Dear Freshies,

Heartiest congratulations on making it into one of the most prestigious educational

institutions in the world. All the sleepless nights, restless days, incessant cramping, and
solving have all led to your entrance into this (assured) beautiful phase in your life. Like
many others that have come before you, there is an uncertainty that looms over which
keeps seeking a definite end goal/ final product. Here, we would like to reiterate that IIT
Madras is one of the holistic institutions that provides extensive exposure to the world
of academics, sports, and cultures, among several others. Thus, enabling you a
chance for each one of you to identify your true interests and passion and pursue the
same. The various activities and occasions associated with the institute not only aim
to bring the dormant skills of the students to the surface but also to train and let them
experience organizational and leadership attributes. In addition, IIT Madras provides
an environment that encourages each one to shape their lives and excel in every path
that they choose. While the experience might be subjective, arising from the decisions
one makes, the larger picture, in the end, will always be a beautiful one.

Welcome to the family!

Ajay Singh Sitole

Students General Secretary

 Saathi
Saathi is an initiative of IIT Madras to guide you through your days here. As
the name suggests, it is a body of senior student pals and friendly faculty
who will always be willing to help you in any matter. Its objectives include
achieving overall well-being of the entire student community by equipping
and enhancing the all-round skills needed to succeed on campus and in
life. For e.g., a programme aimed solely on improving english language skills
named ‘English Minglish’ was launched previously whereby students
comfortable only in their vernacular language could converse in English.

The other important objective of Saathi is to break the stigma around

various issues regarding mental health. You will be introduced to a Student
Mentorship Cell SMC mentor, a responsible senior student, who will meet you
soon after your arrival at IIT Madras.

Besides being your first friend on campus, your mentor can clarify your
doubts related to various aspects of institute life. We wish that you have the
most wonderful and fruitful years of your life in the institute and hope that
you scale great heights in your career.
Student Mentorship Cell

One of the first connections that you as a freshie will make with the IIT

Madras is through the mentors that you meet through the Student

Mentorship Cell. The mentors are senior students who will be the first

contacts on the campus designated to ensure a smooth transition into

the institute life. The mentors are available and enthusiastic to answer

any doubts that freshers might have with regard to acads, co-

curriculars, opportunities in and around the campus of even life through

IITM. SMC has been integrated with Saathi in the last couple of years who

together conduct Freshers' initiation and immersion program. A good

thumb rule around whenever you find yourself in a puddle of confusion is

to reach out to your mentors. (Well, they have been in the same place as

you and will only be glad to help).

 MITR
MiTr is a reactive body of students and faculties under the DOST office,
who believe that no one should be unattended when in emotional
distress. It bridges the gap between the student community and the
wellness centre and works for the holistic well-being of the students. The
objective of MiTr is to be there for students facing academic,
extracurricular, personal, or any problems that might have a negative
effect on the student’s overall well-being. One can always seek help and
guidance from any student MiTr, irrespective of the department and
hostel, if you are going through any difficulty.

Moving away from the comforts of your home and village into a
metropolitan city, interacting with many people, and making new friends,
provide you with many new experiences. The journey thus entailed will
bring in challenges of its own. While sailing through these ups and downs
of Insti life, MiTr is always at your aid, no matter what. We, MiTr, are a team
of 40 empathetic, confidential and trained students available throughout
the year.

 An Introduction to Smail

S-Mail, or Student Email, is the primary mode of official communication

between the institute administration, faculty and students. In your SMail

account, you will receive details of every kind of relevant event, news or

update related to the institute and pertinent to you. These can include

announcements about new courses, warnings about caring for the wildlife,

reminders for concert dates or lecture schedules, details of competitions,

offers or discounts as an IITM student, official circulars and

announcements, course registrations, workshops, and much, much more.

Smail ID will also help you avail academic discounts and access to

databases of research papers. As a student of the institute, one of the first

things you will be provided with is an Smail ID. The format usually goes

<rollnumber>@smail.iitm.ac.in. Your institute roll number, consisting of 8

characters, will uniquely identify you through your department, year of

enrolment, program and class roll number. Many students regard SMail as

spam because of the sheer volume of emails, but it is well worth your time

to read your mail regularly, especially in your first year, to avoid missing out

on anything.

