What you must bring here.....
Every hostel has a canteen,a fruit shop and a stationary cum departmental shop.
1. Canteen-
Everything,
from magi to Britannia biscuits, from lays to ice cream, is available
there. So no need to bring any eatables here. Chowmein, sandwich...everything. Thats all i can recall
about canteen. Stay tuned for updates!!
2. Stationary cum departmental shop-
Here
you will find everything like your bathing soap (all kinds),
toothpastes, toothbrush,washing powder,sunscreen,lotions.....etc. Almost
vereything.
Also you can get registers,pen and pencils, erasers.....amd all kind of stationary items. Also items like agarbattis are easily available here. Also it is the place where you can get your mobile recharged.
NOTE: All kind of mobile networks are fully functional inside the campus :D
3.Fruit shop-
From
Amul tetra packs to red bull cans, from any kind of milk shakes to
pineapples and watermelons, from pepsi to mazza....everything.
Things you need to bring are-
1. No need to bring mattress as there will be shops providing the same. But bring at least 2 bedsheets, one blanket and one pillow (note that pillow are also available here during shopping period ) with two pillow covers. Also bring a rough bedsheets (small size) for curtains of windows or you can buy the curtains from here also.
2. No need to bring any book.
3. If you can bring a laptop, do bring it. Its a requirement but not a necessity. There is a well established computer center where you can study if you do not have laptops. You see , basically use of laptop is to study PDF file lectures that profs teach you in class and then upload on intranet.With laptop in hand, you can study those in your room only, otherwise you have to go to computer center.
4. Do bring moth balls or naphthalene balls, hangers (also available here), air tight cans (as humidity is there), mirror , comb,torch with extra batteries,wrist watch. Also bring at least 2 strong locks as they are not available here.
5. You can also bring a water heating kettle. Bajaj or
Sunflame have good products. these are helpful in winters , in case you
need warm water to drink or if you are fond of morning tea (as breakfast
starts around 0730 )
Update 15/7/13 starts -
Do bring a nail cutter, zero machine, nails or keel (2 or 3 will suffice, however clips are available here ).

P.S- PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUERY,SUBMIT IT IN COMMENT BOX !!!
I have heard about ulpha groups being active in guwahati. Is it dangerous for students to go out of the campus into the city?
ReplyDeletei don't know about whole north east , but i can assure you that one is completely safe inside the campus, as the whole campus has been given military protection. It fells like a whole different world. NO FEAR AT ALL!!
DeleteSimilarly goes for the Guwahati city. Its safe and no its not dangerous for students to leave the campus and go to the city. Many students , mostly your seniors go in huge numbers to city during weekends and exam ends to celebrate and for a change of taste to Dominoes or Pizza Hut.
And if you ever feel that i am wrong about safety, then you can sue me in court...I promise :)
thanks a lot for this blog. It's really helpful!
ReplyDeleteYa its damn good
Deletecould u plz tell me the scheduled dates for summer vacation after first year in college?
ReplyDeleteSummer vacations date after first year (this time)-
Delete28th April to 28th of July.
However after endsem exams get over, its advisable to stay at least for a week (till 3rd of April) to see your answer copies.Note that dates are flexible withing 1-2 days.
in addition to these, other prominent vacations are-
winter vacation - Whole December almost. Roughly from 29 Nov to 29 Dec.
Dussherha break - This time in october for 10 days in which many students go back to their home.
Hope your query is answered!!
Thanks so much for your info...also
Delete1)By what date the exam of first semester ends? this is very important to me as my sister's wedding is in the first week of December.
2) I'm interested in attending a summer school in U.S. but its dates are: june 21-aug 9. Will i be able to adjust this by talking with someone?
Your welcome...
Delete1.Exams of first sem ends well before starting of december. At most by 29 Nov. So first week of Dec is totally fine.
2.I dont think that i am the correct person to answer this. You see, actually registrations are there in July end ( 29th July this time). And you NEED TO BE PHYSICALLY present there to complete your registration. But do talk to Dean of Student Affairs ( Prof. B.K.Patel ) in this matter. Better to go along with your parents. He is a very friendly person and suggest you on this.
Hope you are satisfied!!
how long are my parents going to be required in iit guwahati? moreover, i'm interested in buying major items like bicycle after reaching guwahati. so is the bicycle available at the campus or is it not?
ReplyDeleteOfficially, your parents are required for the registration purpose only which is on 25 july. After that you are on your own. But its advisable if they stay for one or two days more so that you are settled properly.
DeleteYes bicycle will be available in campus during shopping period which will be orgaized in Manas community hall (in the campus near manas hostel.) during the time of registration.
Hope your query is answered.
1)Is there any dressing code for classes?
ReplyDelete2) are we going to get iit guwahati t-shirts etc.?
Lol....no there is no dress code for the class. You can wear almost anything while going for classes. Students even start to wear shorts in classes at the end of first year!!
DeleteHowever for worshop, you HAVE TO wear shoes and tight clothes like jeans or lowers along with tee shirts that are not loose.
And you will get iit Guwahati t-shirts at the time of techniche (technical fest) and alcheringa (cultural fest) .
Hope your query is answered.
how many people got 10 pointers at the end of first year in 2012-2013?
ReplyDeleteThe answer will and should surprise you at first, because answer is "zero"!!
DeleteYes no one is a perfect 10 here. This is because to get a 10 cpi, firstly you need to get 10 in both sems. Moreover, getting a spi of 10 in a sem means getting best in every subject which is very difficult.
However considerable number of students were above 9 and few above 9.5 plus.
I hope your query is answered and if you still have doubt that why its difficult to get cpi 10, then it will be clear in coming 1 month.
thanks. although i am a little bit surprised but this also makes a lot of sense since it is indeed very very difficult( near impossible) to be perfect in each subject when many students (myself included) would try and struggle to get more than a 9 in each subject. my apologies.
Deletecould you tell me how many got above 9.5+? thanks again!
Now that's a reasonable question.
DeleteWell the number of students getting 9.5+ was around 6-7 this time. Also if you are aspiring for branch change and get a 9.5+, then CS is a sure shot for you.
Hope your query is answered!!
P.S. - Never think that getting a 10 is impossible. Atleast make your aim for a 10 always so that you land somewhere near it. Moreover, there are students who get an spi of 10, not in first year, but in 2nd or 3rd Year!!!!
i dont kno which all documents r 2 b brought durin councillin

