 PREFACE
What is great in being an IITian? You will get the answer when you look in to the
biographies of these Tech grads occupying the top rungs of R&D or management
positions in almost all technical companies in the public and private sectors in
India. Many even hold senior positions in PWD, the railway and the Army, busy
bringing about a 'Technology and Societal Transformation'. A University of
California study found that 10 per cent of all start-ups in the Silicon Valley
between 1995 and 1998 were by Indians, most of whom had come from the IIT
system.

The concept of the IITs originated even before India gained independence in 1947.
It was conceptualized that the future prosperity of India would depend not so
much on capital as on Technology, which eventually resulted into developments
leading to the first IIT in the country in 1951. With time more IITs were setup
and these institutions trained scientists and engineers, with aim of developing a
skilled work force to support the economic and social development of the country
in post independence era.

The IIT entrance process is unique and uncorrupted. In IITs you have competitive
excellence. You compete with the best in the world. You may have been the best in
your school but you realize that the guy sitting next to you is 10 times better than
you, you learn how to compete and excel in life.

This booklet unveils some basic facts about the IITs and strengthens your desire
rock solid to get into an IIT. Get prepared to make a difference to the billion people
of India.

Best Wishes.

successfully able to manage the discipline in terms of following:
• A proper and timely implementation of a planned curriculum.
• Timely conduction of tests and submission of projects
• Timely conduction of extra curricular activities.
• Strictly maintaining the ethical norms of 'No Ragging'
IITs have always maintained ethical norms of not bullying an individual just for the
sake of it or for fun but have taken enough care of motivating the inner morale of the
individuals towards studies.
19. Inculcation of the Managerial Spirit
• The events organized at IITs as mentioned above act as catalyst in boosting the
managerial dexterity and poised acumen.
• All the technical festivals popularly known as tech fests are completely organized
by students themselves and this cultivates in them the entrepreneurial spirit in
the following way:

 HISTORY
The of IITs and its emergence:

29. Refers to the history of the seven IITs namely IIT Kharagpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras,
IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati and IIT Roorkee.
30. The history of the IIT system dates back to 1946 when Sir Jogendra Singh of the
Viceroy's Executive Council set up a committee whose task was to consider the
creation of Higher Technical Institutions for post-war industrial development in India.
31. The 22-member committee, headed by Nalini Ranjan Sarkar, recommended the
establishment of these institutions in various parts of India, with affiliated secondary
institutions.
32. The first Indian Institute of Technology was founded in May 1950 at the site of the
Hijli Detention Camp in Kharagpur and the first convocation address was given by
Jawaharlal Nehru, first Prime Minister of India, in 1956.·The present name 'Indian
Institute of Technology' was adopted before the formal inauguration of the Institute
on August 18, 1951, by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
33. On 15 September 1956, the Parliament of India passed an act known as the Indian
Institute of Technology (Kharagpur) Act declaring it as an Institute of National
Importance.
34. On the recommendations of the Sarkar Committee, four campuses were established
at Mumbai (1958), Chennai (1959), Kanpur (1959), and Delhi (1961).
35. The location of these campuses was chosen to be scattered throughout India to
prevent regional imbalance.
36. Student agitations in the state of Assam made Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi promise
the creation of a new IIT in Assam. This led to a sixth campus at Guwahati under the
Assam Accord in 1994.
37. The University of Roorkee, India's oldest engineering college was conferred IIT
status in 2001.
38. In the 11th Five year plan, eight states were identified for establishment of new IITs,
and IT-BHU was recommended to be converted in to IIT.
13
Why IIT are the choicest institutes for Quality Education:
39. The smartest, most successful, most influential Indians seem to share a common
credential they are graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology, better known as
IITs.
40. Possess the talent to undergo and handle stress effectively as individuals
themselves undergo the rigors of tremendous competition.
41. Many business houses place high value on IIT education and recruit them at much
higher salaries than what they offer others.
42. IITians enjoy the security and prestige attached to their name and position.
43. IIT graduates are the founding stones in the building of our country and revamping it
to make our country, India a techie nation.
The domain and influence:
44. They are not just into high tech business. The head of the consulting firm McKinsey &
Company for the longest period had been an IIT graduate and so was the Vice
Chairman of Citigroup and the former CEO of US airways.
45. Fortune 500 headhunters are always on the lookout for the IIT degree.
46. As Vinod Khosla, B.Tech. IIT Delhi and Co-founder of Sun Microsystems, puts it,
“They are favored over almost anybody else. If you are walking in for a job, you
wouldn't have as much pre assigned credibility as you do if you are an engineer from
IIT”.
At par with the best in the world:
47. Engineering students are not nerds as opposed to bold or creative, IIT somehow
breaks the mold. It turns computer geeks into risk takers and leaders.
Producing Leaders, not just Engineers:
48. One may wonder why so many IIT grads are entrepreneurs. Why so many do start
their own companies and the answer is, it is because of the confidence. They are
lucky enough to be told by people around that they are good and have a bright future.
Students act like entrepreneurs the whole time they are at IIT.

