 Notes pertaining to academic activities
Many academic units organize orientation programmes for teaching assistants (TAs) and R&D orientations for new PG and
UG entrants. An Institute level orientation is also often organized for these purposes. Attendance and participation in the
1. orientation programme is mandatory for TAs. Absence from the same will make the TAs liable for a financial penalty in the
scholarship / financial support. All academic units / instructors of Institute core courses are expected to organize the orientation
in a format that they find appropriate to enable the best use of the services of the TAs.

2. Registration for half-semester courses should also be completed at the beginning of the semester.

A  flat amount of Rs.1000/­ will be charged for late payment of fees and for late registration till last date of late 
3.
registration.

Dates for payment of fees by new entrants will be informed to the candidates while offering admission and put up also on IIT
4.
Bombay website. These dates could be different for various programmes offered by the Institute.

Notes pertaining to Dissertation / PhD Annual Progress Seminar

PhD students with CSIR / UGC fellowships and supported by other similar agencies can schedule their Annual Progress
1.
Seminar by considering requirements of funding agency. The schedule must be maintained in a consistent manner.

For evaluations of Masters' / Dual Degree Dissertations, the evaluation schedule in a given academic unit may be spread
2. over a large enough segment with the permissible time-window to allow possibilities of adjustment of evaluation date(s)
and prevent overloading the faculty members with too many evaluations on a single day.

For project / dissertation / credit seminar related presentations, report / dissertation should be submitted at least seven days
3.
prior to the date of presentation / assessment.