Disaster Management Committee

(DMC)
Founded in 2012, the Disaster Management Committee(DMC) in IIT Madras
is a student-run body under Student General Secretary

presided over by the Dean of Students (DoSt) working to make sure that our
campus is completely disaster-resistant, as well as equip students to deal
with emergencies.

We conduct various events throughout the year; some of our signature

activities include Hostel fire drills, emergency medical care workshops,
[events], and Disaster relief collection drives.

Over ten years, DMC has been able to empower thousands of students and
campus residents through these initiatives. This is made possible only by its
dynamic and diverse team, which comprises Core members, Super-
coordinators for different verticals, and its Coordinators.

DMC continuously looks forward to improving its reach and expanding its
functions within and outside the institute by engaging enthusiastic and
compelling people to contribute towards creating a safer environment in
Insti.

 IViL - IIT For Villages

India and thereby frame solutions through our projects.

Any student from IITM can volunteer for IViL. There is no selection process to
join IViL. Students can simply attend meetings and share ideas & insights to
contribute.

 EML (Extra Mural Lectures)

As a child, we admire; as adolescents, we aspire; as adults we perspire; and
as responsible, successful citizens, we inspire. It is this inspiration that one
gets in these lectures. One cannot achieve big without listening to people
who have done it before. It is as they say; we shall not live long enough to
learn from our own mistakes. We shall have to learn from others’ too.

The Extra Mural Lectures in IITM, cover diverse topics, and bring in people
from across the globe; those people, who have been pioneers and who have
received the highest honours in their fields.

Where else do you get to interact with people so knowledgeable, so

experienced and so successful?

The faces that you see on a television screen are brought before you to talk.
These lectures unfold tales of unfathomable perseverance and unmatched
genius. It is said that we cannot discover new continents with the fear of
losing sight of the shore. We provide you the tale of those conquests.

Shaastra—the Sanskrit word for science—is a celebration of free thought

and a devotion to the engineering spirit. It offers the chance to get a

glimpse of the most cutting-edge technology that is currently popular all

over the world and is a melting pot of several scientific disciplines.

For the organizers and participants from various technical, scientific, and

management backgrounds, Shaastra has always been a very beneficial

learning experience. There is something for everyone, from schoolchildren

to university grads, academics to businesspeople, and engineers to

entrepreneurs. People who aren't ardent technophiles can benefit from

Shaastra as well. The fact that Drone Wars, Laser Shows, Fireworks displays,

and other events are regularly included in Shows and Exhibitions shows that

one need not always be an expert to appreciate what science is capable of.

Intense competitions, lectures, and a variety of educational courses

provided by Shaastra provide a stage for participants to demonstrate their

knowledge and enthusiasm. Watch out for competitions that put

contestants' mettle to the absolute limit, such as Fire and Ice, Shaastra

Junior Quiz, RoboWars, BrandWars, Hackathons, and others.

 E-cell

Have you ever questioned why college students quit lucrative positions

with global corporations to pursue entrepreneurship instead? The campus

of IIT Madras is currently seeing a trend encouraging entrepreneurs.

Every person, including you, is capable of having an entrepreneurial

mindset, in our opinion. E-Cell (formerly known as C-TIDES) was founded in

1998 with the purpose of promoting the entrepreneurial spirit, giving people

the correct advice, supporting companies within the institute, and

launching future leaders into a field where they can effect change and, in

turn, benefits society as a whole.

The Entrepreneurship Cell has developed as a cornerstone of the thriving

startup culture at IIT Madras. The Insti startup culture is one long,

captivating tale of change. E-Cell collaborates closely with the Centre for

Innovation (CFI), the Pre-Incubation Cell - Nirmaan, and the Incubation Cell

to make the entrepreneurial journey of individuals and startups more

comfortable. By doing this, they are able to inspire the spirit of

entrepreneurship among other nascent but anxious ideators. By planning

conferences, social events, lectures, speaker engagements, and

workshops, we hope to unleash the students' hidden creative potential.