14
Easy on Pocket:

49. IIT may also be one of the best educational bargains in the world.

50. It costs a family just about 40000 rupees a year for room, food and tuition and this is
less than 20% of the true cost. The Indian Government subsidizes all the rest.

No Corruption:

51. Unlike so many other institutions in India, all the IIT students know they are there
because they deserve to be there.

52. For admission in IITs , on being asked, “Can you slip somebody a couple of rupees
and say come on, get my son or daughter in”. Narayan Murthy says, “No, no, never
impossible. There is no corruption. It is pure meritocracy”.

INCREDIBLE IIT GRADS SPEAK

53. Vinod Khosla, B.Tech., IIT Delhi and Co-founder Sun Microsystems
To quote Khosla, “IITs are probably the hardest schools in the world to get into”. He
got into IIT 30 years ago. After graduating, he came to US, co-founded Sun
Microsystems and became one of Silicon Valley's most important venture
capitalists. He is one of the thousands of IIT grads who have made it big in the US.

15
54. Narayan Murthy, M.Tech., IIT Kanpur, Founder, Infosys. He is known as 'Bill Gates of
India'. To quote Murthy, “Its very easy to lose hope in this country. Its very easy to set
your aspirations low but amidst all this, the competition among high quality
students, this institution of IIT sets your aspirations much higher”.

a) He adds, “My son wanted to do Computer Science (CS) at IIT. To do CS at IIT, you
have to be in top 200. He couldn't do that and so he went to Cornell instead”.

b) Think about that for a minute, a kid from India using an Ivy League university like
Cornell as a safety school. Murthy says, “I do know cases where students who
couldn't get into CS at IITs, they have got scholarships at MIT, at Princeton or at
Caltech”.

55. Nobel Laureate, Venkataraman Ramakrishnan, at a public lecture at Indian

Institute of Science campus in Bengaluru, recalled his journey from Baroda- where
he went to school and college before moving to Ohio University for his Ph.D
Ramakrishnan noted that he appeared for the IIT entrance test but did not get a seat
in IIT.

He further added 'My parents were some what old-fashioned; they did not believe in
coaching classes (for entrance tests).

Education that IIT imparts:

56. Over the years IITs have created world class educational platforms dynamically
sustained through internationally recognized research based on excellent
infrastructural facilities. The faculty and alumni of IITs continue making huge impact
in all sectors of society, both in India and abroad.

57. Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU), Varanasi and Indian
School of Mines University (ISMU), Dhanbad which have intake through IIT-JEE, are
the oldest institutions in India and are known for their immense contributions
towards society at large and for science and technology in particular.

key positions in industry and academia in India and abroad.