Still having doubt, then do ask your query.
Hope I was helpful!!
do we need to pay any fee at the time of registration?? I have paid the dd at counselling
ReplyDeleteNo you do not have to pay any fees. Just carry the payment receipt with you. Also they will ask you to give your SBI account number from where they will deduct the mess fee every month. So if you have an your sbi account, carry its passbook with you and give its account number otherwise you have to open an account in the SBI bank of IIT Guwahati.
DeleteHope your query is answered!!
Are there any foreign exchange students that r studying in btech program?
ReplyDeleteNo there are not. But you do get foreign internship opportunities if you study well. The professor recommends you for that.!!
DeleteHope your query is answered!!
spanish, canadian, german, portuguese, sirians, ethiopians students
Deletethere are a lot!!!
which cuisine restaurant are available in the shopping center of iit guwahati campus?
ReplyDeleteLol there are none. However there is a restaurant. You can rate it as a multi cuisine restaurant but a low grade one. I don't even know if any of students even go there...lol.
DeleteHope your query is answered!!
bhaiya, u dere or is this blog off??
ReplyDeleteThis blog is and will always be alive. Its just that I am so much busy these days with academics and other activities that I am finding less time to reply to your queries. But dont worry, you will still get a reply to your query in max 4 days!!
Deleteare the parents provided any accomodation during registeration times ? if yes how many days
ReplyDeleteallowed?
Yes one can book a room in IITG guest house for parents for around 5-6 days. However, due to limited rooms, these often get booked, so its advisable to book a room as soon as you get admission to IITG.
DeleteHowever, rooms can be costly - 200 - 500 Rs / Day. So another way is that they can spend 5-6 days in your hostel room (many parents-students do that).
Another way is that they can find an accommodation in Guwahati City (there are many hotels and motels).
will the classes start just after the Registration of New BTech/BDes students ? is hostel accomadation available immediately after registration ?
ReplyDeletewhat is the expected date of starting of classes?
Hello
DeleteYour classes will begin from 29th July. And your registration is, not sure, on 25th July.
Hostel allotment will be done even before you reach here. You can check that on the IITG website.

Note that even if you forget anything to bring from your home, almost EVERYTHING is available here!!! Even laptops. In fact most of the students buy laptops from here only.
Any good and latest laptop would suffice.
Camera. ..well you must first consult your senior before buying one as they are very expensive.
Also all required softwares are available here so no need to worry about them.

ReplyDeleteYou have washing machines for them. For dry clean, there is a shop in the market complex of IITG.

Deletehello sir i wanted to know if my parents are necessary at the time of admission or can my brother drop me off at the college.
ReplyDeleteParents are not necessary, your brother can drop you there.
Deleteshall i have to bring any payment receipt during registration???I paid my counselling fees through online net banking...so i didnot get any receipt...what to do????
ReplyDeleteIf you did not get any receipt, then yes you might not be needing one, as in my year, it was offline payment so receipt was there. Talk to your friends...ask them if they have any receipt or not.
DeleteActually there is no one whom i know....so i am little bit afraid about this...
Deleteok...so post this query in freshers forum'14 of IITG. Surely your classmates will be there.
DeleteTHANKS!!!
