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.
At present the Institute has eleven departments covering all the
major engineering and science disciplines, offering B. Tech., B.
Des., M. Tech., Ph.D. and M.Sc. programmes. Within a short period
of time, IIT Guwahati has been able to build up the necessary infrastructure
for carrying out advanced research and has been equipped with state-of-the-art
scientific and engineering instruments.
IIT 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, the campus provides an
ideal setting for learning. While the campus construction programme
will terminate at the end of the tenth five year plan, students'
hostels, faculty and staff quarters, and a guest house have already
been built. |
