IIT Ga ndhinaga r being a new institute p rovide s us with a tremendous op portunity

to experiment in education. In its short existence of three years, the institute has

a lrea dy ga ined a reputa tion for innova tions in ed uc a tion. Our foc us a rea s have

been:

Life skills and b road-ba sed c urricula for our stud ents. Signific ant p rojec t-ba sed

learning . Lea rning throug h ma ny extra-curricular ac tivities suc h as p rojec ts and

c om petitions. Soc ia l orienta tion of the stud ents whe re the y are g round ed in the

rea lities of soc iety.

Rec ruitme nt a nd rete ntion of outstand ing fac ulty in the Institute. Emp ow ering

and enc ouraging them to c arry out cutting ed ge resea rc h.

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

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

supp ort system is provided to tho se w ho ne ed one .

A brief summary of some of our experiments in education is available at our

we bsite. Three nota ble one s a re:

New c urric ula for bo th B.Tec h a nd M.Tec h p rog ramm es a t the Institute have ve ry

The institute toda y show s a very high level of ene rgy a nd eng ag em ent o f a ll sec tions: fac ulty,

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 we ll in the inte r-IIT Sports me et for the last tw o yea rs. This high leve l of engagem ent o f

our students is visible in all facets: organization of cultural and technical events, social work,resea rc h a nd design p rojec ts outside the c urric ulum, a nd in-class partic ipa tion.

IIT Ga ndhinagar today ta kes tremend ous pride in its student bod y for its ma turity a nd

lea dership skills. We a re c onfident tha t the se yo ung me n a nd wo me n w ill not on ly b ring glory to

the Institute in the years ahead, but will also be instrumental in changing the society, both

tec hnolog ic ally a nd otherwise.

The Institute is looking for industry pa rtners who will not just rec ruit our gradua tes, but w ill alsoprovide us with a c onstant feed ba c k on their pe rforma nce and help us c ontinuously mo dify 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 e merge a s a truly wo rld -c lass unive rsity.

INNOVATIONS AT IITGN


IITGN a spires to be a lea der and a trend-sette r in educ a tion. In this end ea vour, we

enthusiastically encourage all novel educational initiatives consistent with the core values,

mission a nd vision o f the Institute . Som e o f our rec ent initiatives are:

Foundation Programme for Self Development: In the Fa ll semeste r of 2011, IITGN will be

introducing a Foundation Programme that will require all new undergraduate students to

und ergo an intense five-we ek prog ramme to d eve lop their life-skills. The ide a is to he lp 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,

outsta nd ing eng ineers and responsible c itizens. This p rog ramme will be a signific antenhanc em ent of a one-wee k orienta tion p rog ram me tha t the Institute has be en c ond ucting

very effec tively for the last tw o yea rs, that c onsists of w orkshop s on c om munica tion, thea tre,

ap prec ia tion of a rc hitec ture, and va rious ga me s tha t see k to inculca te team spirit.

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

c urriculum in the c ountry is being introd uc ed from July 2011. The ne w c urriculum fo c uses on the

ove ra ll deve lop me nt of the stud ents and will p rep are the m fo r their last job, ra ther than fo c us on

their first job . It w ill have a sign ific ant c om po nent of hum anities and soc ial sc ienc e, c om pulsory

c oursew ork in life-sc ienc es, signific ant exposure to d esign and c rea tivity, and p rovide flexibility

to the stud ents.

Internationa l Fac ulty: The Institute is enthusiastic a bout b ring ing internat iona l fac ulty on boa rd. A

Ge rma n c ollea gue joined the Institute in Dec em ber 2010 for a yea r and is c urrently tea c hing a

c ourse o n Am eric an Litera ture. Two Swiss p rofessors from EPFL ha ve taug ht c ourses on Co mpute r

Sc ienc e in the Spring sem ester of 2010-11. Further, a signific ant num ber of fa c ulty memb ers ofInd ian origin but ho lding c itizenships of o the r c oun tries ha ve a lrea dy joined the Institute.

Projec t-Based Lea rning: The Institute p lac es great em pha sis on stud ents und ertaking p rojec ts of

interest to them o utside the c urriculum. It is hea rtening to see our stud ents und erta king exc iting

p rojec ts in Fire Eng ineering , Biome d ica l Eng ineering a nd the like, under the m entorship o f fac ulty

from no t on ly within the Institute b ut a lso from top institutions wo rldwide.


11/20

Liberalization in Branc h Change Polic y: To p rovide an environm ent whe re students a re free to

deve lop the ir passions, IITGN fo llow s the most libera l po lic y for b ranc h c ha nges a fter the first

year. We also have a formal structure to convey the excitement, promise, and relevance of

ea c h b ranc h of e ngineering to o ur stud ents. The Institute has ac hieved the unique d istinction of

being a b le to a c c om mo da te a ll req uests from our stud ents for a c hange of b ranc h last yea r. This

is p rob ab ly the first t ime in the history of the IIT system tha t suc h a policy has bee n suc c essfully

implemented.

Comprehensive Viva-Voce: The Institute ha s introd uc ed a c om prehe nsive viva-voc e to

identify talents and we aknesses of stud ents ea rly. The stud ents are enc ouraged to p ursue theirta lents vigourously and to address a reas of c onc ern without hesitation . This is a ma nd a tory pass/

no-pass activity conducted every semester for all the undergraduate students by a panel of

fac ulty. It enab les the Institute to understand its stud ent b od y be tter and to estab lish one -on-one

c onnec tions by g iving a ttention a nd feed ba c k to ea c h individua l, and assess our teac hing-

lea rning am bience .

Emphasis on Physical Educ ation : With firm belief in the truism tha t a hea lthy mind lives in a hea lthy

body, the Institute has introduced a demanding physical education component in the

c urric ulum. All und ergrad ua te students must enga ge in forma l sports ac tivity a t lea st five d ays a

we ek d uring the first tw o sem esters a t the Institute. This p rogramm e ha s bee n very effe c tive in

rekind ling the passion fo r sports and outd oo r ac tivities in the stud ents. This is very imp orta nt

bec ause, fo r several years befo re joining IIT, ma ny stud ents shun a ll forms of extra -curricular

ac tivities and c onfine themselves on ly to stud ies.

Short-Courses: IITGN ha s sta rted a Short-Co urse Series for the we ll-round ed growth o f thestud ents. Eac h suc h Short-Co urse ha s a duration o f 8-10 hours, and is c onduc ted by a g uest on a

top ic d ifferent from the sub jec ts in the reg ula r curric ulum. Eac h c ourse ea rns the students one

c red it (mentioned in the g rade c ard) a nd is voluntary on pa rt of the students. Som e o f our rec ent

Short-Courses ha ve b ee n on Ind ian Demo c rac y, Entrep reneurship, Energy Efficienc y, Literature,

and Co smo log y. These c ourses a re o pen to stud ents and fac ulty of o ther co lleg es in the c ity so a s

to d evelop b etter ac ad em ic links and c ontribute to the c omm unity.