61. Each institute has well-equipped modern laboratories, state-of-the-art computer

network and well stocked technical library. Teaching methods rely on direct personal
contact between the teachers and the students and the use of traditional and
modern instructional techniques. Students live in a pleasant and intellectually
stimulating environment with people having similar goals and aspirations, which is
an exciting and unique experience.

62. Credit-based academic programmes offer flexibility to students to progress at their

own pace. A minimum level of performance is necessary for satisfactory progress.
The medium of instruction is English. 75% attendance is mandatory. These
institutions offer courses leading to Bachelor's degree in a number of engineering,
technological and scientific disciplines.

63. M.Sc. Integrated courses in pure and applied sciences and M.Tech. Integrated
courses in a few disciplines are also offered by some of these Institutions. In
addition, some IITs offer Dual-Degree M.Tech. programmes.

Saarang (IIT Madras) (previously Mardi Gras), Antaragni (IIT Kanpur), Alcheringa (IIT
Guwahati).
e) In addition to these cultural festivals, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Bombay celebrate unique
festivals.
f) IIT Kharagpur celebrates the Illumination festival on the eve of Diwali. Large bamboo
structures (called chatais) as high as 6 metres (20 ft) are made and earthen lamps
(diyas) are placed on them to form outlines of people, monuments, or an event.
Although the competition is held between hostels, it also receives entries by outside
visitors. Coupled with the Illumination festival is the Rangoli festival. In Rangoli, large
panels showing an event or a concept, are made on the ground by fine powder, and
sometimes even by crushed bangles.
g) Unique to IIT Bombay is the Performing Arts Festival (popularly known as PAF).
Technically a drama, each PAF includes drama, literature, music, fine arts, debating,
and dance. All PAFs are held in the Open Air Theater (OAT), on the main campus of IIT
Bombay. Typically two or three hostels (of 14) group together by random draw for
each PAF. All of the dialogues are delivered as voiceovers and not by the actors,
mainly due to the structure and the huge size of the OAT.
h) Recently, IIT Guwahati has also started this Performing Arts Festival (PAF).

h) The IITs have scored better under most educational ranking criteria than other Indian
colleges and universities and so they continue to achieve top positions in nationwide
surveys.
90. Recognition to the Brand IIT:
a) The degrees provided by IITs are recognised by the AICTE and hence recognised by
all institutions in India.
b) Other factors that have contributed to the success of IITs are stringent faculty
recruitment procedures and industry collaboration. The procedure for selection of
faculty in IITs is stricter as compared to other colleges offering similar degrees. The
Ph.D. degree is a pre-requisite for all regular faculty appointments.
c) Former IIT students get greater respect from their peers, academia and industry in
general. The IIT brand was reaffirmed when the United States House of
Representatives passed a resolution honoring Indian Americans and especially
graduates of IIT for their contributions to the American society.
38
d) China also recognised the value of IITs and planned to replicate the model.
91. General details:
a) The faculty-to-student ratio in the IITs is between 1:6 and 1:8.
b) The Standing Committee of IIT Council (SCIC) prescribes the lower limit for faculty-
to-student ratio as 1:9, applied department wise. The IITs subsidise undergraduate
student fees by approximately 80% and provide scholarships to all Master of
Technology students and Research Scholars in order to encourage students for
higher studies, per the recommendations of the Thacker Committee (19591961).
c) The cost borne by undergraduate students including boarding and mess expenses is
around Rs. 75,000 per annum. It has increased significantly over past ten years.

National Importance facilitates the smooth running of IITs.
e) Such autonomy means that IITs can create their own curricula and adapt rapidly to
the changes in educational requirements, free from bureaucratic hurdles.
f) The government has no direct control over internal policy decisions of IITs (like
faculty recruitment and curricula) but has representation on the IIT Council.
g) The medium of instruction in all IITs is English. The classes are usually held between
7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., though there are some variations within each IIT.
h) All the IITs have public libraries for the use of their students. In addition to a collection
of prescribed books, the libraries have sections for fiction and other literary genres.
The electronic libraries allow students to access on-line journals and periodicals.
i) The academic policies of each IIT are decided by its Senate. This comprises all
professors of the IIT and student representatives.
j) Unlike many western universities that have an elected senate, the IITs have an
academic senate. It controls and approves the curriculum, courses, examinations
and results, and appoints committees to look into specific academic matters. The
teaching, training and research activities of the institute are periodically reviewed by
the senate to maintain educational standards. The Director of an IIT is the ex-officio
Chairman of the Senate.

