About IIT Gandhinagar

IIT Gandhinagar being a new institute provides us with a tremendous

opportunity to experiment in education. In its short existence of four years,

the Institute has already gained a reputation for innovations in education and

in governance. Our focus areas have been:

Life skills and broad-based curricula for our students. Significant project-based learning. Learning through many extra-curricular activities such as

projects and competitions. Social orientation of the students where they

are grounded in the realities of society.

Recruitment and retention of outstanding faculty in the Institute.

Empowering and encouraging them to carry out cutting edge research.

Paradigm shift in our entire management philosophy. On one side merit

is rewarded and encouraged at all levels, while on the other side, adequate

support system is provided to those who need one.

A brief summary of some of our experiments in education is available at our website. Two notable ones are:

New curricula for both B. Tech and M. Tech programmes at the Institute have very high level of emphasis on

humanities and social science courses.

The new B.Tech students go through a 5-week Foundation Programme to enable them a smooth transition to the

challenges ahead in their years at IITGN and in the professional life beyond IITGN.

The Institute today shows a very high level of energy and engagement of all sections: faculty, students and staff. Visitors

to the Institute in the evenings are often surprised to see a disproportionately large number of students engaged in sports

such as basket ball and volleyball. No wonder, despite a rather small student body, our students have been doing

extremely well in the inter-IIT Sports meet for the last three years. This high level of engagement of our students is visiblein all facets: organization of cultural and technical events, social work, research and design projects outside the

curriculum, and in-class participation.

IIT Gandhinagar today takes tremendous pride in its student body for its maturity and leadership skills. We are

confident that these young men and women will not only bring glory to the Institute in the years ahead, but will also be

instrumental in changing the society, both technologically and otherwise.

The Institute is looking for industry partners who will not just recruit our graduates, but will also provide us with a

constant feedback on their performance and help us continuously modify our curriculum that is responsive to the

changing environment. We welcome all suggestions, participation and engagement from industry and other well

wishers, in our endeavor to have IITGN emerge as a truly world-class university.

Innovations at IITGN

IITGN aspires to be a leader and a trend-setter in education. In this endeavour, we enthusiastically encourage all novel

educational initiatives consistent with the core values, mission and vision of the Institute. Some of our recent initiatives

are briefly outlined below.

Foundation Programme for Self Development: IITGN has recently introduced a Foundation Programme that

requires all new undergraduate students to undergo an intense five-week programme to develop their life-skills. The ideais to help the students make a smooth transition from the days of single-minded preparation for the JEE to a new phase in

life that would ultimately shape them to be well-rounded human beings, outstanding engineers and responsible citizens.

This programme focuses on nurturing creativity, communication skills, ethics, teamwork, social engagement and

physical fitness.

Curricular Initiatives: A brand new undergraduate curriculum that is a significant departure from any other

curriculum in the country has now been implemented. The new curriculum focuses on the overall development of the

students and will prepare them for their last job, rather than for their first job. It has a significant component of

humanities and social science, compulsory coursework in life-sciences, significant exposure to design and creativity, and

provide flexibility to the students.

Short-Courses: IITGN has started a Short-Course Series for the well-rounded growth of the students. Each such Short-

Course has duration of 8-10 hours, and is conducted by a guest on a topic different from the subjects in the regular

curriculum. Each course earns the students one credit (mentioned in the grade card) and is voluntary on part of the

students. Some of our recent Short-Courses have been on Indian Democracy, Entrepreneurship, Energy Efficiency,

Literature, and Cosmology. These courses are open to students and faculty of other colleges in the city so as to develop

better academic links and contribute to the community.

Project-Based Learning: The Institute places great emphasis on students undertaking projects of interest to them

outside the curriculum. It is heartening to see our students undertaking exciting projects in Fire Engineering, Biomedical

Engineering and the like, under the mentorship of faculty from not only within the Institute but also from top

institutions worldwide.

Earn-While-You-Learn Programme: The Institute conducts a programme where undergraduate students help in the

library, computer centre, external relations, and in grading assignments. The programme provides financial help, instills

the value of dignity of labour, and builds self-esteem of the participating students.


11/24

Liberalization in Branch Change Policy:To provide an environment where students are free to develop their passions,

IITGN follows the most liberal policy for branch changes after the first year. We also have a formal structure to convey

the excitement, promise, and relevance of each branch of engineering to our students. The Institute has achieved the

unique distinction of being able to accommodate all requests from our students for a change of branch in the year 2010.

