IIT Guwahati

Its one of the institute which take admission on the basis of gate score only, ie no interview, no written test.

Selection Criterion

IIT Guwahati shortlisted the applications based on the GATE score and the shortlisted candidates were called for the counselling at the institute. 

About Course

The course I applied for at IITG was MTech(CSE). There is also a dual degree program at IITG under the CSE department, but it is not for the CS students..(yes you read it right :P), so kindly read the eligibilty crietria carefully before filling the form.

Travel and Stay

There are direct air services from/to Mumbai, New Delhi and Kolkata with connectivity to all major cities in the country and direct train services from/to all the metropolis and other major cities. Air India, Jet Airways, Jetlite, Kingfisher, IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir operate regular flights to and from Guwahati.

It is around 20 km from the heart of the city and around 40 min drive from the airport. To reach the institute from the city, there is an Institute bus service that runs regularly to and from the city.
Also the institute will inform you about the bus timings in the call letter from the airport/station to IITG.
Or you can take a private cab/pre-paid taxis also.

There will be accomodation for the applicant only not for the person accompaning him/her.

The Institute

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, the sixth member of the IIT fraternity, was established in 1994. The academic programme of IIT Guwahati commenced in 1995.

IIT Guwahati has good infrastructure for carrying out advanced research and has been equipped with state-of-the-art scientific and engineering instruments and recently IIT Guwahati has been ranked among the top 100 of the world's dynamic young universities by Times Higher Education (THE) magazine also.

Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati's campus is on a sprawling 285 hectares plot of land on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra around 20 kms. from the heart of the city. With the majestic Brahmaputra on one side, and with hills and vast open spaces on others. No doubt its the most beautiful IIT among all

Councelling

There was a pannel of 5-6 professors who all were calling the applicants according to their application no. They were checking all marksheets the till Final/Pre-final Semester. Also our 10th and 12th DMC was required and further I just submit my Demamd draft of Rs.150 along with a passport size photograph and I was done for the day.

The first list was declared after two days and the second list after five more days.

Do wait till the final list because many applicants just reserve their seats till they get any other seat at preffered IIT and later on they withdraw. There is a good chances of selection till AIR 275 at IITG


In 2014
First and Second list was declared till Gate score: 802, AIR: 241

My Trip

After the councelling I visted to Kamakhya temple, Alfresco Boat in the evening. Do check their timings before going there.

P.S: If you are a nature oriented person you will enjoy your visit to IITG.
