CLOSING REMARKS
This is the season of evaluation of Institutions and of
rankings. A lot has been written in the media about the
absence of Indian Institutions in the list of top institutions
of the world or even Asia. Our institution is young, and
so we fall short on many categories. Thus, if the average
research output of the last five years is compared with
the current year’s, there will be a big difference. We
also lose out on parameters such as reputation among
academicains and among industry because we are not
that well known. Indian institutions in general also fall
short when it comes to internationalization. We do not
have too many foreign students and faculty from other
countries are few and far in between. Another area we
lose out is in the faculty to student ratio, although IIT
Guwahati’s position is better than many other IITs.
Nevertheless, our goal is to continuously assess our
achievements and shortcomings, and to try and improve
wherever we are lagging behind. For example, while we
find that the number of papers that are being published
is satisfactory, we know we fall short when it comes to
technology transfer and patenting. I am confident our
institute will continue to improve every year as we work
as a team to help each other.

Started in 2002, the Department is a major academic host offering all degree programmes such as BTech, MTech and
PhD in Chemical Engineering. Currently, Department offers two specialisations in the MTech degree course (since
2011), viz. (1) Petroleum Science and Technology and (2) Materials Science and Technology. Bachelor degree in
Chemical Engineering follows an eight semester system. The curriculum is designed to impart fundamental principles
as well as recent advancements in Chemical Engineering. The syllabi include Humanities, Computer, Mechanical, and
Chemical engineering sciences. The students are encouraged to do a two semester thesis work (semesters VII and
VIII) to get an insight into the realistic industrial problems and to find a suitable solution methodology. To enhance
their skills, the undergraduate students are motivated to attend various workshops and undergo summer training.
The master degree courses follow a four semester system. In the first two semesters, the postgraduate students
are exposed to advanced common courses of Chemical Engineering as well as specialisation related courses. The
curriculum involves one year thesis work (semesters III and IV) which includes fundamental and applied research.
The doctoral programme requires a minimum necessity of taking four course work for master (MTech) degree holder
and six course work for bachelor (BTech) degree holder in the first two semesters. After the completion of course
work, the doctoral students have to appear for the PhD comprehensive examination. The research scholar is further
allowed to carry out his/her research work after successful completion of the PhD comprehensive examination. The
exceptional candidates in Masters’ degree programme are encouraged to be inducted in our doctoral program in
their second year of Masters’ degree. The maximum duration for the doctoral programme is about four years.

of the Department took part in the ACM-ICPC contest. A Linux Users’ Group and a Google Developers’ Group are
active and have been conducting several workshops and seminars to promote the use of Linux and other Google
technologies throughout this Institute. A Solaris User Group is also working in the same direction. As a part of the
activities of Aakash Application Development Lab, CSEA has also conducted two workshops and coding events on
Android application development which were attended by over 100 students across the institute.
During the summer of 2012, the Department provided summer training to 38 students from different institutions
around the country.
Keeping in view the current industry trends, a large number of specially designed courses were offered by the
Department during this period. Students were offered courses in Wireless Networks, Speech Processing, Data
Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization Methods, Randomized Algorithms, Distributed Systems, Parallel Computer
Architecture, Computational Geometry, VLSI Design, Advanced Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Formal
Verification, Mobile Robotics, Human-Computer Interaction, Self-Stabilizing Algorithms, Algorithmic Game Theory,
Computational Systems Biology, and Multimedia Systems, in addition to the normal set of courses in core areas.
Innovative approaches to teaching traditional courses such as Operating Systems and Databases were also adopted.
For instance, the students were taught how to study and modify an Operating System using the PintOS instructional
software, the use of Network Simulators in the Networks course and the use of QualNet simulators for networking
projects. They were also trained extensively in using Oracle RDBMS. The students used the RATIONAL suite in the
Software Engineering course.

INTRODUCTION
The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, has a unique niche
in the academic programme of the institute. It currently comprises eight disciplines, namely, Economics, English,
Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, History & Archeology, Political Science and Linguistics. The courses offered at the
B.Tech. level are designed with a view to providing academic inputs that complement the technology programs of
the Institute. All the eight disciplines Endeavour to highlight the fact that science and technology must eventually
address the needs of human beings. However, apart from imparting knowledge in some of the contemporary areas,
the courses also encourage students to deliberate on issues relating to ethical and social roles of technology. A
growing understanding of the importance of the interdisciplinary is today one of the department’s major strengths.
Some of the current academic concerns in the eight disciplines focus on this aspect of knowledge.
The department also has a vibrant MA programme in Development Studies and Doctoral Program in which scholars
are encouraged to excel in high quality research through rigorous coursework that hone their theoretical, critical and
empirical tools. The wide range of areas of interests of the faculty members ensures a broad vision and openness
in the department’s academic programs.