 CFI (Center For Innovation)
The Centre for Innovation (CFI) was established on the premise that
innovation emerges through community interaction and the
freedom to learn and experiment. Constituted in 2008, with the help
of funds raised by the class of 1981, this unique 24/7 student lab is
located at the New Academic Complex in the heart of campus. After
almost a decade of the team's zeal and passion, combined with a
comprehensive inventory, ample workspace, guidance from faculty
and students, CFI is a house to 13 clubs, 4 competition teams and
counting. These clubs' interests are spread over a wide spectrum
primarily fostering innovation and invention in technology, with a
focus on technologies aimed at contributing positively to the
environment and to the society. The team frequently represents IIT
Madras in national and international competitions. It also constitutes
an integral part of IIT Madras' entrepreneurial culture, with many CFI
projects turning into startups.

 Inter IIT Tech Meet

When there is an inter-IIT meet for sports and culturals why not for tech
enthusiasts? Inter IIT tech meet is for the big brains of the country to
showcase their talent and raise the name of the institution they come
from. which usually happens in the even semester and is hosted by
anyone of the participating IITs. The first version was in 2013 and the
10th tech meet happened at IIT Kharagpur in March 2022. Tech meet
gives you a chance to meet the most brilliant tech enthusiasts in the
country and explore the projects. The events give you a chance to
initiate, interact and innovate. initiatives. It helps in fostering the spirit
of innovation and igniting young minds towards a more
technologically and economically viable future. It sets an ideal
platform for collaboration among the students to create impactful
technology and knowledge transfer across the student community.
 Nirmaan
Nirmaan, The Pre-incubator, IIT Madras, aims to provide the experience of
Entrepreneurship to the student community. NIRMAAN acts as a sandbox for
aspiring entrepreneurs of IIT Madras to practice the highs and lows of
entrepreneurship with a deferred placement. We strive to offer our students
a firsthand experience of what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

It acts as a conduit between the students at the institute and the IIT Madras
Research Park's Incubation Cell, encouraging them to think beyond
internships and develop their creative endeavors into profitable businesses
by providing them with collaborative workspace, mentorship, daily
assistance, and much more. Currently, Nirmaan has over 125 startups, 44 of
which are in the active stage and 19 of which have developed as successful
firms.

 Tech Soc
Very simply put, Tech-Soc was first born as a tournament where hostels
could compete against each other in all tech-related events for points,
power and glory. Tech-Soc was born very recently in 2005 and has since
grown steadily, adding events to its repertoire every year. Together with
Schroeter and Lit Soc, it forms the three independent “Big” trophies that
hostels battle for every year. Tech Soc is being re-envisioned as a forum
with a much wider reach than just inter-hostel events. It has now become
the umbrella under which all tech-related student initiatives will be
encouraged and nurtured. In the odd semester, various informal sessions
like “Fundae” and Tech interaction sessions will also be organized so that
the freshmen can learn about the tech world they are about to enter. Apart
from these,one can join various clubs related to the technical world.

We always have something or the other thing going on for the tech-savvy.

You get to dirty your hands and build stuff on your own or participate in
tech quizzes or watch the spectacle as the different hostels battle it out in
tech soc.

 Inter IIT Sports

A General Championship (GC) is awarded to the team with the best performance

in both the events. The seven old IITs take turns, hosting the Meet in all splendor.

This fierce competition for pride, prestige and glory, equally embraces a great spirit

of sportsmanship, which mark these moments as the most cherishing memories of an

IITian's life. The Meet is perhaps the only event, which provides an opportunity to meet

and interact with students from the other IITs.IIT Madras has had its major share of
glory, excelling continually at these games and winning the General Championship
(GC) eleven times in a row in the past. With over 19 wins in 51 Inter IIT Sports Meets so

Ragging must be a word that is bothering you at the back of your mind. Well,
at the outset, let us inform you that the practice of ragging is not condoned
by the institute in any form. If you have any problems regarding this, please
feel free to contact your SMC mentor or the hostel warden. Do not let this word
alarm you. All you may have would be a small chat with a group of seniors,
who would crack a joke or two, with the intention of easing the air around and
to break the ice. This friendly conversation has always ended up in leaving
both the parties close to each other. For the seniors it is the time to get rid of
unwanted books. For the juniors it is an hour or two well spent getting to know
the ropes. Nothing more, nothing less. We empathize in case you feel
uncomfortable and are always free to let them know or leave the place. Also
please let your mentor know if someone is not abiding by the above.

