About us
History
The concept of the IITs was first introduced in a report
in the year 1945 by Shri N.M. Sircar, then member of
Education on Viceroy’s Executive Council. Following his
recommendations, the first Indian Institute of Technology
was established in the year 1950 in Kharagpur. In his
report, Shri Sircar had suggested that such Institutes
should also be started in different parts of the country. The
Government having accepted these recommendations of
the Sircar Committee decided to establish more Institutes
of Technology with the assistance of friendly countries who
were prepared to help. The first offer of help came from
USSR which agreed to collaborate in the establishment of an
Institute through UNESCO at Bombay. This was followed by
the Institutes of Technology at Madras, Kanpur and Delhi with
collaborations with West Germany, USA, and UK respectively.
IIT Delhi, established as College of Engineering in 1961, was
later declared an Institute of National Importance under
the “Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963”,
re-named as “Indian Institute of Technology Delhi”, and
accorded the status of a deemed university.
Presently, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is one
of twenty-three IITs for higher education, research and
2 ABOUT US
development in science, engineering & technology,
humanities & social sciences, Public Policy, and in
management in India. The others are at Bhilai, Bhubaneswar,
Bombay, Dhanbad, Dharwad, Gandhinagar, Goa, Guwahati,
Hyderabad, Indore, Jammu, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Kharagpur,
Madras, Mandi, Palakkad, Patna, Roorkee, Ropar, Tirupati,
and Varanasi.
Status
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is an autonomous
statutory organisation of the Government of India,
functioning within the “Institutes of Technology Act, 1961”
as amended by the “Institutes of Technology (Amendment)
Act, 1963”. It is accorded the status of a deemed university
with powers to frame its own academic policy, to conduct
its own examinations, and to award its own degrees. The
Institute was declared as an “Institute of Eminence” by the
Government of India in 2018.
IIT Delhi is one of the twenty-three Institutes of Technology
coordinated by an apex body known as IIT Council with the
Minister for Education of the Government of India as its
Chairperson.
IIT DELHI
Campus IIT Delhi Campus Map

The Institute campus extends over an area of 320 acres. Tastefully laid out with the picturesque landscape and with
numerous buildings of various types and, with clean and wide roads, the campus presents a spectacle of harmony in
architecture and natural beauty. The campus area has been divided into four functional zones:
• Residential zone for students;
• Residential zone for the faculty and other supporting staff;
• Academic zone for academic buildings and workshops; and
• Cultural-cum-social and recreational zone for students.
The site being longitudinal in shape, the academic and social-cum-cultural zones have been located mid-way between
the two residential zones. The campus provides several essential amenities for community living like hospital, shopping
center, banks, post office, community center, staff club, students’ activities center, stadium, playing fields etc.
IIT Delhi has been extending its boundaries. One extension campus has been established in Sonepat, Haryana over 50
acres of land allocated by the Government of Haryana. A Technopark with high class facilities has been setup there.
Another extension campus is planned in Jhajjar, Haryana over 50 acres of land.