39
92. Credit system of performance:
a) All the IITs follow the credits system of performance evaluation, with proportional
weighting of courses based on their importance.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) Each semester evaluation is done independently and then the weighted average
over all semesters is used to calculate the cumulative grade point average (known
as CGPA or CPI (Cumulative Performance Index).
93. Top Recruiters at IITs
a) The IITs across various cities in India invite companies mainly from the Information
Technology (IT) sector.
b) Some of the past recruiters at IIT Madras include McKinsey, Analog, Cosmic
Circuits, Lehman Brothers, Capital One, Reliance Industries, Google India,

94. IIT Placements Procedures:
a) IIT placements procedures generally differ from place to place, with a few processes
remaining common.
b) IIT Bombay sends invitations to various companies with appropriate information and
a Job Announcement Form (JAF).

40
c) The placement office at IIT Madras also sends placement invitation letters to the
companies along with a summary of the courses available at the institution. The
companies that wish to participate in the recruitment process are required fill in an
employer registration form, which is generally attached with the placement
invitation letter from the respective IITs. After the concerned companies accept the
invitation, a mutual suitable date is finalized for the recruitment process.
IITs See Highest Pay Packages
(According to the News update of December 3, 2009)
d) The IIT attracted the virtual who's who of the job market - Microsoft, Intel, ITC, Shell,
Morgan Stanley, Tower Research, HUL and British Gas, among others.
e) The IIT authorities said that, "This time there is expected to be a rise of 20 to 30 per
cent in the average salary offered to its students."
f) It has been a major turn around for the IITs which had badly sunken in the recession
last year. Recording a major drop-down, the number of multi-national recruiters sunk
by 53 percent from 3,031 in 2008 to 1,606 in 2009.
g) The placement season that began in December 2008 dragged on until June 2009.
While a global major offered nine IIT-Kanpur students Rs.25 lakh a year, Kharagpur
posted the highest salary of Rs.22 lakh a year.
h) Although IIT-Bombay was averse to disclose the remunerations notched up on day
one, Ravi Sinha, placement in-charge, said, "This year also saw a good start with
some great offers.”
i) The information technology sector, in the wake of the meltdown, however, seems to
have lost some of its charm.
j) S.K.Srivastava, placement in-charge at IIT-Kharagpur said that, "We are expecting
the core engineering companies which comprise 50% of the lot this year, to make
some good offers.”
k) Abhishek Malhotra, India partner and in-charge of recruitment of global
management consultancy firm, Booz and Company, assured that, "This time, the
company has improved the number of offers and salary structure.”

One should opt for a Classroom Training Programme if it is available in vicinity. This
helps a student to understand concepts easily.
(ii). What is the right time to start preparing for IIT-JEE?
The best thing is to start as early as possible, right from the 9'th standard if possible.
However, one must start just after clearing class Xth if not started earlier. In such a
scenario the student gets adequate time of 2 years to prepare for the IIT-JEE. This
ensure that his/her preparation for the IIT-JEE is complete before the pressure of
Board examinations begins to tell.
(iii). Which is the easiest subject to score?
It depends on the relative toughness of papers in a particular year alongwith the
relative grading on how did your competitors appearing for the exam performed.