Gender Sensation
Sincere efforts have been made to ensure gender equality on campus. Just
as the Government of India has devised many legal provisions to ensure the
safety and dignity of all genders, IIT Madras too, earnestly strives to create an
environment of freedom, autonomy and privacy with the help of its students,
faculty and staff. People of all genders on campus are entitled to all legal and
fundamental rights and a safe, dignified and conducive environment where
they can be trained for their professional careers and to realize their full
potential as individuals. While many measures are taken to ensure safety on
campus, it’s possible to face gender-based discrimination everywhere, and
we at IITM recognise that the first step is to speak openly about such issues.
As such, it is everyone’s duty to be aware of the rules and rights in such a
scenario. Sexual harassment is NOT tolerated on campus, and every
individual must be careful about not indulging in such behaviour.

Any unwelcome sexually determined behaviour by any person either

individually or in association with other persons or by any person in
authority whether directly or by implication such as

Sexual heckling, forced and/or abusive proposition

Unwelcome sexual overtures over electronic media
Groping, touching or brushing against any part of the body and the
like
Displaying pornographic or other offensive or sexually coloured
derogatory pictures, cartoons, pamphlets or sayings in public places
Exposure of genitalia in public/work spaces
Forcible physical touch or molestation
Physical confinement against one’s will and any other act violating
one’s privacy, such as stalking and voyeurism (as defined by the 2013
amendments)
Virtual online harassment
Any other unwelcome physical, verbal or nonverbal conduct of a
sexual nature, as the case may be.

The following acts, given the context, may also be considered as sexual
harassment if connected with any sexual behaviour :

Implied or explicit promise of preferential treatment in employment

(this includes places of learning and research)
Implied or explicit threat of detrimental treatment in employment
Implied or explicit threat about their present or future employment
statu
Interference with the complainant’s work or creating an intimidating,
hostile or offensive work environment
Humiliating treatment likely to affect the complainant’s health or
safety.

To promote gender equality and to provide redress to victims of sexual

harassment, IITM has two bodies, the Women’s Forum and the
Complaints Committee Against Sexual Harassment (CCASH).

Take proactive measures towards sensitization of the staff, students

and faculty members of IIT Madras on gender issues. In case of any such
incident, you can approach:

CCASH Chairperson/Members

Direct email: ccash@iitm.ac.in

Faculty advisor

Head of the Department

Hostel Warden

Chief Security Officer

Dean (Students)

Women’s Forum

Preethi Aghalayam, the Women’s Forum with female faculty as members,

works with CCASH to provide gender sensitisation and awareness
through talks, events, discussions, etc.

Insti Lingo
A few minutes into the campus, you will encounter students conversing
among themselves in a tongue which comes across as plain gibberish.
Welcome to IIT Madras! The IIT Madras lingo has words extending beyond
the realm of the bulkiest Oxford Dictionary or the most exhaustive
Websters. Students at IITM, over the years, have developed their own
indigenous vocabulary which symbolizes the two traits of an IITian
demarcating him from the average guy next door: Creativity and Brevity.
In this age of time management gurus and their techniques, our lingo
stands out as a wonderful example of concision. Infact, there is a thesis
written on the lingo used at IIT Madras. (We kid you not!) For more on Insti
lingo, look out for T5E’s web series dedicated to freshies! Or check it out
on Mitr App.
CCASH
Curriculum, Electives & Minors
At IIT Madras, students have the freedom to select 50% of their
course offerings. This includes the option of spending the entire
semester studying abroad and pursuing electives from any
department.

Even among the IITs, Indian Institute of Technology Madras boasts

one of the greatest academic curriculum available and provides
unparalleled academic flexibility. The Ministry of Education,
Government of India, has given IIT Madras the remarkable
distinction of being the only Indian Institute to have been ranked as
the No. 1 Engineering Institution for five consecutive years.