Prof. Rangan Banerjee
Director, IIT Delhi

Message
from
the Director
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is pleased to
release its Annual Report for the year 2021-2022.
The last year has been challenging, yet full
of hope and promise for IIT Delhi. We have
navigated the troubling phase of the pandemic
since 2020, coped with lockdowns, quarantines,
health issues and personal losses. We gradually
reverted and restarted, slowly inching back to
normalcy with the campus reverting to its pre-
pandemic vibrancy and spirit.
The Institute continues to attract the best students
from across the country. We have extremely
high selectivity at all levels with only a small
percentage of applicants less than 1% making
it to our academic programmes. We have been
successful at attracting competitive research
grants, setting up centres of excellence and
seeing our ideas and research making an impact
in society. The world, country and Institute are
just emerging from the havoc caused by the Covid
pandemic – though this was an unprecedented
break in the rhythm of our everyday life, it is
heartening to note that not only did IIT Delhi
manage to continue its academic and research
programmes but we also made outstanding
contributions to help fight the pandemic through
innovative products and solutions. It is a matter
of pride that we were able to participate in the
national mission of managing and containing the
effects of this global catastrophe.
In the financial year 2021-22, the Institute
received financial support from various sources
which include Government of India grant-in-aid
amounting to ₹904 crores from the Ministry of
Education. In addition to this the Institute has
received grants from various funding agencies
and Industries under research and consultancy
project heads to the tune of ₹386 crores. The
Institute has also received generous funds of ₹96
crores from various sources (i.e. Endowment fund,
Alumni Contribution, Chairs etc.). Total financial
support the Institute received in the financial
year 2021- 22 is ₹1,386 crores. During this period
total revenue generated by the Institute from all
its internal sources (IRG) is ₹119 crores.
We would like to put on record our gratitude
to the faculty, students and staff for all their
co-operation, support and hard work that helped
6 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
us cope with these difficult years and helped us
emerge and pause the restart button. We have
seen the efforts of our faculty and researchers
make an impact in the battle against COVID –
our covid kits, masks, innovative technologies,
support for the COWIN App - showed that we can
rise to the challenge and make a difference.
We would like to thank my predecessor Prof. V.
Ramgopal Rao for his leadership to the Institute
during this difficult period. We are fortunate to
have had the benefits of the guidance and support
of Dr. R. Chidambaram, Chairperson, Board
of Governors to steer the Institute in the right
direction. The Ministry of Education has been a
keen support to the Institute and has helped us
at every junction. The Institute’s commitment,
be it excellence in academics or research,
is reflected in our awards of our faculty and
students’ recognition through the national and
international rankings, the excellent placements
of our graduates and the stellar achievements of
our alumni.
The 52nd Convocation of IIT Delhi was held on
13th November 2021. Ms. Padmasree Warrior,
Distinguished alumna of IIT Delhi and Founder,
President and CEO of Fable, was the Chief Guest.
IIT Delhi lays great emphasis on a strong and
vibrant relationship with its alumni. The Institute
is proud of its alumni and their achievements. Six
Distinguished Alumni Awards, one Distinguished
Alumni Service Award and four Graduates of
Last Decade (GOLD) Awards were conferred on
our alumni at this Convocation recognizing their
achievements and outstanding contributions
to academics, business, profession and/or
public service. The success of the alumni is
one of the most important yardsticks by which
we measure our achievements. The Alumni
are a very valuable resource for the Institute,
and increasingly, they have started to make
a difference to the way things are done at IIT
Delhi. The Alumni have directly contributed for
instituting Chair Professorships, Young Faculty
Incentive Fellowships and Student Awards
and even for Infrastructure Development. The
Institute has garnered excellent support for
its vision and mission from its Alumni during
the year.
IIT DELHI
The R&D Activities of IIT Delhi are spearheaded
and implemented by the Industrial Research
and Development Unit (IRD Unit). The IRD Unit
has initiated many programmes and schemes
to foster technology development for the
successful implementation of the ‘Make in India’
and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ schemes of the Hon’ble
Prime Minister of India, and to make India self-
sufficient in the development of high-impact
and affordable technologies while meeting
global standards, for societal benefits. In the
financial year 2021-22, a total of 632 sponsored
research projects and consultancy works, in
the cutting-edge research areas of National
and Global relevance have been undertaken by
IIT Delhi through the IRD Unit and Foundation
for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT)
IIT Delhi.
Our faculty members are among the finest in the
country and are recognized internationally for
their quality of research, teaching and curriculum
development. They also contribute greatly for the
development of the nation by being associated
with a large number of decision-making bodies,
providing crucial guidance and advice on policy
matters and technical issues. Our distinguished
faculty colleagues continue to make a difference
to the world of Science, Engineering, Humanities
and Management and continue to earn
recognitions and awards which bring glory to the
Institute. Many of them have been bestowed with
honors, awards and elected as Fellows of several
professional national and international bodies
during the last one year.
IIT DELHI
Major infrastructural development projects have
been undertaken to cater to the growing needs
of the Institute for hostels, academic blocks,
renovations, sports complex etc.
Institute has made noteworthy and commendable
improvement in its national and international
rankings which is due to multiple factors like
introduction of several interdisciplinary academic
programmes, collaborative joint-degree
programmes with international universities, etc.
More details of the various activities undertaken
and achievements of the Institute have been
presented in detail separately in the report.
We would like to acknowledge the support
received in abundant measure from the Ministry
of Education, the various sponsoring agencies,
the collaborating industries, institutions and
alumni. We also personally acknowledge the
support and encouragement we have received
from the Chairman and Members of the Board
of Governors, and from all our colleagues, and
extend our appreciation to the students for
their exemplary behavior and their contributions
towards enriching the campus life.
We look forward to working together with our
stakeholders to meet the Institute’s goals of
excellence in teaching and research and societal
impact.
Jai Hind !

 Academic Profile

The Institute offers undergraduate and postgraduate Evaluation

programmes in a number of areas leading to the degrees of
B.Tech., Joint PG Diploma, M.Sc., M.Tech., M.S.(R), M.Des.,
MBA, M.P.P., and Ph.D. in Science, Engineering & Technology,
Humanities & Social Sciences, Management, and Public
Policy. The Institute also offers PG Diploma (PG DIIT) in Naval
Construction for the Naval Officers. The primary objective
of these teaching programmes is to offer instruction at a
level comparable to the very best anywhere in the world.
This is achieved through an undergraduate curriculum,
which places a strong emphasis on the understanding of
fundamental principles as well as specialised knowledge at
the postgraduate level, distinguished by its interdisciplinary
approach and emphasis on research.
The academic year consists of two semesters and a
summer term. The education system is organised around
a credit system, which ensures continuous evaluation of
students’ performance. It provides flexibility to choose
courses of interest and to progress at an optimum pace
suited to a student’s ability or convenience. Each course is
assigned a certain number of credits depending upon the
class contact hours. A minimum number of credits and
CGPA are to be completed satisfactorily to qualify for the
award of a degree.
The medium of instruction is English.

Pedagogy Curriculum Development

Teaching at the Institute incorporates a cohesive, contextual,
and nurturing environment for learning. The emphasis is on
self-motivated learning by using information, experience,
and practice. The teaching methodology aims at using the
inputs from core functional areas to interdisciplinary issues
and problem solving. Students undertake classroom and
workshop assignments, conduct field observations, make
presentations, and participate in group discussions and
seminars and are encouraged to develop industry linkages,
where applicable.
The Senate of the Institute is constantly engaged in reviewing
and approving new courses to improve the curriculum at
the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Under a new
Academic Welfare Scheme introduced by the Institute for
weak students, a special student advisor is identified in
each department for students who need special help, at the
beginning of each semester. Extra classes are conducted
for such students and the student advisor closely monitors
the attendance and performance of these students.

All academic affairs of the Institute are managed by Board of Educational and Research Planning (BERP), Board of Academic
Programmes (BAP), and the Senate.