101.FAQs on programmes, process & procedures in IITs
(i). Should I prefer a Dual-degree program or a B. Tech. program?
The answer depends on whether you are talking about the two programs in the same
department, or different departments. Let us take the two possibilities separately.
If you are comparing Dual and B. Tech. in the same department, say Dual (CSE)
versus B. Tech. (CSE), then the answer is very simple. Go for B. Tech. The dual-
degree programs are fantastic, but the way IIT Kanpur policies have been designed,
it is much easier to change one's program from B. Tech. to Dual, and it is much more
difficult to change the program from Dual to B. Tech.. So why should one decide on
Dual now. Take up B. Tech. program now, and if you get excited about the Dual
degree program after you join IIT, you can move to Dual-degree at that time. (Rules of
IIT Kanpur permit a change of program from B. Tech. to Dual-degree till the beginning
of 7th semester).
However, it may not hold the same for other IITs. Another view is that it is little too
early to decide what your specialization should be in the M. Tech., program. Hence,
the suggestion is to follow only those dual-degree programs where M. Tech., is in a
broad discipline (allowing you to choose your specialization in the fourth year
typically), and not like those dual-degree programs where you have to decide now a
narrow area of specialization, for which you know even less at this time.
(ii). Which IIT has the most liberal branch change rules?
Many IITs allow top one percent students to choose their branch without any
restrictions. IIT Kanpur does not have such a rule, but traditionally it has allowed
anyone with a CPI of 10.0 to choose their branch. (And the number of students with a
CPI of 10.0 at the end of 2nd semester is more than one percent of the batch).
All IITs have a lower limit of strength in a branch, and the number of students in that
particular branch cannot go below that level.
IIT Bombay says 85 percent of existing strength. IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee and IIT
Guwahati have set the limit at 90 percent of existing strength. IIT Kanpur has set the
limit at 60 percent of the sanctioned strength. So, IITs at Delhi, Roorkee, and

46
 Guwahati allow very few people to get out of an unpopular branch, while IIT Bombay
allows a few more. IIT Kanpur allows lots of people to get out of any branch, except a
few exceptionally unpopular branches. (Traditionally, Chemistry has had problems
with lower limits, and some students despite good performance have been denied
change of program).
All IITs put an upper limit on the batch size after the branch change. IIT Bombay, IIT
Delhi, and IIT Kanpur set the upper limit as the sanctioned strength. So you can get
into that branch only if there is a vacancy. IITs at Kharagpur and Roorkee allow the
batch size to go up by 10 percent of existing strength. IIT Guwahati allows extra
seats upto 10 percent of sanctioned strength. Now, normally, the most popular
courses do not have any vacancies. So it will be impossible to get Computer Science
in Kanpur and Bombay by way of branch change (unless you are one of the top few),
while at other IITs they always create at least a few seats for branch change.
One thing you may note in these rules is that every IIT either controls exit from a
branch or controls entry into a branch. IITs which are liberal in entry into a branch (by
allowing student strength to go up beyond the existing or even sanctioned strength)
are strict in terms of how many students can get out of a particular branch.
Overall,you may not find any significant difference in the number of students getting
branch changes in different IITs.
IIT Kharagpur and IIT Madras don't seem to allow branch change for dual-degree
students. Many IITs have a special provision for allowing B. Tech. students to join the
dual-degree program in the same department till later part of their program. IIT
Bombay allows a B. Tech. student to migrate to Dual-degree till 4th semester, and in
some exceptional cases, even later. IIT Kanpur allows a B. Tech. student to migrate
to Dual-degree till the middle of 7th semester.
Another point to note is that some IITs allow a general category student to change to
another branch where the vacancy is due to non-availability of a suitable reserved
category student, while other IITs will not do so. And this will make a significant
difference in terms of number of students who can get a change in their branch. (And
I have no idea which IIT does what.) IIT Kanpur used to permit changes for a general

47
 category student to fill up a reserved seat after one year. Now, it has become more
strict, and this year, will not allow such changes. So the number of branch changes
are likely to reduce.
(iii). How are programs on Mathematics and Computing?
In many IITs, there are programs on Mathematics and Computing. The program is
usually offered by the Department of Mathematics and not the Department of
Computer Science. It means that the major component of the program will be
Mathematics, and the Computing component will be significantly less than what a
pure Computer Science program would offer. But if you are very keen on anything
related to computers, and you can't get the full-fledged program on Computer
Science, then these programs are the next best things in life. You, of course can get
into software industry, though you will find it difficult to get a job in research labs of
IT companies. Also, these programs are getting popular wih financial firms. You
know your mathematics, you hone your analytical skills, and you know the basics of
Computer Science. These are enough to earn a 7- digit salary.

