1. INTRODUCTIONThe Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Institute ofTechnology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU), Varanasi,and Indian School of Mines University (ISMU), Dhanbad areinstitutions of national importance. These institutes play aleading role in technological manpower development andhave excellent research programmes. The admissions tothe Undergraduate Programmes for all Indian and Foreignnationals at these institutions are made through the JointEntrance Examination (JEE).

All these institutions are known for providing quality educationin science and technology and for research in frontier areas.The environment at these institutions is highly conducive for

building a solid foundation of knowledge,

development of personality, confidence building, self-discipline and pursuit of excellence,

enhancement of creativity, motivation and drive.

All of the above help to prepare the students admitted tothese institutions for successful professional and social lives.Today, alumni of these institutions occupy key positions inindustry and academia in India and abroad.

Each institute has state of the art laboratories, computernetworks, library and access to digital library resources.Teaching methods rely on direct personal contact betweenthe teacher and the students along with the use of traditionaland modern instructional techniques. Students live in apleasant and intellectually stimulating environment withpeople having similar goals and aspirations hence providingan exciting and unique experience.

Credit-based academic programmes offer flexibility tostudents to progress at their own pace. A minimum level ofperformance is necessary for satisfactory progress. Themedium of instruction is English. These institutions offercourses leading to Bachelor’s degree in a number ofengineering, technological and scientific disciplines.

M.Sc. Integrated courses in pure and applied sciences andM.Tech. Integrated courses in a few disciplines are alsooffered by most of these institutes. In addition, most institutesoffer Dual Degree M.Tech. programmes wherein both B.Tech.and M.Tech. degrees are awarded at the end of theprogramme. The number of seats available in each institutefor various courses through JEE-2009 for various categoriesof students is given in Table-1 (Page 56).

1.1. ADMISSIONS THROUGH JEE 2009 :NEW DEVELOPMENTS

1.1.1 Admissions to New IITs

In 2008, The Govt. of India decided to set up eight new IITsduring the 11th Five Year Plan. The admissions to the courses

in six of these IITs for the academic session 2008-09 weremade through JEE-2008. In addition to these six IITs, locatedin Punjab, Rajasthan, Patna, Bhubaneswar, Gandhinagar andHyderabad, the admissions to the courses at the other twonewly established IITs located in Mandi (Himachal Pradesh)and Indore will be made through JEE-2009. The coursesavailable at these IITs are given in Table 1.

1.1.2 Allotment of seats to PD Candidates

Allotment of seats to selected candidates with PhysicalDisablilities (subcategory PD) belonging to differentcategories, i.e., GE, OBC(NC), SC and ST, will be madecategory-wise in JEE-2009. Up to 3% of the total seatsavailable to each category in each of the institutes will bemade available to the PD candidates. Since the number ofseats for a particular category in a course is small and so 3%becomes less than 1, PD seats are being allotted randomlyin an institute to different courses and categories, keepingthe overall percentage of reservations 3% in each institute ineach category.

These seats will be allotted to PD candidates according totheir categories, ranks in the category-wise PD merit listsand the course choices submitted. Since allotment of at leastone seat in every course in every institute to PD candidateswill lead to more than 3% reservation, these PD seats will beallotted to different categories over the years on a roster basis.

This year, the seats available to PD candidates belonging todifferent categories are given in Table 1.

1.1.3 Filling up of vacant seats by the IndividualInstitutes after admissions throughCounselling of JEE-2009

Each of the participating institutes will take measures to fillup the seats which fall vacant in the respective institutes.Candidates who are allotted seats through JEE-2009 shouldregister at the respective institutes on the day of registrationas given in the back page of this Counselling Brochure, failingwhich the seat allotted to him/her will be treated as unfilled.Such unfilled seats will be first re-allotted within the instituteamong the candidates who have already registered in theinstitute on the basis of their Ranks in JEE-2009 (studentswill "slide up" within the institute to fill up the vacant seats).The seats which remain vacant in the institute after thisprocess will be filled up by the institute by selectingcandidates from the list of candidates who are counseledbut not allotted seats in any of the institutes. Notifications tothis effect will be made in websites of the respective institutesat appropriate time. Please note that all allocations will bebased on the choices given by the candidates at the time ofcounselling. Further, any candidate who is allotted a seat inan institute in the second round will not be eligible for anyfurther allotment.

