Situated in Guwahati (a modern and safe city) on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra, the well planned campus of IITG is spread over 700 acres having woods, hills (home for different birds and animals) and lakes inside. The lakes are winter home for a wide range of migratory birds. This along with other infrastructural facilities (laboratories, sports facilities, clubs, hostels, computer centre, library, etc.) provides the right ambience for pursuing studies and other social and extra-curricular activities. Guwahati being the gateway to the north-east India, students can explore the natural beauty and rich and diverse cultures of all the north-eastern states. It prides itself on being probably the most scenic academic campus in India.

Academic Structure

A learning-centric teaching learning academic paradigm has been developed at IIT Guwahati where instructors and students work together to make the learning fun and motivating. The students are encouraged in creative activities by including the component of creation a part of the course curriculum. The flexible undergraduate course curriculum is a perfect blending of basic sciences, humanities, engineering sciences and professional courses that allows students to take courses from other departments and encourages interdisciplinary activities.

IIT Guwahati offers the following BTech programmes through JoSAA:

(i) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Biosciences and Bioengineering

(ii) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Chemical Engineering

(iii) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Chemical Science & Technology

(iv) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Civil Engineering

(v) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Computer Science & Engineering

(vi) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Electronics & Communication Engineering

(vii) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Electronics & Electrical Engineering

(viii) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Engineering Physics

(ix) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Mathematics & Computing

(x) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Mechanical Engineering

(xi) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

(xii) B.Tech. (Four-year) in Energy Engineering

IIT Guwahati also offers the following undergraduate programmes:

(xiii) B.Des. (Four-year) in Design (admission through UCEED)

(xiv) Bachelor of Science (BS) 4-year Programme in Biomedical Science and Engineering [Admission through IISER Aptitude Test (IAT)]

In addition, there are postgraduate courses (MTech, MDes, MS(R), MBA, MA and MSc) offered by different departments, schools and centres in large number of specializations. PhD programmes are offered by all the academic departments, schools and centres. The Institute also offers dual degree Masters+PhD programmes.

The Institute follows a semester-based credit system. The BTech, BDes and BS programmes consist of 8 semesters spread over 4 academic years. Each semester has theory courses and supporting laboratory courses. Students do a Bachelor’s thesis project work in the last two semesters providing them ample scope for independent work. Some courses are also offered during the summer recess for students to make up for academic deficiencies in regular semesters. Supplementary examinations are also conducted for those students who secure “F” grades due to poor academic performance in courses offered during the immediately preceding regular semester, providing them a chance to clear the failed courses.

Credits are allotted to various courses depending on the number of lecture/tutorial/laboratory hours per week. A student’s performance in a course is continuously evaluated throughout the semester. This culminates in the award of a letter grade for each course, which is then converted to a 10-point scale for calculating grade point averages. Performance in a semester is evaluated in terms of the weighted average of grade points secured in all the courses registered in that semester. This is referred to as the Semester Performance Index (SPI). A Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is also calculated at the end of each semester, which represents the weighted average of the grade points secured by a student in all the semesters attended up to that point in time.

BTech/BDes students are also encouraged to do summer internships in reputed industries/ academic institutions/ research laboratories and work on practical and challenging problems. Our students do summer internships in different reputed industries and universities around the globe. The Institute also hosts a fairly large number of exchange students from other countries spending a semester or a year at IITG. Some BTech/BDes students can also spend a semester or two at another university through academic exchange programmes. The Institute also admits a large number of foreign students from Europe, Asia and Africa pursuing full Master’s or PhD programmes through various programmes and projects.

Students (depending upon their performance and availability of seats) may opt for a Minor Specialization in a discipline other than the discipline he/she is registered in. On successful completion of prescribed credits in that discipline, a student will be eligible for minor specialization mentioned in the degree certificate and in the final grade card. For example, a student with a BTech in Mechanical Engineering can earn a Minor in Computer Science and Engineering.