INTRODUCTION
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest and oldest departments of the Institute. It has
started attracting students from around the globe, with several foreign students having been admitted recently.
Major activities of the Department include teaching, laboratory development, research and providing technical
consultancy to the industry. It aims at giving students a cutting edge over education, developing their problemsolving skills, challenging them with open-ended problems through projects and providing them facilities which
help them grow keen interest in active research. Curriculum is continuously upgraded and modernized by the
introduction of new courses. New laboratories are setup and new equipments procured by assessing course based
necessity. The Department aptly makes use of the technical facility of the Workshop in teaching and in setting up
of in-house experimental set-ups. It also welcomes BTech, MTech and PhD students from other departments of the
institute as a gesture of support to their time-to-time academic and research needs.
Through consultancy, the Department contributes to cementing the academia-industry interface and also
disseminates technical know-how to the society. The faculty members of the Department are actively engaged with
subsidiary centres in the Institute viz. Centre for Energy, Centre for Educational Technology, Centre for Environmental
and Centre for Nanotechnology. They often take up consultancy projects which are directly or indirectly associated
with the rural as well as urban development of the society. Faculty members of the Department usually venture
into various multidisciplinary activities under the aegis of subsidiary bodies viz. Rural Technology Action GroupNorth-East (RuTAG-NE) and Biogas Development and Training Centre (BDTC). RuTAG-NE has been developing
continuously a network of science and technology groups, government agencies and NGOs with a goal to provide
R&D interventions in rural sector of the North-East region of the country for such systems that have already been
developed to a stage of functionality and those identified for further development. BDTC is engaged in imparting
training and disseminating technical knowledge of biogas technology to the people of the North-Eastern states of
India and facilitating research on this technology.
The students of the department are, apart from their courses and projects, actively involved in extracurricular and
co-curricular activities. The Mechanical Engineering Students’ Association (MESA) of IIT Guwahati aims to play a
pivotal role in the development of students as engineers by various such activities. One of its recent activities was
an industrial visit, in which many students, accompanied by two faculty members, visited the Chandrapur Thermal
Power Station on March 30, 2013. This power plant is in a closed down state, which was beneficial to students. Since
most of the machines were opened up and their outer hosing taken off, it was possible for the students to look into
the components and interior structures.
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
The Mechanical Engineering Department currently offers B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph.D. programmes. The B.Tech
programme offers a comprehensive fundamental education in mechanical engineering, emphasizing basic sciences
and mathematics, followed by engineering sciences and engineering design. The Department presently offers
M.Tech. programme in four specializations viz. (1) Machine Design, (2) Fluid & Thermal Engineering, (3) Computer
Assisted Manufacturing and (4) Computational Mechanics

Department of physics
INTRODUCTION
Physics department began its journey in 1995. Since then the department endeavoured to impart quality education
to the B.Tech, MSc and the PhD students of the department, the allied departments and first year BTech / BDes
students of the institute. In order to achieve the goal of sublime learning, the teaching and research laboratories
are being continuously upgraded with state‐of‐the art equipment and other infrastructural facilities. In research
and development, the department continues to excel with increase in contribution towards international research
publications, sponsored research activities, participating and conducting national/international workshops,
conferences, short‐ term courses, taking part in conducting and mentoring Physics Olympiad etc. The department
is working towards the goal of recognition of one of the centers of excellence in learning with cutting edge research
and development activities in various frontline areas of Physics and allied inter‐disciplinary subject areas.
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
BTech programme
The department offers core, science elective and open elective courses in physics for the B.Tech. program of the
institute. The theory courses PH101 and PH102, and a laboratory course PH110 are offered as core physics courses
to 1st year B.Tech students. The core courses are designed to offer a holistic knowledge of physics and to train
the students in experimental techniques with modern equipment. Since the year 2006, a four year B.Tech Engg.
Physics Program has been added to train bright students as engineers along with essential knowledge on physics
and applied physics. The department has upgraded under graduate and post graduate laboratories from time to
time to meet the demand of increase in number of student intake and by introducing new experiments. The course
structure and syllabi of BTech‐EP programme was revised in the reported academic year by introducing an option
of choosing a minor programme from other engineering disciplines offered in the institute. In addition to that, the
department has introduced a minor programme in BTech‐EP for the benefit of students from other engineering
disciplines. The BTech‐EP minor programme consists of five courses namely Quantum Physics, Laser Physics and
Technology, Computational Physics, Engineering Optics and, Materials Science and Engineering. 80 % of the passing
out students from the third batch of BTech‐EP have got industrial placement and in addition to that some of them
got admission in prestigious universities in US/Europe for higher studies.
MSc programme
The two‐year M.Sc. program in physics was started in July 2000. The entry to the programme since 2006 is through
JAM – entrance examination. This program is designed with equal emphasis on both classroom lectures and laboratory
training with modern infrastructure. Several M.Sc students have cleared some of the national level qualifying exams
for PhD, such as GATE, JEST, NET etc.
PhD programme
The department has been offering Ph.D. program in physics, since August 1996 both in experimental as well
as theoretical areas. The department is concentrating on the following thrust areas; condensed matter physics
(Experimental and Theoretical), Laser and Photonics (experimental and theoretical), Higher Energy Physics
(Experimental and Theoretical) and Theoretical Physics. Students in this program are trained through rigorous course
217
work covering basic as well as advanced level courses before starting their research work. The total PhD strength
of the department is 96.

