants will be considered.
4. The applicants may be allowed a change in branch/
programme, strictly in order of inter se merit, subject to the limitation
that the strength of a branch should not fall below the existing
strength by more than ten percent and should not go above the
sanctioned strength by more than ten percent.
5. All changes of branch/programme made in accordance
with the above rules will be effective from the third semester of the
applicants concerned. No change of branch/programme shall be
permitted after this.
Minor Programme
1. Students may opt for a Minor in a discipline other than
the discipline he/she is registered in. Students completing a minor will
have the minor mentioned in the degree certificate and in the final
grade card.
47

48. 2. The credit requirements for a minor discipline will be in
the range of 30 - 36 credits. The minor courses will spread over the
third to seventh semesters of a BTech/BDes programme with one
course per semester.
3. Only those students who have completed all the credits
required in the first two semesters of their studies with a CPI of 6.5 or
above, will be eligible for a minor discipline after the end of second
semester.
4. The number of seats in each minor discipline will be as per
decision of the Senate of IIT Guwahati. However, a minor discipline
will not be available if the number of applicants in that discipline is
less than five.
5. Selection to minor disciplines shall be made strictly in
order of merit of the applicants.
6. Joining the minor disciplines carried out in accordance
with the above rules will be effective from the third semester of the
applicants concerned. No change of minor discipline shall be permit-
ted after this.
7. A student with only minor courses remaining as backlogs
at the beginning of a semester (other than a Summer semester) will
be deemed to have completed the B. Tech. programme and he/she
will be awarded a B.Tech./B.Des. degree without a minor.

Miscellaneous

50. Necessities
Packing Your Bags
Going away from home for the first time and confused about what
exactly you might need? Well stop scratching your heads and take a
look at our checklist (trust us, it really comes in handy).
1. First of all, you will need essentials like a lock, a bucket, a mug, a
mattress (6’x 3’), a pillow, blanket, curtains, hangers, umbrella and a
scientific calculator.
2. A bicycle is a must since the campus is quite large.
3. Don’t get worked up about how to carry all this – we have a
solution for that too. All these can be bought from Guwahati city to
which IIT buses ply at regular intervals. Also, stalls will be set up inside
the campus, for buying bicycles, mattresses, pillows, etc. Finally, it’s
a free world here and you can bring literally anything - music system,
computer, electric guitar and anything that you can’t live without.
4. Both pre-paid and post-paid connections can be easily obtained
within the campus, however if you wish you can use your home Sim
Card for initial use.
50

51. Reaching The Campus
Getting to Guwahati
Guwahati is well connected to India with rail and air travel. There are
trains from all over the country to reach Guwahati (visit the Indian
Railways official site http://www.indianrail.gov.in/ for complete
information). There are direct flights from all major cities offered by
Indian Airlines, Indigo, Spice, Kingfisher and Jet Airways. Connecting
flights via Kolkata are also available.
Reaching the Campus
From the airport
An auto or a pre-paid taxi is the best way to reach IITG. Fares have to
be negotiated and the ongoing rate is around Rs.350/- .
From the railway station
As soon as you step down onto the Guwahati Railway station, look for
our students carrying ‘IITG’ placards, or their identification cards on
the platform. In case you miss them, go to the parking area of the
railway station and look for buses with “ON IITG DUTY” written on the
bottom corner of their windshield. If you cannot locate any of the
51

52. above, you have other options too. You can take an auto or a taxi from
the station itself. The fare may be around Rs.350/- for an auto and
Rs.450 to Rs.500 for a taxi. Ask to be dropped off at the hostel gate.
Another option is to catch a rickshaw to the pavement outside
President Hotel/Pan Bazaar Institute of Engineers, Pan Bazaar.
Opposite to the President Hotel are IIT buses parked that depart for
the campus every hour. Parents are advised to book their return
tickets in advance at least 2-3 days after registration.
Upon reaching the Campus
All the students will have hostels allotted to them by the time they
reach the campus. Your first job will be to find out which hostel you
have been allotted. This enquiry can be done at the railway station/
airport from the students of IITG. For the parents, accommodation
can be booked in the institute guest house by mailing an application
to guesthouse@iitg.ernet.in specifying the duration of stay, number of
people visiting and the reason for visit. Since the number of rooms in
the Guest House is limited (they have a first-come first-serve policy)
you will be at an advantage if you book your rooms as soon as
possible. There are hotels available in the city too, if accommodation
is not available at the Institute guest house.
52

53. Guwahati City
Known as the gateway to the North-East, Guwahati is a charming,
bustling city – the largest and fastest growing in this region. It is a
scintillating blend of tradition and culture; of modernity and antiquity.
The Brahmaputra along with the mountains give a mesmerizing and
scenic look to the entire city. Summer (April to June) temperatures
vary between 25 and 35 degrees. Winters (November to February)
are chilly, especially at night. Guwahati lies in the monsoon belt
and receives a good dose of rainfall most of the year, particularly in
August. Humidity is high throughout the year. Best time to visit is
November to May, when it is pleasant without being too humid.
IIT Guwahati is situated across the tranquil waters of the
Brahmaputra from the city. Like any other city, Guwahati has its own
share of fancy restaurants, shopping malls and other happening places
to hang out – when you find time to get away from your crushing
schedule. IIT Guwahati students are held in very high regard and get
pretty decent discounts from the local retailers and restaurants. The
fact that almost 90% of Guwahati speaks Hindi should dispel the fears
of facing a language problem. For getting around in the city, cabs or
auto rickshaws are easily available, which can be hired at every market
corner. The best idea would be to hire a car in advance to avoid
getting duped. Taxis are available for transport within the city but are
without meters and fares have to be negotiated beforehand. There is
also an extensive network of city bus services and cycle rickshaws.
53

54. Must Visit
Situated on the bank of the mighty river Brahmaputra, Guwahati said
to be the legendary Pragjyotishpur or City of Eastern Light – is the
gateway to North East India. The name is a combination of two words:
‘Guwa’ meaning areca nut and ‘haat’ meaning market. Guwahati is
the commercial nerve center of the North-East.

56. Post Registration
The first thing you need to ensure is that you apply for your temporary
identity cards from the Student Affairs Section. Without a temporary
I-card, you cannot issue books from the institute Library. The number
of copies of books for the first year in the Library is less compared to
number of students. If you fail to get the books from the Library, you
need to request your seniors for books.
Secondly, you will need a bona fide certificate from the
Student Affairs’ Section if you wish to open a bank account or to apply
for a mobile connection. Please note that Canara Bank and SBI are the
only two Banks that have branches in IIT Guwahati.
Thirdly, you will possess an email account on the IIT Guwahati
webmail server. Ensure that you obtain password for the given email
account from the Computer centre. Most of the updates regarding
you studies, courses and gymkhana activities are sent through
webmail. There is an IIT Guwahati newsgroup to which is also
accessible through your IIT Guwahati login. Also there would be a well
established Fresher’s forum which in you will find all necessary details
and FAQ’s. Fresher’s forum will serve as an online guide to your
frequent queries. Once all these gets over your first week will be spent
attending a barrage of orientation and counselling sessions, along with
classes. If you do the needful, you will be well on your way to become
a model IITian.
