In order to update the syllabi and modernize the instructional infrastructure and improve methods/facilities, the following measures were undertaken during the year under review:
REVIEW OF EXISTING U.G./P.G. PROGRAMMES A comprehensive review of the B.Tech. curriculum of the Institute
was initiated in December 1999 with the appointment of a Curriculum Review Committee (CRC). The CRC took stock of the current programme and its weaknesses were identified. The basic principles in designing curricula, keeping the aims and objectives of U.G. education were kept in view. The basic framework of the revised U.G.
programme has since been adopted and it places high emphasis on flexibility, self-learning, motivation, industrial interaction, exposure to emerging areas and identification with the national aspirations. The programme has been designed to have (i) a more restricted core content with greater flexibility, being provided to the student as he/she chooses courses, (ii) less lectures and more tutorials, practical and project work, (iii) laboratory practicals forming separate courses which are de-linked from theory courses, (iv) a compulsory course in emerging sciences and technologies.
Apart from these structural changes, there will be more emphasis on fundamentals in the courses and in the programmes, creative thoughts, design, solution of open-ended problems, communication skills and to provide necessary inputs to ensure identification with Indian realities and goals of nation building.
The nature of the courses and their contents have been redesigned so that they are consistent with the philosophy and basic premises of the new curriculum. The new undergraduate curriculum has come into effect commencing with the 2003 entry students. The complete course structures, course contents and scheduling have been made effective from the academic year 2003-2004.
U.G. PROGRAMMES During the year under report the revised UG Curriculum has nearly
come to full steam with 3 batches underway. Apart from making the courses available as per the new curriculum, some minor area programs have also been formulated. These are as follows:
Computer Science & Engineering.
Computational Mechanics.
Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
Process Engineering.
Business Management.
Energy Technology.
System Dynamics and Control.
Nano Science and Engineering.
Photonics.
Each minor area is defined in terms of some core courses and a list of electives. A student needs to do 20 credits out of these courses to earn a minor area qualification.

With increase in the student strength in the recent years, the class sizes have become larger and the shortage of large class room has been felt acutely. These two new lecture theatres will provide some relief regarding this shortage.
Due to increased student strength in the last few years, several initiatives have also been taken to allow for smooth functioning of classes. This has been done in some cases by splitting the large classes in first year into 2 groups of morning and evening sessions. While one group has lectures in the morning and labs in the afternoons, the other group has lab classes in the morning and lectures in the afternoons.
P.G. PROGRAMMES
To meet the societal needs, a number of new elective courses have been introduced by the Departments/Centres. Besides, all M. Tech. programmes had been thoroughly revised and implemented w.e.f. academic session 2003-2004.
M.B.A. PROGRAMMES The Department of Management Studies at the Institute has
introduced two MBA programmes starting from July 1997. The full-time MBA programme is focused on "Management Systems and Tele- Communication Systems Management" and is designed to be completed in two years; and 3-year part-time MBA programme with focus on Technology Management.
SCHOLARSHIPS/ASSISTANTSHIPS AND AWARDS
Undergraduate Scholarships A number of cash prizes and merit-cum-means scholarships are