(iv). Which IIT is best for CAT preparation?

IITs do not provide coaching for CAT or any other MBA entrance test. There is private
coaching available in every city and town.
If you are sure that you will like to go for MBA after your under-graduate program,
select the program with the largest closing rank. Statistically speaking, it is likely to
be least competitive.
Since you are not interested in any program, and only want to be associated with IIT
brand, chose a program with least number of years (4-years) and a program where
very few top rankers are likely to be present.

 TIPS FOR IIT-JEE PREPARATION

A. You should know how to keep up with the school exams but still not losing focus for
the more important exam like, IITJEE which is going to shape your career.
B. As far as boards are concerned all the topics are equally important but these should
be given more focus than others in case of JEE.
C. Maths- Conics, Complex Numbers and Calculus.
Physics- Kinematics, Thermodynamics, Magneto Stats, Electrostatics, Rotational,
Gravitation.
Chemistry- Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium, Chemical Bonding, Organic, Qualitative
Analysis.
D. Avoid using any calculators while you practice numerical problems because they
hamper your calculation speed.
E. Prepare a time table and stick to it religiously; the time table should be made keeping
in mind your exam timings so that you can perform with greater efficiency.
F. Students who get stressed out soon, should take up to meditation and yoga. It helps
in maintaining a good pace for preparation. Also, it would be quite helpful if you
suggest your mom to give you a nutritious diet consisting of cereals, milk, fruits etc.
G. Putting off your sleep is not at all advisable because it makes you more lethargic for
the days to come. A sound sleep of 6 hours will do but not less than that, taking a
short nap of 30-40 minutes in the afternoon would be a boon.

51
H. Apart from preparing for the exam it is even necessary to have a compatible strategy
for revision because when the student has to face both the boards and JEE it
becomes difficult to handle the pressure.
I. When you are having a vast course to revise you must first tabulate as to which ones
are the topics you are comfortable with and the ones which still pose a problem for
you.
J. Remember, that simply working on topics you are weak at won't be of any good if
you leave aside the strong ones. As when you stand at a three months step from the
exams, you ought to build up a confidence, because, that helps in obviating stress
from building.
K. Hand written notes have a greater impact on your gray matter than the books so, it is
best if you take the revision from your class notes/short notes. Your revision times
should be equally divided among the subjects because all the subjects need
equivalent attention.
L. Remember what it is important to iron out your weak areas but at the same time you
should not compromise on your strength because you do not have to just clear all the
cut-offs; your real aim should be to score high so that you get a good rank.

IITs were established in the country to serve as the centres of world-class
research. Their contribution in the development of the country has been far
greater than expected.
‘The IITians are the pride of the family and envy of the neighbors’, as one can read
in IITian Sandipan Deb's book, 'The IITians', Only around 8000 get to the IITs from
more than 3.84 Lakhs applicants. It is easier to get in to MIT than IIT. The IITians
excelled in various fields, headed various prestigious organizations abroad and at
home and made the country proud.
They have shown talent in politics, technology, engineering, finance, dramatics
and in writing. Strive for excellence and success will automatically follow, is the
mantra for the new aspirants of Indian Institute of Technology.
In nine years of its inception, Resonance has risen beyond all the expectations and
the volume and quality of results have proved the success of its mission.
The growth at Resonance in number of students' selections in IIT-JEE
(5276 to date) is matchless as compared to any other institute in the country,
offering both the Classroom and the Distance Learning Programmes (DLP)
courses.