Board of Educational and Research Planning (BERP)

Board of Educational & Research Planning (BERP) is one of the Boards appointed by the Senate to carry out duties and
responsibilities such as formulation of educational policy at the Institute level, academic planning with regard to new activities
and review of existing Academic Units, general policy for the allocation of intra-IIT budget, and faculty development and
specialised training. The composition of the BERP as on March 31, 2022 is as follows:

 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

IIT Delhi follows the credit system of performance
evaluation, with proportional weighting of courses based
on their importance. The total marks (usually out of 100)
form the basis of grades, with a grade value (out of
10) assigned to a range of marks. Sometimes, relative
grading is done considering the overall performance of the
whole class.
2117 candidates awarded of various degrees and diplomas

For each semester, the students are graded on a scale of 0 to 10 based on their performance, by taking a weighted average of
the grade points from all the courses, with their respective credit points. Each semester evaluation is done independently and
then the weighted average over all semesters is used to calculate the cumulative grade point average (CGPA). The following
table gives the Discipline-wise break-up of CGPA for the two Academic Semesters:

TRAINING AND PLACEMENT

Career Services’ activities are guided by an Institute
Level Committee consisting of Faculty members and
students. The student committees, i.e. Central Committee
at the Institute level as well as Nucleus Committees at
departmental level, actively participated in the Training &
Placement activities.
Office of Career Services (OCS), IIT Delhi interacts with
various industrial, management and research organisations
in the country with the dual aim of ensuring that the
students are given adequate technical exposure / industrial
training (B.Tech., Dual and Integrated programmes, M.
Des and M.Sc. (Economics) and M.Sc. (Cognitive Science)
programmes). OCS also facilitates all students (B.Tech.,
Dual and Integrated programmes, M.Tech., M.S.(R), M.
Des., M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes) to get employment
in organisations whose functional requirements of high
calibre engineers, scientists and managers are best met by
graduate and post-graduate students of the Institute.
This year, the hiring processes were conducted in a
virtual mode. OCS facilitated these seamlessly and was
acknowledged by stakeholders for organising the processes
harmoniously.
As in previous years, web based placement services were
provided using the internal OCS server this year as well.
The students got all information on their desktop PCs /
laptops / mobiles, they applied on-line and could see the
progress of their application including the final results.
The companies too were issued user name and password
for accessing and short-listing CVs and uploading their
presentations and files. The analysis of the past training
and placement activities was presented to the students to
help them decide their future course of action. Constant
liaison with industries was maintained throughout the year
to ensure adequate placement and internship opportunities
for student across sectors.
OCS also organised an engagement program, “Pravritti”. The
theme for this year was “Reshaping Chances to Choices”.
This innovative initiative was geared to helping students
connect with and understand the culture of the company.
It attempted to not only allow students to comprehend
and compare different recruiters across sectors but also
help them understand and build their own capabilities via
competitions and workshops.
Training/Internship
A personal dialogue with top executives of a large number of
industries resulted in better understanding of their functional
requirements and training activities. This effort also helped
the OCS in the effective planning of summer practical
training for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year B.Tech./Dual degree/
Integrated M.Tech. students as well as M.Des. and M.Sc.
(Economics), M.Sc. (Cognitive Science) students, besides
obtaining a good number of stipends and other facilities
such as transport, accommodation, etc. DMS arranged
internships for their students at the departmental level.
Training rules as per the curriculum guidelines were
implemented for the UG students (B.Tech. and Dual
degree). Detailed instructions to students were also issued
prior to the commencement of the training programme. It
was also clarified to students that DPE norms would apply
for availing NGU credits for internships. A total of 729
students availed internships through OCS/DMS processes.
A gist of data regarding the summer practical training seats
obtained through OCS is given in Tables-I to II.

Faculty Profile and Achievements

The quality of an academic institution primarily depends
on its faculty. IIT Delhi faculty is one of the finest in the
country and is recognized internationally for their quality
of research, teaching and curriculum development. They
also contribute greatly for the development of the nation
by being associated with a large number of decision
making bodies, providing crucial guidance and advice
on policy matters and technical issues. Many of the
faculty members serve on the editorial Boards of reputed
journals, peer-review papers for publications, serve on
committees for recruitment of professionals, and are on
the boards of many institutions and organisations. 45 new
faculty members have joined the Institute this year, which
has enhanced our competence in several emerging areas,
while bringing new energy into our academic endeavours.
Recruitment of bright faculty members is one of the most
important missions, since therein lies the future of the
Institute. Board of Governors (BoG) has played a very
positive and constructive role in approving policies, which
empower the faculty to deliver their best in both teaching
and research. The Institute is continuously trying to reach
out to the potential faculty members through a variety of
means, including round-the-year search and recruitment
and online submission and processing of applications.

 FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (FITT)
Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT)
at IIT Delhi is among the foremost technology transfer
organisations in the country. The constantly evolving
relationship between industry and academia largely
determines FITT’s approach in shaping its outreach for
regional economic development. For three decades now,
FITT has been providing excellent programme management
services and steadily increasing its operational landscape.
The varied roles of FITT can be seen in enabling innovations
and technopreneurship, business partnerships, technology
development, consultancy, collaborative R&D, technology
commercialization, development programmes, corporate
memberships etc. These roles are necessitated by the
key agenda of the Foundation to showcase the Institute’s
“intellectual ware” to industry, and thereby unlock its
knowledgebase and inculcate industrial relevance in
teaching and research at IIT Delhi.
FITT is a DSIR approved Scientific and Industrial Research
Organization (SIRO) by virtue of its charter to implement
inter-alia, industrial R&D projects. During FY 2021-2022,
124 technology development and transfer projects worth
R29.64 crores have been contracted at FITT.
FITT facilitates and manages the intellectual property of
the Institute. FITT has facilitated over 1200 IP filings to
date. During the FY 2021-2022, 148 IP applications were
filed, and 11 technology transfer deals were signed. FITT
also engages with various corporates, industry bodies, and
other academic institutions to augment its outreach and
technology commercialisation efforts.
Besides enabling regular industry-academia meetings, FITT
organised a number of visits by IIT Delhi faculty to industrial
units to assess their R&D needs to initiate industry-
relevant R&D programmes at the Institute. FITT has been
instrumental in organising several visits by overseas
companies and delegations, enabling dialogue between the
visiting delegates and the academic community.
FITT entered into a license agreement with Pune-based SVR InfoTech
on March 7, 2022, for RoboAnalyser software, educational software
for learning robotics fun and effective.
IIT DELHI
Towards fostering innovation-led start-ups, FITT has
enabled the establishment and is operationalizing multiple
technology-focused incubators on the campus. The
Technology Business Incubation Unit at IIT Delhi started as
one of the earliest in the country and is now scaling up. The
new facilities for incubation are being set up in the Research
and Innovation Park. The DST supported NIDHI Center for
Excellence shall cater to startups working on technology-
driven hardware products with facilities for prototyping
and pilot-scale manufacturing. Similarly, expansion of
the Biotechnology Business incubation facility will enable
capacity for more startups along with better-equipped labs
to cater to their R&D needs.
The AIC IIT Delhi Sonipat Innovation Foundation, a Section
8 company, created by FITT and IIT Delhi at the I-TEC,
IIT Delhi Sonipat Campus, under the Atal Innovation
Mission (AIM) of the NITI AAYOG, has created an incubation
facility with over 10,000 sq. ft. of space and state-of-the-
art physical infrastructure, in terms of capital equipment
and operating facilities for start-ups.
During the last financial year, 52 start-ups were supported
by the incubator. These companies are working in the
technology domains of IT, Biotechnology, Engineering
design, Cleantech etc. Out of 150 companies/innovators
admitted so far in the incubator since its inception in the
year 2000, more than 90 companies have started their
up-scaling/commercial operation after completing their
incubation and are growing steadily. During the FY 2021-
2022, 12 start-ups have entered the incubator, and 7 have
graduated from the incubator.
FITT has been at the forefront in managing several innovation
and entrepreneurship programmes in the country. As
a nodal agency in several Government schemes, FITT
administers the “Technology Incubation and Development
of Entrepreneurs” (TIDE 2.0) programme of – the Ministry
of Electronics and Information Technology (MietY) – for
strengthening technology start-ups in selected areas of
national concern by leveraging emerging technologies.
FITT is also working with BIRAC and implementing multiple
programs to support start-ups and scientist entrepreneurs
from research institutions towards the commercialization
of research resultants by providing early-stage grants
for the development and maturation of their discoveries/
inventions into marketable products.
A. Under the NIDHI-Seed Support System (NIDHI-SSS)
programme of DST, introduced in 2017, FITT provides
funding to incubatee start-ups up to R1 crore. So far, 28
incubatees have been supported by seed funding to the
tune of R6.6 crores.
FIIT 93
B. FITT is implementing the Deferred Placement Policy
(DPP) offered by IIT Delhi for students who opt-out of
placement to incubate their start-up idea. A student
must opt for deferred placement in the final semester of
the pre-final year and is eligible to sit for placement after
two years if their start-up is not successful. Selected
innovative ideas are eligible for incubation at the TBIU. In
the year 2021-2022, six applicants have been shortlisted
under DPP.
C. Sona Comstar, in association with FITT, has launched the
Sona-Comstar-IIT Delhi Innovation Programme (SCIDIP)
for safe, clean and eco-friendly mobility. This is a CSR
initiative of Sona Comstar to support the development
of innovative solutions from startups in this area with
fund support of up to INR 80 lakhs as a grant-in-aid. Five
companies have availed of the fund so far.
D. In association with FITT, Power System Operations
Corporation Ltd (POSOCO) has been implementing the
POSOCO Power System Awards (PPSA) since 2013.
PPSA is a part of the CSR initiatives of POSOCO, which
aims to reward excellence in the area of power systems
and its related fields. During the 10th edition of this
award- PPSA-2021, 15 awardees were shortlisted in

generous support of an initial group of our Founder
Alumni, IIT Delhi has established its Endowment Fund
in 2019, to support the long-term financing of its future
aspirations.
The IIT Delhi Endowment Fund aims to provide
a balanced funding model for the Institute. Well-
established endowment funds of leading US Universities
are known to provide up to 30% of their operating
expenditures, allowing for stable long-term planning.
In the last 1 year, IIT Delhi Endowment has added 5
new founders to the “League of Founders”. Currently,
we have 18 Founders and 5 Co-Founders, who have
contributed ₹157 Crore, from a total commitment of
₹371 Crore.