1.2 VERIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS ANDSUBMISSION OF CHOICE SHEET

It is mandatory for all successful candidates to attend the“Verification of Identity and Counselling” session in person.In case a candidate is unable to attend in person because ofserious illness, he/she can authorize in writing, his/her parentor guardian to attend the session as per schedule and fill-inthe required forms on his/her behalf. In such a case, theparent/guardian must bring a medical certificate from aRegistered Medical Practitioner stating that the candidatecannot attend the counselling session in person. In addition,the parent/guardian must bring all the required documentsmentioned in this brochure.

The main purpose of asking the candidates to appear in personis to verify their identity. Hence, the candidates must bringtheir JEE-2009 admit cards and documents necessary forverifying their identity, age and category along with the marksheet of qualifying examination, all in original with twophotocopies of each. The rules of eligibility for admissionof candidates will be the same as that given in Section 7 ofthe Information Brochure of JEE-2009. The details of otherdocuments required to be brought by the candidate are givenon the inside front cover of this brochure. On failing to establishthe authenticity of any of the above documents, the candidatewill not be considered for admission. Candidates who qualify inPD subcategory will have to appear before a special MedicalBoard at IIT Delhi or IIT Madras.

After checking their identity and documents, the candidateswill be asked to submit their choice sheets of courses andinstitutes. The counselling brochure has been provided tohelp the candidates exercise their option judiciously. SomeIIT faculty may also be available for consultation. Prior toappearing for counselling, candidates are advised to visit thewebsites of the institutes for more detailed information.

After the qualified candidates have exercised their choiceduring counselling, seat allocation will be done centrally on alater date on the basis of All India Rank (AIR) and choicesexercised by the candidates. There is no provision for instantseat allocation at the time of counselling.

The choices given by the candidates during the counsellingsession are final and cannot be changed at a later time. Intheir own interest candidates must fill in a sufficiently largenumber of choices of courses in the decreasing order ofpreference. As allotment is purely based on the AIR of thecandidate and the order of choice of courses, a candidatewho fills in an insufficient number of choices may not beallotted a seat in any of the institutes.

To take care of possible dropouts, the number of candidatescalled for counselling is more than the number of seatsavailable in IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISMU Dhanbad. Thefact that an applicant has qualified in JEE-2009 and has beencalled for identity verification and counselling does not

guarantee admission to him/her. Whether or not a candidatewill get a seat will depend on the candidate’s AlR, his/herchoice of courses/institutes and the number of seats.

Requests for changing the scheduled date of counselling willnot be entertained. Under exceptional medical requirements,a change of the place for the scheduled counselling may bepermitted at the discretion of the Organizing Chairman. Forsuch a change, a fee of Rs. 500/- (Rs. 250/- for SC/STcandidates) will be charged.

Candidates will not be paid any travelling or other allowancesfor attending counselling. However, candidates belonging tothe SC, ST and PD categories will be paid second class/sleeper class return railway fare from the place of their normalresidence to the place of counselling.

Candidates called for counselling may, wherever possible,be provided boarding and lodging facilities by the instituteson payment of charges.

Candidates must deposit Rs. 15000/- (Rs. 8000/- for SC/ST/PD candidates) in the beginning of the counsellingsession. This includes a handling fee of Rs. 300/- (Rs. 200/- for SC/ST/PD candidates). The balance of Rs. 14700/- (Rs.7800/- for SC/ST/PD candidates) will be adjusted towardsfees of the first semester at the institute where the candidateis offered admission. Those who are not offered admissionfor any course at any institute according to their choices willbe entitled to the refund of the balance amount.

As mentioned above, the seats will be filled exclusively on thebasis of AIRs of the eligible candidates under each category,taking into account the choices exercised by them. Forexample, a candidate with AIR 558 will be considered for seatallotment after all candidates with AIR less than or equal to557 have been considered for seat allotment. For everycandidate, if his/her first choice is available, he/she is allottedthat choice. Otherwise further choices, strictly in order of thedeclared preferences in the choice sheet, are considered. Thehighest choice available is allotted to the candidate and allsubsequent choices are ignored. If the candidate does notgive sufficient choices, he/she may not get any seat.

It may, however, be mentioned that the final seat allocationis not done during counselling. On the day of counsellingonly the duly filled-in choice sheets are collected from thecandidates.