In IIT Madras, students have the freedom to choose nearly 50 per

cent of the courses that they will be studying, with only some
restrictions. Out of the electives, students are free to choose about
eight courses (called 'Free Electives') from any of the 16
departments of IIT Madras as well as other approved institutions.
The students can get 72 credits from pursuing courses as diverse
as 'History of India,' 'Psychology' and 'Economics' to 'Artificial
intelligence' and 'Machine Learning.'

How to choose courses in IITs?

If a student chooses four such courses in one contiguous area, they

will be conferred a minor in that field. For example, if a student
chooses four courses in Economics, IIT Madras will confer a Minor in
Economics to that student. There are large number of minor
courses being offered by IIT Madras.

The detailed curriculum and syllabus for each programme can be

found here

 Academics
Honours Programme
To obtain an honours degree, students will have to maintain a CPA
greater than or equal To 8.5, complete a 27 credit project{wherein one is
expected to put in 27 hours of work every week throughout the 16-week
semester) and earn at least 18 of the free elective credits in their parent
department. The programme, however, is open to only BTech and Dual
Degree students.

Academic Schedule
The working hours of the Institute are between 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM on
weekdays, with an hour&#39;s usually break at 12 PM for lunch. Each class
hour, or &#39;slot&#39; (named according to the pattern of teaching
hours of courses offered over a week), consists of 50 minutes allotted for
the lecture and 10 minutes left free to move from class to class, grab a
quick bite, or just relax. Usually, a couple of slots will be left free every day,
which doesn&#39; make it a day of continuous classes. Please refer to
the Institute Timetable for a better understanding of the slots.

 Medals and Awards

Nearly all B.Tech. and M.Tech. fields at IIT Madras provide honours and
incentives to eligible candidates. The prizes embrace both extracurricular
and academic pursuits. Many of the honours and prizes are gifts from
organisations and people.

Awards for students are given out on Convocation Day, Institute Day, and
Alumni Nite, respectively. The list of recent award recipients and the prizes/
awards given to them may be found below.

 Hostels
The hostels are located sufficiently far from the departments. There are
around 21 hostels, out of which five are girls’ hostels and all are named
after various Indian rivers. In order not to disturb the greenery and to
maintain the ecological balance, though we have a vast campus with
places spread out, students are not allowed to drive powered vehicles on
the campus. They can only use bicycles or walk. The institute operates
buses and vans main gate to different parts of the campus and around
Hostel and Academic zones at frequent intervals for easy travel. The first-
year undergraduate students will be accommodated in a double/triple
occupancy style accommodation; in subsequent years single rooms are
allotted. PG students are given single rooms. Internet and Local Area
Network (LAN) facilities are provided in every room and there is a
computer room in the hostels as well. You will also be given an email
account on the institute server.

It is expected that the residents of the hostels shall follow the rules and
regulations, violation of which will lead to appropriate disciplinary action.
A copy of the rules and regulations document is available at https://
cw.iitm.ac.in/ . Please go through this important document carefully,
especially the code of conduct.

 SAC
Students' Activity Center is a
top player in the category
student Activities in the IIT
Madras.

From regular badminton ,

cultural activities, co-
curricular activities are the
biggest crown holding
events that happens here
with the capacity of more
than 3000+.
Student Governance @ IITM
In India, there are very few colleges that offer a supportive environment
where students can express their concerns and thoughts. But IIT Madras is
distinct from other universities. The respect accorded to student voices,
which has been codified in the form of the Students Constitution, is one
distinct feature of our institute that distinguishes it from other colleges. An
outline of student governance in general, including its elements and roles,
is provided here.
Student Legislative Council & Executive Council

The student legislative council is also tasked with assisting the offices of the
deans of students, academic courses, academic research, and
international & alumni affairs in running day-to-day student matters
through the Executive council. The Student Governance process of our
Institute is most prominently represented by the Executive Wing, which is
made up of student representatives who are directly elected by the General
Student Body.

