matters pertaining to undergraduate students.
been adopted and it places high emphasis on flexibility, self-learning,
motivation, industrial interaction, exposure to emerging areas and
identification with the national aspirations. The programme has been
designed to have (i) a more restricted core content with greater
flexibility, being provided to the student as he/she chooses courses, (ii)
less lectures and more tutorials, practical and project work, (iii) laboratory
practicals forming separate courses which are de-linked from theory
courses, (iv) a compulsory course in emerging sciences and
technologies.
Apart from these structural changes, there will be more emphasis on
fundamentals in the courses and in the programmes, creative thoughts,
design, solution of open-ended problems, communication skills and to
provide necessary inputs to ensure identification with Indian realities
and goals of nation building.
The nature of the courses and their contents have been redesigned
so that they are consistent with the philosophy and basic premises of
the new curriculum. The new undergraduate curriculum has come into
effect commencing with the 2003 entry students. The complete course
structures, course contents and scheduling have been made effective
from the academic year 2003-2004.
U.G. PROGRAMMES
During the year under report the revised UG Curriculum has nearly
come to full steam with 3 batches underway. Apart from making the
courses available as per the new curriculum, some minor area programs
have also been formulated. These are as follows:
z
Computer Science & Engineering.
z
Computational Mechanics.
z
Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
z

A comprehensive review of the B.Tech. curriculum of the Institute
was initiated in December 1999 with the appointment of a Curriculum
Review Committee (CRC). The CRC took stock of the current programme
and its weaknesses were identified. The basic principles in designing
curricula, keeping the aims and objectives of U.G. education were kept
in view. The basic framework of the revised U.G. programme has since

IIT Delhi
Each minor area is defined in terms of some core courses and a list
of electives. A student needs to do 20 credits out of these courses to
earn a minor area qualification.
In order to improve the teaching infrastructure, construction of two
new lecture theatres with a capacity of 150 each has been initiated. It is
proposed to equip both these with the state-of-the-art audio visual
facilities. With increase in the student strength in the recent years, the
class sizes have become larger and the shortage of large class room has
been felt acutely. These two new lecture theatres will provide some relief
regarding this shortage.

TRAINING AND PLACEMENT (T&P)
As in the past, the Training and Placement Unit continued to plan,
organise and consolidate the Training and Placement activities for
students. It actively interacted with various industrial, technical,
management and research organisations in the country. The dual aim
of establishing this rapport is to ensure that students are given
adequate technical exposure/industrial training during their pre-final
year and subsequently get employment in organisations which match
their aspirations and objectives.
The literature of companies such as annual reports, technical
brochures, publicity material and functional requirements for fresh
graduates are made available to students in the Reference Library
being maintained in Training & Placement Office. The objective of this
Library is to enable students to appreciate the nature of working of
various industries which will ultimately be visiting the campus for
placement purposes. However, with a large amount of information
available on internet, the tendency of students to read hard copies of
literature has reduced. As in the previous year, this year the web based
placement services were implemented using internal ACSS server.
The students got all information on their desktops PCs, applied on-line
and could see the progress of their application including the final
results.
The student committees, i.e. Central Committee at the Institute
level as well as Nucleus Committees at departmental level, actively
participated in the Training & Placement activities.
Relevant data on various industrial and technical organisations was
collated, sifted and compiled. The analysis of the past training and
placement activities was presented to the students to help them decide
their future course of action. Constant liaison with industries was
maintained throughout the year to ensure that the students not only got
a job but also in an organization where their talent could be exploited.
This office also organised some pre-placement workshops, panel
discussions and career counselling talks by distinguished persons
from reputed technical, industrial, management and research
organisations for the benefit of the graduate and postgraduate students.
Some of the Institute alumni who are holding very senior positions in
private and public sector organisations were also invited to share their
personal experience with students community of the Institute.
Training
A personal dialogue with top executives of a large number of
27
IIT Delhi
industries resulted in better understanding of their functional
requirements and training activities. This effort also helped the T&P
Unit in the effective planning of summer vacation training for pre-final
year B.Tech./Dual Degree/ Integrated M.Tech. students, besides
obtaining a good number of stipends and other facilities such as
transport, accommodation etc. Quite a few industries giving excellent
training and stipends were invited to interview and select the students
prior to their training with a view to place them in the organisations at
an opportune time.
Official communication was addressed to 465 selected organisations.
The T&P unit with the active cooperation of Nucleus Committees of the
departments not only got all its requirements by the end of April, 2008
as planned but also got 49 stipends and 35 other perquisites. Detailed
instructions to students were also issued prior to the commencement
of the training programme. A gist of data regarding the pre-final year
students training is given in Appendix X (Table-1).
Placement
A letter of invitation for Campus Interviews was sent to all public or
private sector organisations and other reputed organisations in the
country including those which visited the Institute to hold campus
interviews during the last three years. They were advised to give their
publicity material in a manner best suited to the functional requirements
of students. A large number of them gave electronic copies which were
made available to the students through internal web server. This
vigorous drive resulted in requisitions being obtained from industries
for 303 profiles. Updated record of emoluments offered by various
industries available with T&P office prompted some other organisations
in revising their pay scales. Ground rules for placement evolved in
consultation with the students and faculty members led to a just and
equitable distribution of job opportunities amongst the student
community. A summary of Placement data is given below:

Research and Development Activities
This chapter is divided into two parts, one part dealing with academic
research activities mainly at the Ph.D. level and the other part dealing
with Industrial R&D, Consultancy, Interaction with Industry and
Technology Transfer, etc.
ACADEMIC RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Starting with undergraduate programme in the initial phase of its
development, the Institute established a number of postgraduate
teaching programmes in the second phase and then set out to expand
and consolidate its research activities. Besides, the academic research
carried out by the students for the Ph.D. degree, the final semester
major project included in the four-year B.Tech. programme, the fiveyear integrated M.Tech. programmes, and the four-semester M.Tech./
M.S.(R)/M.Des. programmes make a significant contribution to the
research output.
The principal source of academic research, however, continues to
be through Ph.D. research projects. With a total of 1015 students
enrolled for a research degree during the year under review (department/
centre-wise break-up of the students as on July 31, 2007 is given in
Appendix VII, Table V), the emphasis on and commitment to academic
research is evident. Admissions to the Ph.D. programme is made twice
in an academic year, first in July and then in December. From the
session 1997-98, admission to Ph.D. programme is also made in
between the semester but such candidates are allowed to take the
course work only from the next semester. During the two semesters of
2007-2008, 249 candidates were admitted out of which 79 were fulltime Institute scholars with the remaining 170 belonging to other
categories like sponsored, part-time etc. The department/centre-wise
break-up of the students admitted is given in Table III (Appendix VII).
A total of 140 theses were approved for award of the Ph.D. degree
during 2007-2008. The department/centre-wise break-up of the Ph.D.
degrees awarded is given in Table V (Appendix IX).

FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
(FITT)
“Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) was
established by the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi with the mandate for organizing a wide range of services for the industry to promote,
support and supplement Institute programmes to facilitate the process
of technology development and transfer to “market place”. Promoted
by the Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India with seed money in the Institute
for more than 16 years now. FITT, over the years has emerged as a
distinct knowledge transfer institution.
During the year 2007-08, two technology transfers at a gross value
of Rs.10.00 Lakhs (excluding royalty receivable on sales) have been
completed. 70 technology development projects worth Rs. 643.16
lakhs were contracted. 31 Nos. Professional Development Programmes
were organized primarily for industry participants at a gross value of
Rs. 80.27 lakhs. During the year, the Institute considered 41 IPR
applications out of which 29 were approved for filing. FITT organized
a number of visits by IITD faculty to industries in order to assess their
31
IIT Delhi
R&D needs so as to initiate industry relevant R&D programmes in the
Institute. FITT also instrumented several visits of overseas companies /
delegations which helped in fruitful exchanges between the visiting
delegates and the academic community of the Institute.
Under the Technology Business Incubation Unit (TBIU) scheme of
IIT Delhi, FITT facilitates nurturing of nascent technological concept /
idea into a commercially viable product / process / service 7 companies
are in place and 3 are in the waiting for allotment of space after approval
for admission in the year 2007-08. Out of 25 companies considered so
far (including 3 in waiting) in the Incubator since its inception in the year
1998, 5 IITD start-up companies have started their commercial activities after completing their incubation at the Institute and are reported
to have been growing at a steady pace.
FITT has on its roll 115 corporate members representing small/
medium/large scale industrial and R&D units. These receive preferential treatment in matters of collaboration with IIT Delhi in addition to
information and technical services that FITT provides through the
Institute’s resources.
A new program “Professional Candidate’s Registration” has been
initiated towards outreaching the academic options amongst the targeted segment. Through this program suitably qualified candidates
from the Industry and research organization can undertake relevant
professional course modules here at IIT Delhi and thus enhance their
knowledge and skill set.
FITT has been recognized as an Outreach Centre by the TePP
(Technopreneur Promotion Programme) Promotion Board of DSIR,

and psychological development of students so that they are able to
actualize their potentials. For this purpose, personal growth workshops
in specific areas such as stress management, maintaining the motivation
to succeed, as assertiveness, appearing for interviews and self
understanding through personality testing were undertaken. In addition,
a large number of students who were emotionally distressed over
personal inter-personal or academic difficulties were given psychological
counseling. A few of these students also availed of the psychiatric help
offered by the specialist from AIIMS who visited the Institute regularly.
Efforts were also made through hostel visit to reach out to students so
that they are aware of the SCS and do not hesitate to make use of its
services. The SCS also maintains a small library from which students
can borrow books of their interest in areas of personality development
self-esteem and confidence, stress time management, motivation,
yoga, class room presentation and effective decision making etc. The
well equipped relaxation now in the SCS is being used for providing
immediate relief to a highly disturbed student before commencing