TRAINING AND PLACEMENT (T&P) Training & Placement activities are guided by an Institute Level
Committee consisting of faculty members and students. As in the past, the Training and Placement Unit continued to plan, organise and consolidate the Training and Placement activities for students. It actively interacted with various industrial, technical, management and research organisations in the country. The dual aim of establishing this rapport is to ensure that students are given adequate technical exposure/ industrial training during their pre-final year and subsequently get employment in organisations which match their aspirations and objectives.
The literature of companies such as annual reports, technical brochures, publicity material and functional requirements for fresh graduates are made available to students in the Reference Library being maintained in Training & Placement Office. Now with a large amount of digital information available on internet and interanet, students are well informed.
As in the previous year, this year too, the web based placement services were implemented using internal T&P server. The students got all information on their desktops PCs, applied on-line and could see the progress of their application including the final results.The companies too were issued user name and password for accessing and shortlisting CVs and uploading their presentations and files. This considerably reduced the conventional Pre-placement Talks on the campus.
The student committees, i.e. Central Committee at the Institute level as well as Nucleus Committees at departmental level, actively participated in the Training & Placement activities.
The analysis of the past training and placement activities was presented to the students to help them decide their future course of action. Constant liaison with industries was maintained throughout the year to ensure that the students not only got a job but also are placed in an organization commensurate with their core competence.
This office also organised some pre-placement workshops, panel discussions and career counselling talks by distinguished persons from reputed technical, industrial, management and research organisations for the benefit of the graduating students. Some of the Institute alumni who are holding very senior positions in private and
29
IIT Delhi
public sector organisations were also invited to share their personal experience with students community of the Institute.
Training
A personal dialogue with top executives of a large number of industries resulted in better understanding of their functional requirements and training activities. This effort also helped the T&P Unit in the effective planning of summer vacation training for pre-final year B.Tech./Dual Degree/ Integrated M.Tech. students, besides obtaining a good number of stipends and other facilities such as transport, accommodation etc. Quite a few industries giving excellent training and stipends were invited to interview and select the students for practical training.
The T&P unit with the active cooperation of Nucleus Committees of the departments not only got all its requirements, but also got 157 stipends and 85 other perquisites. Detailed instructions to students were also issued prior to the commencement of the training programme. A gist of data regarding the pre-final year students training is given in Appendix X (Table-1).
Placement A letter of invitation for Campus Interviews was sent to a large
number of public or private sector organisations especially to those which visited the Institute for campus interviews during the last three years. A large number of them gave electronic copies which were made available to the students through internal web server. This vigorous drive resulted in requisitions being obtained from industries for 365 profiles. Updated record of emoluments offered by various industries available with T&P office prompted some other organisations in revising their pay scales. Ground rules for placement evolved in consultation with the students and faculty members led to a just and equitable distribution of job opportunities amongst the student community. A summary of Placement data is given below:-
Placement (B.Tech./Dual/5-year Integrated M.Tech./M.Tech.) 2009-2010
No. of Companies on Campus : 304
No. of Profiles opened : 365

Student Life on the Campus Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is an Institute where majority of
the faculty, students and research scholars reside on the campus. Considerable efforts are, therefore, made to see to it that students lead a Campus life in continuous communication with their teachers and fellow students so that they turn out to be balanced and integrated individuals useful to the society they belong and to the world at large. To ensure that freshers settle down in their new surroundings comfortably, a Freshers’ Orientation Programme was organized at the beginning of the academic session. Counselling Service provides counselling to students on adjustment problems or for the problems arising from financial hardship, and emotional/psychological problems affecting academic pursuits.
There are nine hostels for boys, five with a capacity in the range of 400-450 and the others in the range 300-350 of each; two hostels for girls students with a capacity of 300 and 160 each.

Board for Hostel Management (BHM) The Board for Hostel Management is an important Board in the SAC
to decide the students issues directly.
Right from the beginning of this academic year, hostel maintenance problems were undertaken. A number of meetings with the Dean of Students, wardens, hostel functionaries, Institute Engineer and engineering staff were held. For proper implementation of maintenance schedules, long-term and short-term problems were identified and engineering staff visits to each hostel for monitoring work. Special efforts were made towards the cleaning of common areas.
Security problems in each hostel were reviewed and detail discussion with the wardens, students and security personnel’s was held.
Considerable efforts were made for providing accommodation to all students. Some of them were temporarily accommodated in Nalanda, Indraprastha and New Vindhyachal Apartments.
Continuing dialogue between the mess staff, student representatives and authorities has resulted in better work environment. Five BHM employees were rewarded by special awards for the hard work and excellent services rendered to the Organization. This Award was given on Independence Day during the flag hoisting function. This has been a morale booster for the workers. Regular meetings with the staff improved their punctuality.