These are the executive positions:

The Student General Secretary
The Hostel Affaris Secretary
The Sports Secretary
The Co-curricular Affairs Secretary
The Academic Affairs Secretary
The Research Affairs Secretary
The International and Alumni Affairs Secretary
The Cultural Affairs Secretary (Literary)
The Cultural Affairs Secretary (Arts)

10. Speaker, Student Legislative Committee

The Student Legislative Council elects a Speaker who preside over

meetings, oversees the day-to-day operations of the Student Legislative
Council, and serves as a liaison between the Student Legislative Council and
the Executive Wing in addition to these nine secretary members.

The Department Council

The centres of our institute's life are its departments, which rank
among the most vital. Some of the most significant events in a
student's life, such as freshmen orientation and placements, are
handled by our departments. Each department chooses a group of
student representatives to help with these activities. As follows:

Department Legislator

2. Research Councillor

3. Research Legislator

And few departments also have department associations, and

department secretaries are chosen or elected to organise
Department Fests.

The Hostel Council

Every hostel has a unique need, and each one requires students to
manage its daily operations. Every hostel elects student
representatives to oversee various elements of dorm life for this
reason. The Hostel council is made up of these student delegates,
the Hostel warden, and the Assistant Warder. The following
individuals represent students on the hostel council:

Hostel General Secretary

Hostel Legislator
Sports Legislator
Social Secretary
Literary Secretary
Technical Affairs Secretarty
Health and Hygine Secretary
 The Fifth Estate
T5E, or The Fifth Estate, is IIT Madras’s official campus news and
media body. Established relatively recently in 2009, T5E is
responsible for reporting on campus events and activities and also
bringing out content on a wide range of issues relevant to the IIT
Madras community, be it students (prospective or current), parents,
faculty or staff. In the last few years, T5E has expanded drastically in
terms of outreach and content, and made a name for itself in the
institute. One of its main distinguishing features is that it remains
neutral and unbiased both in its coverage and internal functioning,
having prided itself on working in a transparent and accountable
manner.

In 2002, The Fourth Estate or TFE came into being to bring together
the institute’s literary talents on a common platform to write about
institute events and activities. This institute magazine covered
essays, opinion pieces, news and fiction. Published and circulated in
the form of hard copies, the magazine made for a really fun read and
was mandated as an institute body under SAC and funded by the Dean
of Students
 A Guide to mess
Food is usually a major problem during the hostel life but IITM provides
quality food through its three messes. Messes in the insti are named after
different mountain ranges in India namely Himayala, Nilgiri and Vindhya.
Himalaya as the name suggest is the biggest mess with three floors. With
a food court on the ground floor. The lawns of Himalaya host fun events
usually hosted by clubs and it is a perfect spot to chill with friends at night.
There are North, and South messes and food court available and students
can choose their desired mess through the mess registration. If you get
bored of one mess you have the option to switch the mess every month.
You can access the menu and timings in the qr code here.

 Places of Worship
Numerous houses of worship are among the many amenities
that nearly all students might possibly need to be scattered
around the lush IIT Madras campus.

On campus, there are three temples:

The Shree Durga Peeli Amman Temple (Processions take place

at the Shree Durga Peeli Amman Temple on Delhi Avenue
during Navratri).

The Jalakandeswarar Temple (Mahashivaratri and other

celebrations, as well as sporadic classical artist performances,
are held in the Jalakandeswarar Temple next to the Adyar
Gate).

The Vinayagar Temple(Celebrations for Ganesh Chaturthi and

Saraswati Pooja take place at the Vinayagar Temple, located
behind Taramani Guest House).

On Sunday mornings, it is simple to find the chapel behind the

Department of Biotechnology by listening to the sound of the
choir. The chapel, which just celebrated its sixth birthday, holds
Mass and other events like "intercession of prayers," in which
members receive handwritten, anonymous petitions and
subsequently pray for the recipient. Catholic Mass is held every
Sunday at 8:30 am in the NCC building in addition to the
chapel; the community also frequently participates in
charitable work, visits to orphanages, and other activities.

There is a prayer hall for Islamic Students, located behind the

Students Facilities Centre, near the Himalaya Mess where
people offer prayers regularly. The Friday sermon is conducted
in English. Besides this, the community organizes activities and
classes for members of the Islamic faith, such as the recitation
of the Quran and more.