endowed a Chair in Data Analytics. The goal
of setting up this Chair was to attract the best
researchers and practitioners in the area of
Data Analytics and Data Science, which
is fast becoming a key driver of business
productivity and economic growth.
Data Science continues to be an active
area of research at IIT Delhi. The amount of
data enterprise businesses are producing
is growing by 40 to 60% a year, and many
companies are facing challenges managing,
analyzing, and interpreting all that data so
they can enable solutions, support their data-
focused teams, and glean valuable business
insights.
Jaswinder’s mother, Dr. Tarvinder Kaur
Chadha was the first woman to get a Ph.D.
in Mathematics from IIT Delhi in 1968 and
Tarvinder and Jassi are the first parent-child
graduates of IIT Delhi. Dr. Tarvinder Kaur
had a distinguished career in academics
and is a widely recognized scholar in fluid
dynamics. She was, formerly, the Head of
the Mathematics Department and Dean
of Sciences at Guru Nanak Dev University,
Amritsar. This Chair in Data Analytics is
named after this accomplished mother-son
duo.
Jassi had also endowed a Chair in Operations
Research at IIT Delhi in 2008. He is proud to
be a “founder” of the IIT Delhi Endowment
Fund. In recognition of his achievements and
service to the Institute Jassi was awarded
Distinguished Alumni Service Award by IIT
Delhi in 2008.

Geotechnical Society.
Mr. Saurabh Mittal, while speaking of the two Chairs
endowed by him, said, “The impact that Professors have
on the lives of students during their IIT years goes beyond
the classroom. Diligence, persistence, and the pursuit of
excellence - all of which are hallmarks of any successful
person - are honed under the guidance and high standards of
our teachers. I have watched my parents (Dr. S.K. Mittal and
Mrs. Kusum Mittal) be similar beacons to their respective
students during their academic careers. I was motivated
to find a way to honour the teachers who not only shaped
my time during IIT Delhi but also my subsequent life and
career. Prof. Manoj Dutta and Prof. Visweswaran exemplify
the best of IIT Delhi in terms of dedication, excellence,
and selflessness. I certainly benefited immensely from
their guidance during my years, and it is my honour to be
able to endow Chairs in their names to support research
excellence in their specific domain.”

The year 2021-22 has been a mix of online and offline
trends due to ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. We at Student
Affairs, have adapted ourselves accordingly to many new
work ways and have been making consistent efforts so
that students can lead a balanced life in harmony with their
teachers, fellow students and family. This time, the freshers
did not join the campus like previous years at the beginning
of the semester. Academic sessions were started in an
online mode initially and gradually they joined the campus
(physically) according to the pace of pandemic. It was
ensured that they settle down in their new surroundings
comfortably by allowing re-boarding in a phased manner.
Online Freshers’ Orientation Programmes were organized
at the beginning of the academic session. Counselling
Service provided counselling to students on problems faced
due to the pandemic life and for those arising from financial
hardship, and emotional/psychological problems affecting
academic pursuits. Outside the classrooms, facilities for
a variety of co-curricular activities, online/offline events,
games, student publication etc. were provided, strictly
maintaining all Covid protocols. We also provided hardware
for online class support to needy students. More than 200
tablets and 400 4G dongles have been provided till date.
All activities done under Student Affairs are with the intent
of giving academic support and also encourage overall
growth and development of students’ personalities, helping
them realize their potential, and support their initiatives,
with an emphasis on responsible student leadership.
The pace and mode of student life on the campus is planned
and implemented by the following student bodies:
1. Student Affairs Council (SAC) and its five Boards:
(a) Board for Hostel Management (BHM)
(b) Board for Recreational & Creative Activities (BRCA)
(c) Board for Sports Activities (BSA)
(d) Board for Student Publications (BSP)
(e) Board for Student Welfare (BSW)

1. STUDENT AFFAIRS COUNCIL (SAC)
The Students Affairs Council remains active throughout
the year. SAC representatives convene regular meetings
to ensure that all facts of student issues are discussed.
The representatives interact with student members of
senate and other SAC committees for wider participation
of students in the affairs of the Institute.
In the year 2021-22, many student related issues were
attended to and resolved and new initiatives have been
taken. Some of these are mentioned below:
Indradhanu: Indradhanu is an LGBTQIA+ resource body
which was been working unofficially for long but was
not recognized. Proposal to get it recognized under SAC
(initially) and eventually move to Office of Diversity and
Inclusion was approved by Professor Rao (then Director).
Scholarship Portal: This portal is under development. It will
be a one-point stop where one can find scholarships they
are eligible for and apply for them. It would be run by CSC
in collaboration with the office of Academics and Student
Affairs and the new scholarships which are starting using
the endowment fund soon and will be listed on this portal.
The portal was approved and the development has to
be started by CSC while taking inputs for SAC and Dean
Academics.
Project Portal: The development of the Portal is complete.
The SAC team is working with Prof. Shantanu Roy (Dean
Academics) to get projects listed on the portal. The idea
of this portal is to encourage students to explore a
career in research by engaging in research projects under
professors, and thereby streamline the current procedure
by which students get projects thereby benefiting all
stakeholders.