Condensed Matter and Computational Physics
Physics Department received a financial support from Department of Science and Technology under FIST program
for the year 2011 towards the development of following infrastructure facilities:
(1) High power rotating anode X‐ray diffractometer with high temperature and reflectivity measurement attachments,
(2) Surface profilometer with vibration isolation table,
(3) Networking facility for setting up advanced computer lab facilities.
Budget details:
218
(1) Fund sanctioned: Rs. 229 Lakhs
(2) Fund received: Rs. 209 Lakhs.
The first two facilities were ordered and successfully installed in department physics and available for the general
user to characterize their sample, while the budget for third facility is received very recently now and procurement
of facilities are in progress.
Laser and Optics
Fiber Optics and Photonics
The research areas covered under “fiber optics and photonics” are Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance based
Sensors, nanophotonics, fiber Bragg gratings, photonic crystal fiber and their applications, fiber optic sensors with
applications that spans from structural health monitoring, environmental engineering to biomedical science. Major
research objectives realized in aforesaid period are:
• All optical fiber sensor based on fiber Bragg grating inscripted onto a fiber nano-wire has been developed for
simultaneously sensing multi-parameters that includes strain, temperature and relative humidity. It is equipped
with an extremely high (more than 10 times) strain sensitivity as compared to the best sensitivity reported in the
literature till date is realized with a novel scheme employed for the development of this sensor.
• Optical Fiber Sensors for structural health monitoring have been developed to sense the tilt angle and its direction
from horizontal for a given structure (bridges, under water canal, sky-rising buildings etc.) using four fiber Bragg
grating with linear dynamic range and manifold enhanced sensitivity.
• Surface Plasmon resonance/Localized Surface Plasmon resonance based Optical Fiber Sensor have been developed
for environmental applications such as to measure the refractive index and relative humidity is developed covering
entire dynamic range (~5 to ~99%) with linear response and higher sensitivity.
• Nanoparticle doped optical fiber is developed and fabricated in-house for sensing applications.
• Optical fiber nanowire sensor exploiting Localized Surface Plasmon resonance have been developed for
environmental applications such as to measure relative humidity is developed covering widest possible dynamic
range with linear response and higher sensitivity. Optical fiber nanowire sensors are also exploited/are being exploited
for strain/temperature/torsion sensing.
Computer generated holography and optical microscopy
• Ongoing research works in the area of computer generated holography arehigh speed wave front sensing,
interferometry, generation and study of vortex beams, hologram based beam deflection, etc. There has also been
an optical sectioning microscope that incorporates binary hologram based beam scanning. At present work is in
progress towards the development of a confocal microscope that will facilitate dynamic control over the excitation
beam profile.
High Energy Physics
Research activities of the High Energy Physics Group include particle physics phenomenology, its cosmological
connection and experimental high energy physics.
• Phenomenology of Particle Physics beyond the Standard Model emphasizes on aspects of Electroweak Symmetry
Breaking and Higgs Mechanism and CP violation, currently focusing on models like the Little Higgs Model and Models
within the Extra‐dimensional scenarios. Apart from such specific models, generic analyses in a model independent
way to understand dynamics beyond the scope of Standard Model in cases with strongly interacting gauge bosons,
and additional gauge bosons like the Z‐prime are also being actively pursued.
• Throughout the last decade, we observe empirical evidences, which demonstrate that the Standard Model of
elementary particle physics is incomplete, e.g. non‐baryonic dark matter, dark energy, neutrino mass, baryon
asymmetry, nearly scale invariant density perturbations. Many of these are possible messengers from early universe.
Understanding of such early stages of the universe requires the development of particle physics, while the universe
may be regarded as a testing ground of particle physics at high energies beyond the reach of accelerators. We are
involved in finding mutual relationship between cosmology and particle physics based on the study of matter
antimatter asymmetry, dark matter/energy, neutrinos, inflation and physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary
particle physics.
• On Experimental High Energy Physics, we are collaborating with the Belle/Belle II and BaBar experiments for
research involving B‐mesons, CP violation and physics search beyond Standard Model. We are also collaborating
219
with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) and India‐m Based Neutrino Observatory (INO) group for
research in Neutrino Physics.