 Independent Bodies
SABHAS AND SAMITIS

There are a lot of regional clubs on campus that organise cultural

events, get-togethers and meals throughout the year. Regional club
members include not only students, but also faculty and staff. In the
first year, they are a great way to make new friends and keep
homesickness at bay, so watch out for notices on campus announcing
their events, especially for freshers. The regional clubs on campus
include:

HIndi Mitra Mandal (HMM)

Hindi Mitra Mandal is a group of enthusiastic students who celebrate

the diversity of our country. We have a good history of organizing
Festivals, cultural programs and joyful events like Holi Celebration,
Krishna Janmashtami, Diwali and Navratri in our institute.

MARATHI MITRA MANDAL

Marathi Mitra Mandal is an Institute recognized, a student-driven body

coming under the various regional Samitis on the campus. There are
more than 300 students coming from all over Maharashtra for various
programs, and the organization aims at keeping the Marathi culture
and spirit alive on the campus through various events and festivals,
celebrated with great pomp in Maharashtra. Notable events conducted
include Ganesh Chaturthi, Dahi Handi, a musical event Indradhanu in
the odd semester, and a drama event Snehabandha in the even
semester.

GARVI GUJARATI SANGATHAN

Garvi Gujarati Sangathan is a body of Gujarati students on our campus.

It has been formed with a view to provide a platform for Gujarati
students on the campus to know, meet and bond with each other. GGS
also aims to celebrate the cultural festivals which are prominent in
Gujarat like Navratri, Shivratri, Janmashtami, and more, giving us a
chance to enjoy and cherish the festivals and culture here away from
home.

SADINER (Students Association for Development of India's North East

Region)

SADINER is the association of the students coming from the North East
region of India which is involved in various social and cultural activities
in the campus. Our association has had an active participation in
events like Independence Day, Republic Day, etc in the institute as well
as played an active role in social activities like organizing flood relief
funds for the North Eastern states. Our flagship event is the North East
India fest which is organised every year in the Spring Semester.

DIGANTO

Diganto, the Bengali Association of IIT Madras is not only an

organization that unites all Bengalis who are part of this institute, but it
is more like a family where we meet people speaking our native
language and share the same culture that brings us the essence of
being at home in Chennai.

KARKA KASADARA TAMIL CLUB

The objectives of the club provide and maintain social, academic and
recreational amenities for its tamil members and to teach Tamil to
non-natives, to acquaint them with the language and its culture as well
as to conduct training and workshops by teachers of foreign
languages and Tamil, to both the non-native and the native audience .

TELUGU SAMSKRITIKA SAMITHI

Telugu Samskritika Samithi is a group of enthusiastic students who

celebrate the telugu cultural diversity of our country.They organize
Festivals, cultural programs and celebrate events like Vinayaka
Chathurthi, Krishna Janmashtami, Rama Navami in our institute.

KERALA KALA SAMITHI (KKS)

KKS was initiated decades ago and grown with the support of faculty
and students. The precious legacies, powerful aspects of language,
poetry. Drama, dance, Mohiniattam, Kathakali and so on chiefly based
in Kerala, are really fascinating and it will be of immense individual and
collective advantage to arrange for sharing the experience and insights
of the population from one region with those of the neighbours,
structured on a sober platform of long-cherished ethic through this
platform.

 Wifi & LAN

LAN is available in every room of all Hostels. Students have to bring their
own LAN cable to connect it to their Laptop/PC. And Wi-Fi is available in
Academic Section, In Library and many more place.

 To Do List
Freshie year is the year when you have so much enthu to explore
and figure out insti life. You get to learn how to live an independent
balanced life with fun and acads. Here is a checklist which you can
have a look at to start your insti adventures.

Contact your Saathi mentor

When you come to a new place, confusion and anxiety are natural.
Saathi mentor helps you to settle down mentally. They are your
seniors who have experience living here and they will help you with
figuring out how insti life works. You are welcome to disturb your
saathi mentor whenever you want :)

Explore your new home

For the next few years, you will live in this place so make sure you
know what is where. Find out where places like the shopping
complex and important offices are. Also do all those freshie
adventure tasks like finding out where aero-well, third elephant, and
railway tracks are. Make sure that you attend the OAT movie nights
and Himalaya lawn events.