Introducing Gender Neutrality in all the Constitutions: As
one of the premier Institutes of the country and having
students from diverse backgrounds, it is important for us
to avoid word choices which may be interpreted as biased,
discriminatory or demeaning by implying that one sex or
social gender is the norm. Therefore, we have resorted
to Gender-neutral drafting for the constitution of each
club/board. The constitutions have been updated and are
approved now.
Work done by various boards of SAC-
(a) Board for Hostel Management (BHM)
BHM is moving forward with a vision to set IIT Delhi on a
path of sustainability, to ensure good quality and hygienic
food in the hostels and providing a good work environment
to BHM staff.
Various major initiatives taken in this year are given here:
BHM Website: The official website of BHM got launched
in the month of March, 2022. The objective of the website
is to serve the needs of the student community as well as
non-IITD users.
The site reflects the ethos of the entire institute, not just
the Hostels. The BHM website gives a holistic overview of
all campus facilities, ranging from various hostel facilities
to other vital resources. The main page elaborates on the
student team structure and important contact information.
The website also has a separate notice section, where
students can find all the essential news.
The BHM website also links all the individual hostel
websites together. On each hostel’s website, one can find
a wholesome view of the hostel and an introduction to the
hostel, and a glimpse into its vision.
New BHM logo: The newly designed logo connects the
feeling of homelike warmth at IIT Delhi.
The element on the above portion signifies the Dogra Hall’s
iconic rooftop and hence perfectly signifies that BHM is an
indispensable part of IIT Delhi and depicts the position of
authority at IIT Delhi.
The ‘H’ element indicates the connection between various
hostels and represents how even when students reside in
different hostels, they are still connected and come under
a single roof.
118 STUDENT AFFAIRS
The red color signifies health, love, and care that are the
ultimate drivers of BHM. It resembles the logo of IIT Delhi,
giving a sense of connection.
The gray color signifies neutrality and balance among the
various branches of BHM and synergy between students,
ensuring peace and a good standard of living.
The final element rectangle below the logo signifies a
pedestal where everyone is treated in an egalitarian manner.
New hostels: IIT Delhi has built 3 new hostels with a total
capacity of 1200 single seated AC rooms. The hostels are:
Dronagiri, Saptagiri and Sahyadri. For the first time in IITD
history, co-ed accommodation is going to be introduced in
one of these hostels.
IoT-enabled Smart Laundry for an easier campus life:
Revolutionizing laundry, a first-of-its-kind, IoT-enabled
laundromat system from Haier Smart Laundry was
installed in each hostel which is specially designed for
college students. It offers unique features that ensure
a more convenient and economical in-campus washing
experience. These machines come with a clean design
with a user-friendly control panel. Moreover, it offers the
following features:
• Hygiene takes the front seat: Haier Smart Laundry
laundromats are loaded with a double sterilizing function.
Ozone sterilization and high temperature together
prevent cross pollution and bacteria transmission,
leading to healthier washing of clothes.
• Backed by Internet-of-Things (IoT): Fully automated,
each washing machine has the provision to be remotely
managed by students through the Mr. Hi App. They
can use their mobile phones to schedule, & pay at their
convenience.
• Auto-reminders and easy updates: Instead of walking
up to the washing machine, students can now easily get
an update with the push of a button on their phones. This
way they can keep a tab on their laundry while carrying
on with their work. They can also set easy reminders
regarding their washing schedule.
Centralized procurement of fresh produce & dry groceries:
A committee composed of mess managers, wardens,
and students negotiated with selected vendors like Safal,
Kendriya Bhandar, etc to avail a good discount rate in order
to ensure centralized procurement of goods for the hostel
mess rather than a two-step process of procurement going
through the mess. This led to an overall reduction in the
mess bill maintaining transparency in the supply chain and
reducing the logistical barrier.
Exemption to food recovery charges from Housekeeping
Staff: Considering the meager salary of the hostel daily wage
staff, it was concluded that food recovery charges would
IIT DELHI
be exempted for the daily wage workers and housekeeping
staff. This was approved and will be implemented in all the
hostels soon.
Restructuring of administration of hostel staff: Positions
of four hostel staff have been reduced to three for better
coordination. A new post of hall coordinator has been
introduced wherein caretaker and mess manager would
work under him for better addressability of issues inside
the hostels.
Hall Coordinator
Mess
Caretaker Manager
Initiatives to promote gender neutrality
• The position of housemaster has been changed to head
of the house.
• Other restrictions on entry and exit timings have been
removed equally for both boys and girls.
• The Constitution has been changed accordingly in
gender-neutral pronouns.
to pay their mess expenses on a monthly basis. They will be
able to choose for a mess of their choice among different
hostels which will offer different cuisines.
Robin Hood Army: Karakoram House proposed to
associate with The Robin Hood Army (RHA) for the purpose
of distributing leftover mess food to the less fortunate
elements of society, including homeless families, orphans,
patients from public hospitals, and residents of old age
homes.
The Robin Hood Army is a volunteer-based, zero-funds
organization, to end world hunger by cooperating with other
organizations in their mission #ZeroHunger globe.
The MoU between IIT Delhi and Robin Hood Army is under
progress. And the main motive of this MoU is to ensure no
food is wasted in the mess which is one of the very serious
issues on the campus, on the other hand, no one sleeps
hungry, especially destitute families, hospital patients along
with people who can’t afford one-time food every day.
Food Outlets around the Campus: A cluster approach has
been proposed wherein instead of every hostel having its
own eateries, single eateries will serve a cluster of hostels.
This will promote the intermingling of students and effective
space utilization.