centre for energy
INTRODUCTION
Centre for Energy at IIT Guwahati has been functioning since June, 2004 with an endeavour to promote interdisciplinary
research for sustainable energy. Involvements of faculty members from various departments have been increasing
year wise. At present 25 faculty members from various department of the institute are associated with the centre
and as a result there has been a significant progress in academic and research activities of the centre. The research
activities related to low carbon technologies namely, alternative fuels, clean coal technology, combustion and energy
efficiency of systems, fuel cell research, thin film solar cells, anaerobic digestion, and waste utilization has become
the thrust areas. During the reported year the centre received 05 (five) sponsored projects from various funding
agencies and few more projects are in the pipeline. The X-ray crystallography lab has been newly established in the
centre, dedicated to sample preparation for studies on structure of enzymes and their interaction with nanostructured
materials for bioelectronic devices & other applications. The basic laboratory facilities for promotion of research in
interdisciplinary areas have been further extended with the procurement of a number of equipment during this year.
The facilities available at the centre have been a great support for the students working in different areas at IITG as
well for the students of various academic and research institutions of the north east. This year the progress of the
PhD students has been very satisfactory. There have been 19 publications in international peer reviewed journals
and few of the PhD students have received awards in national and international conference.
A part of the energy efficiency laboratory has been functioning from the Technology Complex (TC) since 2007 due
to space constraints and environmental compatibility (particularly noise and air pollution). Installations of rugged,
heavy and noisy equipment/experimental setup namely, biomass gasification, IC engine, fluidized bed unit and few
of the field implementation study like biogas digesters, vermicompost units etc. are established at the TC. Numerous
sponsored research projects are currently operating from the TC in addition to the dedicated biogas development
and training centre (BDTC), established in the year 2006.
A two day training programme on ‘Energy Technologies & Waste Utilization’ for the Forest Ranger Trainees of Central
Academy for State Forest Service, Ministry of Environment and Forests, was organized by the centre during 21-22
February, 2013.
To promote further growth of the centre a proposal for introduction of academic programmes like MS by research
/ integrated M. Tech has already been submitted. Similarly, a proposal for extension of the centre in the academic
building to accommodate new laboratory facilities and research projects has also been submitted.
This year nine (09) students have been recruited for PhD. So far, ten students have completed their PhD in various
interdisciplinary areas. A few of the students have received post doctoral fellowship in internationally reputed
universities, while others have joined faculty positions in institutes like NITs, BITs and Central Universities.
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
Currently the centre offers only PhD programme, which was started in the year 2005.

2012-2013. Certain new projects have been undertaken at the Centre in the aforementioned time period.
The basic laboratory facilities for different areas of nanotechnology have been further extended. This year a number
of equipment has been procured, namely, electronic and analytical balances, mass flow controller, spin coating
unit, and programmable PID controller. Also, the Dynamic Scintillation Counter, a very vital module of the X-Ray
Diffractometer is in the process of being procured.
Sophisticated instruments installed at the Centre for Nanotechnology or at the Central equipment facility (CIF) have
been a great support for the students working in different areas at IITG. The existing facilities available at the Centre
are also shared by other members of various Departments, Centres and academic institutions of the Northeast
India. Manpower development has been another area of progress, which was achieved by hiring research fellows
under the project category. One student of the Centre has been awarded PhD degree in the year 2012-13. The PhD
programme in Nanotechnology is now continuing with 16 students and one project staff. Collaboration with the
Department of Biotechnology, Chemistry, Physics, Electronics and Communications (ECE) and Chemical Engineering
are being carried out at the Centre. Further, students of the Centre have taken up an elective course on Frontiers in
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology floated from the Centre.
Collaborative research work with other departments/Centres was continued in a phase-wise manner by technical
personnel of the Centre. This was reflected in research papers published in journals and conference proceedings.
In addition to ongoing works, collaboration was initiated with researchers from the Department of Mechanical
Engineering in the emerging area of bio-mechanics.
Faculty members, staff and students associated with the Centre delivered lectures at several conferences and
symposia. A few B.Tech students have carried out their BTP work at the Centre for Nanotechnology. Overall, during
the previous year, the Centre has witnessed significant growth in various aspects of academic and research activities.