There may be announcements of likely closure of seats on aday-to-day basis during counselling. A course is announcedas closed when the number of candidates who have opted forthe course is greater than the number of available seats. Oneach day, the list of such courses may be made available tothe candidates attending the counselling. The purpose of theseannouncements is not to discourage candidates from givingchoices from this list, it is rather to inform the candidates thatthey should fill in enough number of other courses as well inaddition to the courses announced as closed. It may also be

3

noted that a second round of admissions will take place andso some of these closed courses may have vacancies lateron due to candidates not joining.

Although there is a provision for change of branch within theinstitute where the candidate is admitted, candidates areadvised not to count on such possibilities while filling up thechoice sheet. The rules for branch change for differentinstitutes are given in Chapter 2. However, change ofInstitute is not allowed under any circumstances.

The admitting institute will dispatch “Letters of Admission” tothe candidates by July 6, 2009. The seat allotment informationwill also be available on respective websites of the IITs.

1.3 PHYSICAL FITNESS AND MEDICALEXAMINATION

Each candidate must bring a Medical Examination Reportfrom a registered medical practitioner, in the prescribedformat given in annexure A3 at the end of this brochure.Candidates will be admitted only if they are physically fit forpursuing a course of study at the participating institutes.

In the case of PD candidates, the degree of physical handicap,as well as their fitness to undergo the course of study in whichadmission is sought will be certified by a duly constitutedSpecial Medical Board. The PD candidates must report forcounselling at IIT Delhi or IIT Madras on the day as mentionedin the counselling letter and appear before the Medical Board.

Courses in Mining Engineering and Mining MachineryEngineering and related courses (Courses 28, 29 and 109,110 and 111 of Table 1) have additional prescribed standardsof fitness.

Candidates must make sure that they meet these standardsif they opt for these courses. The responsibility for ensuringthis is entirely the candidate’s. In case a candidate does notmeet these requirements but opts for these courses and isallotted one of them, his/her admission will be cancelled lateron. In all such cases the candidate will have no claim for anyother course of study in any of the institutes.

1.4 VARIOUS COURSES AND AVAILABILITY OFSEATS

The descriptions of the courses available in the differentinstitutes have been given in Chapter 3. The chapter isfollowed by two tables. Table 1 gives the unique codes for

various courses to be filled in the Choice Sheet. For example,the course code for Aerospace Engineering at IIT Bombay isB01. In the line below the code of each course, the numbersof seats available in that course for the categories GE, OBC,SC, ST, respectively, are given. The line at the bottom givesthe availability of PD seats. Table 2 (Page 66) provides theopening and closing All India Ranks of the previous year forvarious courses (except for those added this year). Theseranks are given only to give an idea as to how the courseallotment had taken place last year.

Such students may be required to undergo specialcourses in case they are found to have inadequate background.

The Institute follows a credit system. Credits are allotted tovarious courses depending on the number of lectures,tutorials and laboratory hours per week. The student’s

5

performance in a course is continuously evaluated throughoutthe semester and culminates in the award of Grade on a 10-point scale. Performance in a semester is evaluated in termsof the weighted average of grade points secured in all thecourses registered in that semester, which is known asSemester Performance Index (SPI). A CumulativePerformance Index (CPI) is the weighted average of the gradepoints obtained in all the courses registered by the studentsince they entered the Institute. The teaching programmesare characterized by their flexibility and informality. The strongfaculty-student interaction on the residential campus providesopportunity to students to work on seminars, publication andprojects sponsored by the industry and national agencies.

IITGN is temporarily located at the Vishwakarma GovernmentEngineering College (VGEC), at Chandkheda, on Visat –Koba - Gandhinagar Highway, approximately 10 km fromSardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport and 14 km fromAhmadabad Railway Station. Public transport facilities arereadily available to reach Chandkheda from both the airportand the railway station.

Academic Programmes

The Institute presently offers the following academicprogrammes

4 year B.Tech. Degree programme

Ph.D. Programme.

Initially, three B.Tech. degree programmes viz. ChemicalEngineering, Electrical Engineering and MechanicalEngineering have been started with the academic session2008-09. The total sanctioned intake for these programmesis 120 students, 40 for each discipline. The Ph.D. programmewill be offered with effect from the academic session 2009-10.

