IIT Delhi: 11 Answered Questions

Yes, irrespective of the branch, choosing IIT Delhi will always prove to be beneficial for you. IIT Delhi has ties with many big firms that visit the campus for placements and offer great packages irrespective of your branch.

Although most companies that visit IIT Delhi also visit NIT, your IIT tag will always fetch you extra benefits and no one can deny that.

What are my career prospects after pursuing M.Tech in Computer Technology (Electrical Dept.) from IIT Delhi?

My friend completed her M.Tech in Telecommunication Technology and Management from IIT Delhi and also did some extra courses in Computer Technology from Electrical Department. 

These courses usually cover Software related topics with very less focus on mathematical analytics and circuit design. Students from Instrumentation backgrounds expect Analytics and Design but the reality is IIT Delhi has very limited choices in this field. Most of the optional courses offered are related to CS and are much more promising than Analytics. If you are okay with programming, coding, and software development then go for it at once.

Rest assured, you will never get to doubt the packages offered during the placements of Computer Technology. It has the highest packages among all the Electrical Department branches. 

You get what you seek, hence the more you are willing to get, the more opportunities you will have to explore other branches of IIT Delhi.

Three yale students named 2024 quad fellows in stem fields.

Kumaresh Ramesh, Chantelle Pereira, and Stanley Tan

Three Yale graduate students are among the latest group of Quad Fellows, a scholarship program that helps support promising young scientists and technologists.

The Quad Fellowship is an initiative of the governments of Australia, India, Japan, and the United States. The fellowship sponsors exceptional master’s and doctoral students to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the U.S.

This year’s group of 50 fellows expands to include students from various Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) countries, in addition to the initiative’s four partner countries. The fellowship aims to build connections among the next generation of scientists and technologists. The program is designed to support academic excellence and promote cross-cultural understanding and collaboration among participating countries.

Yale recipients for 2024 are Kumaresh Ramesh, an incoming master’s student in environmental management at the Yale School of the Environment (YSE); Chantelle Pereira, an incoming master’s student in chronic disease epidemiology at the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) (Public Health); and Stanley Tan, a Ph.D. student in environmental science at GSAS.

Each student will receive a one-time stipend of $40,000 to be used for academic purposes. During their fellowship, the students will have the opportunity to network and engage in programming with accomplished individuals in STEM, government, and society.

Ramesh, who is from India, completed his undergraduate degree in energy systems engineering from IIT Bombay and later worked with Black & Beatch Global Advisory on repurposing coal-fired power plants. He also worked as a research analyst with the Energy Transitions Team at the Council on Energy, Environment and Water, a New Delhi-based nonprofit. Ramesh is part of the Master of Environmental Management program at YSE. In his work, he hopes to influence interactions between the public, policymakers, and industry in order to hasten the transition to net zero.

Pereira, who is from Australia, plans to study endometriosis and neuroscience at the Yale School of Public Health with the goal of reducing endometriosis-related suffering and bringing more awareness of the disease to decision-makers, educators, and healthcare professionals. Pereira had been selected as a 2023 Quad Fellow but chose to defer the fellowship to this year. She co-founded the Cognitive and Brain Sciences Student Society at Macquarie University in Australia, where she was the winner of the 2022 Emotiv Prize for Cognitive and Brain Sciences.

Tan, who is from Singapore, obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental studies from Yale-NUS College at the National University of Singapore. He previously worked at the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat and is a recipient of the Lewis B. Cullman Fellowship at the New York Botanical Garden. He uses field experiments and computational techniques to study the influence of plant-microbe interactions on plant diversity.

The fellowship is administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE) , a global not-for-profit organization that manages many of the world’s most prestigious scholarship and fellowship programs.

IIT Delhi Eases CGPA Criteria; BTech Students Can Now Graduate By Passing All Required Courses

Reported By : Vatsala Shrangi

Last Updated: August 08, 2024, 20:20 IST

New Delhi, India

IIT Delhi Director Rangan Banerjee noted that the institute has also revised its re-start and termination policies. (Representational image)

Passing in all required courses will account to a CGPA score of 4, which is now the minimum criteria for obtaining a graduation degree

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has relaxed the overall Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) criteria for academic performance, allowing students to obtain a graduation degree by just passing all required courses, marking a significant policy change aimed at addressing mental health issues following recent cases of student suicides on campus.

Previously, a minimum CGPA of 5 was required to earn a degree. However, under the new policy, students can now be granted their degree with a CGPA of 4. The decision to implement this new rule was made earlier this year by the institute’s senate, which is the highest decision-making body of an IIT for all academic purposes.

Passing in all required courses will account to a CGPA score of 4, which is now the minimum criteria for obtaining a graduation degree.

CGPA is an index of a student’s academic performance, which reflects throughout their course duration.

‘A crucial policy change’

“This is a crucial policy change that has been brought about to extend support to students. This means their academic progression will be monitored and those struggling to get that CGPA 5, as was the case until now, will not need to stress about getting their graduation degree, as they would be required just to pass all the courses they have opted for in order to receive their degrees. This is a big change from what we used to do earlier,” said Professor ND Karur, Dean (Academics) at IIT Delhi.

Karur further added that the new approach will allow students to progress at their own pace. “Those who are struggling will be monitored and assigned advisors to help manage their academic progress,” he said.

IIT Delhi Director Rangan Banerjee noted that the institute has also revised its re-start and termination policies. “This means that we will allow students to progress academically putting them on probation period. So, in-principle there is no termination as such on this basis,” Banerjee said.

“In the senate we have also added the provision that subject to academic units agreeing if a student has failed some courses, they will be allowed to opt for similar courses to complete their degrees. So, we are trying to simplify processes for students,” he added.

The change in grading criteria was one of the major demands made by students, who had flagged several issues including the grading policy, social isolation, and the need for a system to provide feedback on faculty members. These concerns were discussed during an open house with the institute director this February. The open house was conducted after several incidents of student suicides over the past year.

In 2024 alone, five student suicides have already been reported across various IITs, including two in Kanpur, and one each in Delhi, BHU, and Roorkee—all first-generation IITs. A significant number of these students belong to reserved categories.

In December of last year, IIT Delhi established an ‘Academic Progress Group’, comprising faculty members and student mentors to assist those struggling with backlogs and extended degrees. This group identifies struggling students from each department and provides them with support throughout their programme.

“Currently, there are around 30-35 students in the Academic Progress Group from different departments. They have been assigned mentors for guiding them through the courses they have not been able to make progress in. One of these students has done so well on being guided that he himself has become a mentor now. For those allowed to stay with a parent the number is less than ten,” said a faculty member, requesting anonymity.

In “exceptional cases” it also allowed students to stay with a family member on campus and reserved hostel seats for those on extended degrees beyond the regular semester duration to help them complete their degrees.

IIT Delhi will host its annual convocation ceremony on August 10, where 2,600 students will receive their degrees at the 55th convocation.