Comprehensive Viva-Voce:The Institute has introduced a comprehensive viva-voce to identify talents and weaknessesof students early. The students are encouraged to pursue their talents vigourously and to address areas of concern

without hesitation. This is a mandatory pass/ no-pass activity conducted every semester for all the undergraduate

students by a panel of faculty. It enables the Institute to understand its student body better and to establish one-on-one

connections by giving attention and feedback to each individual, and assess our teaching-learning ambience.

Emphasis on Physical Education: With firm belief in the truism that a healthy mind lives in a healthy body, the

Institute has introduced a demanding physical education component in the curriculum. All undergraduate students must

engage in formal sports activity at least five days a week during the first two semesters at the Institute. This programme

has been very effective in rekindling the passion for sports and outdoor activities in the students. This is very important

because, for several years before joining IIT, many students shun all forms of extra-curricular activities and confine

themselves only to studies.

Forging Local Partnerships: The Institute is developing strong links with other engineering colleges and to achieve this

goal has developed two programmes. The Summer Research Fellowships are meant to enable faculty of other

engineering colleges to spend their summer vacations at IITGN to develop research collaboration with our faculty. The

Non-Degree Programme enables students of other colleges to credit courses at IITGN on a full-time basis for a semester,

or on a part-time basis. The part-time Non-Degree programme is also open to industry personnel.

International Faculty: The Institute is enthusiastic about bringing international faculty on board, and by now, a good

mix of international faculty from various countries such as Germany, US and Portugal have spent a semester or more at

IIT Gandhinagar.


12/24

Students at IIT GN execute their innovative ideas considering the challenges faced in our society to make their

surroundings a smarter place to live in. And treading on the same lines are some of the technical innovations which

caught the attention of not only eye balls at the campus but even the camera lenses of the leading media houses of the city.

Technical Activities

Student Run Fire Protection Lab: A group of students have

developed a Kitchen Fire Safety Laboratory at IITGN campus incollaboration with Underwriters Laboratories (Chicago), which has

more than 110 years of history in development fire safety standards,

testing, and product certification. Fire protection engineering is a

multi-disciplinary profession requiring expertise in several

traditional engineering fields such as civil, mechanical, and chemical

engineering. It deals with the problem of unintended and

uncontrolled combustion.This often results in catastrophic losses of

life and property. This is one of the few fields where the professional

makes a direct observable impact on the safety of the whole

community.

Incense Stick Making Machine: The project was conceived with an

aim of increasing the livelihood of Incense stick workers. The

underlying objective of this project was to create low-cost Incense

stick maker, which can double the production capacity which will led

to double the earning. With this innovation, women can make about

6000 sticks a day. The machine is designed to be ergonomic which

will mitigate the problems of back ache. The salient feature of this

innovation is that it is semi-automated and hand-driven. Since, the

mechanism is hand-driven the Incense stick worker cannot be easily

replaced by such machines. The Incense Stick Making Machine won

the 'Gandhian Young Innovation' award for the year 2012.

Smart Cane - Helping The Blind: In order to address the daily difficulties faced

by the blind, students at IITGN took the challenge to revamp the conventional

cane. They loaded the cane with sensors and microcontrollers and named it as

'The Smart Cane'. The walking stick vibrates and buzzes in different ways to

inform the user about the shape and kind of obstacles 2 to 3 meters ahead.

Students also visited the Blind People Association to assess the needs of the

designated users of the cane. After a successful trial run of the idea, a contest

named 'Smart Cane Design Challenge' was organized. The contest was aimed at

designing a low cost, light weight smart cane for the blind.

Coding Club: The Coding Club aims to bring together the programmingenthusiasts at IIT Gandhinagar. It is intended to serve as an avenue for discussions,

competition and learning for all those who love programming. The Coding Club

conducted a workshop on Android App Development on 30 March and 1 April,

2012.

Adding to the above innovations, some of other notable ideas that came to life

were workable models of solar powered lamp and solar powered vehicle at

Underwriters Laboratories (Chicago), low cost oil extractor for fried foods,

pomegranate seed remover, stair-climbing wheel chair, sugar cane cutter and a lot

more.


13/24

Sports at IITGN

A host of sports facilities are available

to the students on campus including

badminton, table tennis, volleyball,

cricket, basketball and football. A state-

of-the-art Gymnasium with instructorsis also available in the campus.

Coaching for Lawn Tennis and

Swimming is provided at ONGC and

Sports Authority of India, respectively.

Aqualified full-time physical education

instructor and several part-time

coaches have been appointed to train

the students.