BSP kick started the year with the new team recruitment
which began their tenure by analyzing the influx of a
great number of onboarding requests, and publishing the
Fresher’s Introductory Magazine ‘Inception’ and the PG
magazine ‘Genesis’.
BSP evolved from a print-only news organization to a
multimedia one by expanding its content and branching out
into video journalism. The team began their work online,
and were able to easily transition to a hybrid mode and
then to a completely offline mode by organizing in-person
interviews and assessing the campus from a first-person
perspective.
The team took note of the concerns that arose and
addressed them as quickly as possible, spreading the
word within the institute. The team started with the ‘Meet
the Gsecs and DGsecs’ series interviewing the incoming
General and Deputy General Secretaries of the Boards and
analyzing their manifestos and telling their vision to the
student community. BSP later did a midterm review of the
various promises done by the secretaries holding them
accountable to their work.
BSP also started biweekly newsletters ‘TL;DR’ which were
well received by the student community and became
popular as the one-place stop for all the general news
pertaining to the campus combined with other fun pieces.
Seeing the prevalence of sexual harassment within the
physical and virtual boundaries of the institute, BSP did a
two-part series named ‘Pain’ documenting the stories of the
victims and the deep-rooted problems inside the campus.
Continuing with the publication of the Inquirer magazines,
BSP published the October and January edition. The focus
was on the new normal in the campus and the vaccine scene
in the October edition and the Covid variants, vernacular
teaching, people with special needs and the sophomore
survey in the January edition. As Professor Rao’s tenure
as the director came to an end, BSP presented him with
a memento card, a collection of some pivotal statements
made by him in the past six years, as a small token of
gratitude.
BSP later conducted a campus-wide survey for the
problems and issues which the student community wanted
the new director, Prof. Rangan Banerjee, to take note of. The
team interviewed the new director and asked him his views
on the issues and his vision for the institute.
BSP conducted its flagship ‘The Bluffington Post’
competition, the ‘Gazettale’ competition and the ‘Comicraze’
competition which saw campus wide participation. A
workshop on Magazine design was also conducted along

to ease the doubt-clearing process. Also, there was one
Piazza discussion forum per course for every cluster and
it was directly accessible from MS Teams, thus ensuring
that all academic mentorship related activities were in
one place. Different mentors were allotted to manage
Piazza each week and clear the pending doubts.
• Revision Sessions: As we already know that revisions
are of paramount importance before the examinations,
therefore building upon this, the academic mentors took
revision sessions before each Minor and Major. This
also ensured that students don’t face any problems
nearing their examinations.
• Question Paper Directory: Another initiative of academic
mentorship, the BSW question paper directory was made
to be up-to-date. It was made sure that all the question
papers were regularly uploaded to the directory on the
website with the help of BSW representatives and CAIC
conveners.
• Introductory Sessions: Another initiative that was
taken under academic mentorship was the introductory
sessions of individual courses. These were organized
during the first week of the semester to make the
students comfortable with their courses by providing
them with an overview of the course, suggesting
reference books, conveying to them the approach
to follow (i.e., some tips and tricks) while giving the
examinations and how could they make the most out of
a particular course.
• Remedial Sessions: A new initiative that was taken
under Academic Mentorship was the Remedial Sessions
for various students. In this initiative, Academic Mentors
were asked which of their mentees were facing a lot of
difficulties academic-wise. Then we allotted academic
mentors to these students for the courses they faced
difficulty in. This helped the students by leaps and
STUDENT AFFAIRS 125
 bounds as they could clear their doubts with their
Academic mentors on a personal level and overcome
their difficulties.
Language Mentorship:
• Revamped Course Curriculum: In contrast to our
previous model, we altered the course structure to make
it more relevant to our college. Writing emails (which
is relevant for internships, jobs, and projects), essay
writing (which is required for university applications and
scholarships), and putting together a presentation are
some of the topics covered.
• British Council: Mentorship programme will now
include the British Council curriculum, which has been
completed and is ready to be implemented. The mentees
will benefit from the improved English language learning
as well as the more structured approach provided by the
mentors.
• Competitive events: Competitive events have been
planned in order to keep people entertained. This will be
useful in evaluating both the mentors and the mentees
in the future. The winners will each receive a prize in
accordance with their achievements.
• Student Language Mentorship: Students were asked to
complete a questionnaire to assess their current level
of language proficiency, after which the appropriate
mentors were matched with the mentee. It was decided
who would be the mentors through a two-tiered selection
process. Mentors were assigned to mentees based on
the skill level of the mentors assigned to them.
• Hindi mentorship: An initiative aimed at people who
do not speak Hindi. Mentors were asked to show
mentees appropriate movies and guide them through
the process of understanding and learning Hindi in
a fun and interactive way. Instead of concentrating
on Hindi grammar, we concentrated on Hindi that will
assist them in communicating in their everyday lives.
Training in dialogue writing and casual chatting has
been implemented in order for them to be prepared for
college life.
Operations under BSW:
• Forex ke Fundae: for guiding students aiming for a
foreign exchange, various seniors who got selected

process including SoP writing, ECAs, Scholastic
achievements description, etc. The event witnessed the
participation of 120+ students.

approached final year students from each department
who were doing great academically and asked them to
describe the programs offered at IIT Delhi based on their
experience here.
• Camps: To ease the process of getting beddings and
basic stuffs while students are coming to an entirely
new place for the first time, contact was made with
vendors and stalls were set up at subsidized rates. The
stalls were set up near the Boys as well as Girls hostels
for the convenience of all the students. This benefited
students significantly since they gained access to
affordable necessities on campus.
• Foreign intern ke fundae: Various seniors who got
selected for such foreign research programs were
invited and guided the current sophomores about such
research opportunities in various domains and the
emailing process (CV, Cover Letters, etc.). Students

of foreign internships after their second year. The event
witnessed the participation of 200+ students.
• Rep Training: To act as a source of professional
training for representatives, to help them develop
effective questioning techniques and to deliver more
effective answers, trainings were planned. For this,
Mr. Lekh Bajaj led an interactive session with the
representatives during which they collaborated,
brainstormed, and gained a better understanding of the
job of a BSW representative. They saw the outcomes
of the efficient questioning style and developed a more
focused understanding of their position as a BSW
representative.
• Discord server: To act as a trusted source of information
on the admission process to IIT that is not otherwise
accessible in the online mode, the thought of server
was worked on. The server acted as a conduit between
the freshers and the BSW, allowing us to assist them.
IIT DELHI
 We dispelled any misconceptions and simplified the
procedure for them. Additionally, it enabled students
to connect with one another and discuss the common

