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.

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 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 must attend every class and work regularly. We expect the highest standards of honesty, integrity and sincerity from our students. Please 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

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!

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 should be simple – including the IIT system. Everything is available in the Institute’s Internet as well as Intranet sites. I do not need to educate you on those, rather I expect you to add a few more enlightened provisions to the same in due course.

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.

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 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 wrong, but the answer came to my mind promptly, as all these are there in IIT Guwahati.

Dear Students, We, on behalf of entire JEE-2011 team, are very much pleased in welcoming you to IIT Guwahati. In addition, I would like to congratulate you for your great success in JEE, which is a toughest but most prestigious competitive entrance examination in the country. Now, the JEE-2011 has opened your door to the IITs, the institutions of national importance, ISM Dhanbad, and IT-BHU Varanasi.

For the first time in the history of JEE, the 2011 edition of the JEE has displayed the scanned copies of Optical Response Sheet with the candidates’ details and their responses. This process made the JEE transparent and enabled to see how much the candidates have scored in every question and how both the papers have been evaluated.

IIT Guwahati, the sixth member of IIT fraternity, was established in 1994, but grown itself into a vast institute of learning with excellent environment of teaching and internationally recognized research in the last eighteen years. The institute has state-of-the-art teaching laboratories in all the engineering and science disciplines combined with central workshop, computer centre, computerized central library and central instruments facilities to provide exciting academic and dynamic research platforms. Also, the institute has a Gymkhana covering good collection of musical equipment, Indoor sports facility, flood-lit sports fields, and swimming pool, etc. We do hope that you would enjoy your studies and stay here at IIT Guwahati

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.

For those who are feeling anxious leaving your homes for the first time I would like assure that IIT Guwahati is no less than your homes and the campus life that you get out here is surely going to be once-in-a-lifetime experience.

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.

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.

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.

13

No RaggingDoes 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.

Cultural BoardAlways 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.

AlcheringaIn 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

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,

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!

ManthanYour 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

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.

PAFThe 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!

Inter IIT Sports MeetInter 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.

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!

SpardhaSpardha, 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.

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.

SpiritSpirit 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.

Hostel Affairs BoardThe 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.

33

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.

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

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.

General ChampionshipManthan, 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.

38

Student OrganisationsThe 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

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.

FacilitiesThe 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.

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).

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 SystemThe 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.

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

Academics

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!

GradingThe 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

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 ChangeThere 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.

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.

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.

NecessitiesPacking Your BagsGoing 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.

51

Reaching The CampusGetting to GuwahatiGuwahati 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 CampusFromtheairport 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/- .

Fromtherailwaystation

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

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 CampusAll 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.

Guwahati CityKnown 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.

54

Must VisitSituated 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.

Post RegistrationThe 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.