The students religiously participate in

the inter-IIT competitions and have

brought laurels to the institute. The

students secured two gold, three silverthand a bronze medal at the 47 inter-IIT

thSports meet and finished at the 5

position among participating IITs. The

same year our students also won a Gold

medal and a Silver medal in the 50m

Butterfly and 100m Backstrokethrespectively at the 47 Inter-IIT

Aquatic Meet.

The second edition of Halla Bol, the all-

night intra-college sports festival

witnessed more than 2100 registrations

for ten improvised games such as

Futsal, Touch, Rugby, Kabbadi,

Dodgeball, Gully Cricket, 7 Stones,

Kho-Kho, and Tug of War. With over

85% of the undergraduate students at

the Institute participating in one or

more events, Halla Bol demonstrated

the tremendous enthusiasm for sports

in the Institute with 400 matches being

played in 9 days. The tireless work put

in by the core-team of 40 members and

over 40 volunteers ensured that the

event went off without a hitch.


14/24

Enthusiasm and The Institute

The students and faculty of IITGN show an extraordinary level of enthusiasm and participation towards the institute.

Only a few examples are mentioned here.

Blithchron: All the technical festivals and the

cultural initiatives at IIT GN are conducted by astudent body called Blithchron. With the

inception of formation of the student body IIT

GN organized its first inter college cultural

festival in the year 2010. With the coming years

the response to the inter college has been

growing in terms of stature and footfalls.

Blithchron'2012 witnessed a footfall of more

than 10,000 owing to innovative events like

Pancahe, Antragnee, String Theory etc.

Keeping in mind that 2011 was declared as the

International Year of Forests (IYF) by the

United Nation and the global concern being

deforestation and global warming, a tree

Plantation drive was organized by Team

Blithchron. Mr. Pushkar Ganesh Vaidya, head

scientist of Indian Astrobiology Research

Centre (IARC) and the Head of IYF India

program, made his esteemed presence felt at this

occasion. The tree plantation drive was

inaugurated by Dr. Sudhir Jain and the eventreceived an overwhelming response from the

students.

Amalthea: The students of IITGN have been

organizing a theme based conclave since 2010.

Amalthea'10 was a two day conglomeration on

Renewable Energy whereas Amalthea '11 was

based on the subject matter Infrastructure:

Present Scenario and Future. The event was

supported by major companies in India through

lectures, sponsorships or both. Amalthea

showcased the leadership skills of students and

they also had their inquisitions quenched by some

of the pioneers of Indian industries. It led to the

strengthening of the IITGN spirit which lies in

sharing of knowledge and continual expansion of

the human horizons of thinking beyond the

obvious. The students at IITGN are planning to

organize a conference on International Safety as a

part of Amalthea for the year 2012.


15/24

Community Outreach: The Institute is strongly

committed to sensitizing students to the needs of

the society and motivates them to contribute in

small ways from an early age. With this intention,

the IITGN community is currently involved in

two major initiatives. Since August 2010, a team

of our girl students have been spending 3 hours

every weekend with 75 girl students from Sakar

School, Ahmedabad to enthuse them about

Science and Mathematics. In January 2011,

members of IITGN community started Nyasa, a

programme to address the health and education

needs of construction workers and their families

on campus. As part of Nyasa, they organized ahuge community lunch; held clothes collection

drives, and distributed woollen clothes in winter.

Currently, the Nyasa team hosts 2-hour play-

sessions with the children of construction

workers every Sunday. In the year 2012, Nyasa

organized a week long health check up campaign

in the month of February.

Students of IITGN, in association with Prathama,

organized a blood donation camp on January 13,

2012. The drive was supported by sixty sixdonors.

Cultural Activities: Cultural activities include

a music club, which arranges for instruction in

vocal and instrumental music and organizes

cultural functions and competitionsperiodically, a dance club, a cinematic club, a

drama club and a photography club. The entire

student body enthusiastically celebrates all

festivals like Republic & Independence Days,

Gandhi Jayanti, Holi, Dushehra, etc.


16/24

Internships

Summer internships are considered an important part of education. These not only expose the students to the sense of the

real world but also help them bridging the gap between the elementary concepts taught in the class rooms and the

industrial/research applications of the same. This in turn unleashes the creative potential of the students and helps them

in deciding their future goals in specific fields of industry and research. Keeping the importance of the summer

internships in mind, the institute aggressively finds internship opportunities in industry and research institutes both

within the country and outside. We encourage our students to go for internships at least more than once in their entire B.Tech program. These internships also provide an excellent ambience for developing interpersonal communication and

teamwork skills along with technical aptitude with behavioral learning. The typical internship period would be in the

summer, from mid May to mid July, ranging between 8-10 weeks.