• Impact: Professors and students attended the event
and learned about various difficulties faced by specially-
abled people on a daily basis.
• Searching and compiling accommodations for PG
Students: Inconvenience was caused to the PG students
who could not be accommodated in the campus.
Representatives from BSW went to different areas near
IIT and talked to PG owners who lived near the campus.
They gathered information about rents, room sizes, and
other important things. These facts were told to the PG
students who were interested in them. This made the
process of finding accommodation very convenient for
the PG students.
• Gender Sensitization Workshop: In cooperation with
the Initiative for Gender Equity and Sensitization (IGES),
this workshop was held for all student boards. Gender
as a social construct, Gender Positions, Masculinity,
Patriarchy, and Gender Stereotypes were amongst the
many topics covered in these three-hour sessions.
• Panel Discussion on Patriarchy and Capitalism: A panel
IIT DELHI
discussion session was held online in collaboration with
Pink Legal Amazons, LSR on the topic of “Patriarchy and
Capitalism”. It was chaired by three eminent dignitaries
working in the law and order industry to share insights
on the possible interconnections between patriarchy

Mental Health
• Counselling Website: A New Counselling website was
launched which now provides online appointment
booking. It also provides a portal to ‘help a friend’ by
reporting about someone in distress. It has an additional
feature to explore YourDOST, an online counseling and
emotional support platform to foster mental wellness, it
also provides a mental health test curated by yourDOST.
Usually, people find their problems small and avoid
taking professional help. So, we created a new webpage
for stress management tips and better management of
their academics besides featuring the contact details of
the counsellors, the website also contains a feedback
column through which we keep collating user feedback
and update our services in this domain.
• Gatekeeper training: This session was organized in two
parts, for students mentors as well as for professors
This was a suicide prevention workshop organized in
collaboration with Suicide Prevention India Foundation
(SPIF), which aims to reduce suicides by incorporating
the most researched evidence-based interventions
that follow globally accepted best practices and
creating an atmosphere centered on helping faculty
identify their peers’ needs, and break down the barriers
of hesitation in their conversations with other faculty as
well as students.
The training also included a certificate from QPR
Institute and SPIF, E-book by Paul Quinnett along with a

interactive, activity-based offline event conducted by a
yourDOST psychologist.
• World Mental Health Day: When college life was
returning to hybrid mode, a lot of students were
onboarding during September-October’21 and facing
a lot of hustle and mental unrest. We addressed the
World Mental Health Day with our physical presence
near Wind-T. Our members gained the passersby
STUDENT AFFAIRS 127
 attention and talked to them about the importance of
mental health and the need to address each other’s
mental states as well. We placed “What makes you
happy?” boards near Wind-T where the passersby could
write their happiness’ reasons on sticky notes and stick
them onto the boards. A lot of people came forward to
introspect and write about their happiness and resonate
with each other’s’ little things.
• Peer support group sessions: We conducted discussion
sessions so as to provide a platform for the IITD
students to address various mental health and related
issues. Peer Support Group Sessions provided students
with peers whom they can socialize with and a safety
net to rely on when they are feeling low. Solutions were
provided on pre-decided topics for discussions. This
provided the students a safe place to come together
to express feelings and comfort each other without
fear of being judged and we also get a confidentiality
form signed so no information from the session can be
discussed after the session.
• Session with counsellors: We assigned CS counsellors
to each hostel cluster to make students aware of the
resources accessible to them. Frequently, individuals
are uneasy with expressing their concerns to anyone,
and visiting professionals appears to be an unnecessary
hassle. As a result, a CS session was scheduled.
Counselors were organized for each hostel, and they
discuss mental health, as well as instructions on how
to utilize the CS services. The turnout in those sessions
was fairly nice and students got clarification of their
doubts and felt free to ask the questions.
• Unfiltered - Talk series: A series of posts were uploaded
on our social media handles where students could voice
their concerns and talk about their hardships with the
option of anonymity. The stories of various students and
experts who overcame countless challenges provided
inspiration and courage to confront any situation with
an optimistic mindset.
• Intern diaries series: A comic strip series was posted on
social media handles comforting the students sitting for
internship. It was emphasized to take this as a journey
full of learning and growth. It portrayed the need to relax
and connect with friends, mentors, or family and talk
about inner feelings. This engaged and calmed a lot of
3rd-year students particularly as they felt that this is
actually normal and finally being addressed.
• Student support team: We introduced the Student
Support Team. The representatives in this team (one
for each hostel) are trained and certified Gatekeepers by
Suicide Prevention India Foundation (SPIF is a Section 8
non-profit and has a tie-up with QPR Institute, the world
128 STUDENT AFFAIRS
leader in suicide prevention training.) Students can
reach out to any of these representatives in case of any
issue that they feel is affecting their mental health. Their
problems and details will remain confidential. These
representatives will act as a bridge between them and
the professional counselors.

open & interactive discussion about self-care, building
awareness about suicide, preventive measures, buddy

address the issue so creatively.