Find out people

A lone life with all books surrounding is not what you should expect
from this place. It’s all about meeting new people and exploring your
new life so don’t hesitate to introduce yourself to people. Make sure
that you know people from other departments and batches. A
stable and reliable friend circle makes your insti life joyful and
enjoyable.

Attend the insti events

Insti is a very happening place with one or another event happening

every day. Check your smail regularly for updates about events;

attend as many events as possible and soon you will find out your

areas of interest, and then you can specifically search for those

events. It is also a good opportunity to meet new people.

Non-insti expeditions

Chennai is a happening place where you get a lot of options to

explore. From food streets to shopping malls you are gonna cherish

your every outing. Don’t miss the trip to Mahabalipuram and

Pondicherry(so soon?) which might be the first long journey by most

of you without your parents.

First night-out

Have you ever stayed up and seen the morning sun, if not this is the

chance to do that. It might be a late-night PoR meet or a rant

session with your friends- whatever it is you are gonna enjoy that (if

it is a day before a holiday!). End your night out with the morning sun

at Watsa which will be the cherry on the cake.

Academics

After years of jam-packed study schedules and stressful entrance

exam days, you might tend to sit back and relax for a while. But

remember that acads are the most important part of your insti life,

and some extracurriculars have minimum CGPA criteria to be

fulfilled. Make sure that you don’t miss out on anything you like

because of your low CGPA. Learn to have a balance between both.

Live your life

At the end of all of these, it is to live your life to the fullest. After you

graduate, when you turn back, you will find it a rollercoaster ride. Let

it be a ride of highs, lows, and ups and downs, rather than confining

yourself within your comfort zone. Welcome to the most beautiful

years of your life. Welcome to IITM.

 Important Websites
courses@iitm.ac.in : This is the main academic website that gives you a
list of all your courses and the teachers that teach you those courses. It
is the all-in-one academic platform where you’ll be given assignments
and additional course material. All your quiz papers, tutorials and
solutions will be uploaded on your personal account. Infact, some
professors even prefer taking quizzes through this. The website has an
app version called Moodle which is a must-download. You can login
into Moodle using your L-DAP credentials which is basically your roll-
number as your login ID and a unique password. ‘Uploading on Moodle’
is a term that you’re going to hear very often throughout your insti life

workflow@iitm.ac.in : Workflow IITM is the website that you’ll be using to

register for all your courses officially. During the add-and-drop courses
week, you can register and deregister courses if approved by your
faculty advisor. Workflow can only be accessed by logging into
netaccess.iitm.ac.in through your L-DAP credentials, or using institute
WiFi.

htttp://ccw.iitm.ac.in/ : This is the Hostel Management Portal of IITM. Any

hostel related issues be it mess biometric registration, hostel fee
payment, complaints or suggestions are to be addressed through this
portal.

http://academic.iitm.ac.in/ : This website lists all the courses offered by

different professors of the institute. It provides information about every
course in detail. Again, accessible only through insti-net, it gives the
students an overview of their academic curriculum.

https://nptel.ac.in/ : NPTEL or National Program on Technology

Enhanced Learning is a website which has a collection of educational
videos on various courses taught in the curriculum of the top 7 IITs and
IISc. These courses are taught by the professors themselves and are
accessible to everybody. You can enroll and get certified for the same.

 Faculty Advisor
Faculty advisors are professors assigned to a group of students, often
by roll number basis, whose task is to assist one throughout their stay in
IIT Madras with any academic or other help they may require. Whether
it entails settling in a hostel, feeling homesick, having concerns about
certain procedures, or needing academic advice, there is nothing that
isn’t within the spectrum of acceptable issues to approach your faculty
advisor with: they will simply refer you to the concerned person/body if
they feel that the matter is out of their jurisdiction to solve. Most
professors ensure regular meetings with their assigned students to stay
in the loop; others may not. It is therefore important to make yourself
known to your respective advisors, in order to avoid being stared at
dubiously and then asked who you are if on the off chance you decide
to finally approach them for help after two years of never having met
them. In some cases, there is a round of introduction of faculty advisors
during the respective department orientations, so it is advisable to pay
attention