IITGN follows a specialized semester based academic system.There are two semesters in an academic year (Autumn –

8

July-Nov; and Spring – January-April). Students are requiredto follow the laid down procedures and meet the academicrequirements of each semester to progress in their respectiveprogramme of study. The academic programmes of theinstitute are governed by Rules and Regulations approved bythe Academic Council from time to time. The Academic Councilis currently the supreme empowered body that governs allacademic matters. The ruling of Chairman, Academic Councilis final in regard to any academic matter. The Academic Councilcontinuously monitors the academic programmes and makesappropriate modifications and improvements as and whenrequired. The Council also finalizes the academic calendarevery year for various academic activities.

In general a certain quantum of academic work measured interms of credits is laid down as the requirement for a particulardegree. A student earns credits by satisfactorily passingcourses and engaging in other academic activities everysemester, as specified by the individual department. TheCourses of Study bulletin lists the course work as per thefollowing conventions. The credit associated with a course isa number which depends upon the number of hours ofinstruction per week in that course. Similarly the creditassociated with any of the other activities is dependent uponthe quantum of work expected to be put in for that activity perweek. Courses are broadly classified as Theory courses andLaboratory Courses. Theory courses consist of lecture (L) andtutorial (T) hours, but may have attached practical (P) hours inspecial cases. Laboratory courses consist of practical hours,but may have attached tutorial hours in special cases. Credit(C) for a course is dependent on the number of hours ofinstruction per week in that course, and is obtained by using amultiplier of two (2) for lecture and tutorial hours, and a multiplierof one (1) for laboratory hours. Thus, for example, a theorycourse having two lectures and one tutorial per weekthroughout the semester carries a credit of 6. Similarly, alaboratory course having one tutorial and three laboratory hoursper week throughout semester carries a credit of 5. Academicactivities such as Seminar and Project carry their speciallyassigned credits depending on the quantum of expected work.There are other academic activities such as Practical Training(PT), Works Visit and NSO/NSS/NCC, which are non-creditbut mandatory requirements which must be fulfilled forsuccessful completion of the programme of study.

Facilities

IITGN is temporarily housed at VGEC, Chandkheda,Gandhinagar. However, the academic infrastructure such asclassrooms, laboratories, faculty offices, library, medicalfacilities, etc. have been created and established exclusivelyfor the use of IITGN students and faculty.

114. OCEAN ENGINEERING AND NAVALARCHITECTURE

Ocean Engineering in its broadest sense is concerned with allengineering systems in the ocean. This includes systems forexploration and exploitation of the vast oceanic resources suchas offshore oil and gas, sea-bed minerals, biological resourceslike marine and sea food, etc. Ocean Engineering also involvessystems that utilize the ocean for transportation andrecreational purpose like ships and marine vehicles of differentvariety, submarine and underwater vehicles, pleasure crafts,floating resorts, etc. Yet another important component of oceanengineering is related to sea-coasts and its protection, andmarine hazards and its mitigation through engineeringsolutions. In short, any system that uses the ocean, operatesin the ocean or related to the ocean in some sense falls underthe purview of an Ocean Engineer. Naval Architecture, animportant branch of Ocean Engineering, deals primarily withocean transportation systems such as ships. Due to its historicimportance, Naval Architecture stands out as a separate entity,and a Naval Architect is primarily engaged in the process ofship design in the widest sense of the word ‘design’. OceanEngineering and Naval Architecture encompasses subjectssuch as marine hydrodynamics, water wave mechanics, designof marine structures, structural mechanics related to marinestructures, marine construction and welding, coastalengineering, etc.

In the five years of this dual degree M.Tech. course, thestudents can specialize in any of the broad area of OceanEngineering and Naval Architecture such as marine and oceanhydrodynamics, marine structures, design and constructionof marine vehicles etc. through project and specialized courses.The prolonged period of project work provides an opportunityto the student to gain expertise in one of these broad areas.

Employment opportunities of Ocean Engineers and NavalArchitects exist in various offshore industry, shipbuilding andship repairing yards, marine classification societies and othergovernment regulatory bodies dealing with marine systems,Navy and Coast Guard, coastal engineering companies,Naval Defense R&D, environmental protection agencies forcoastal protection, etc. Being multidisciplinary in nature,students from this program generally receive a broadengineering background, and this helps finding employmentin other allied engineering fields as well includingmanagement and IT industry.
