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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
