IIT Mandi’s vision is to be leader in science and technology education, knowledge creation and innovation, in an India marching towards a just, inclusive and sustainable society. The Institute’s main campus, called Kamand Campus, is located in the picturesque Uhl river valley at Kamand, which is situated at about 15 kms from the historic town of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. Mandi is located at a distance of around 475 km from Delhi and around 200 km from Chandigarh on Delhi-Manali route. IIT Mandi is the first among new IITs to develop and use its main campus. In April 2015, the shifting of all the B.Tech students to the permanent campus in Kamand has been completed and all the major activities of IIT Mandi are now being carried out from Kamand Campus. The residential campus in the serene landscape by the river Uhl offers a world-class academic environment with a high quality of life in a setting of natural splendor.

The first semester starts in early August and ends by end of November/early December. The second semester runs from February to June. The Institute offers B.Tech. programs in: 1) Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) 2) Electrical Engineering (EE) 3) Mechanical Engineering (ME) 4) Civil Engineering (CE) 5) Data Science and Engineering (DSE) 6) Engineering Physics (EP) and 7) B.Tech-M.Tech Integrated Dual Degree in Bio-Engineering (Bio). The current intake in B.Tech. programme, including female supernumerary, is 282 (CE:42, CSE:60, EE:58, ME:50, DSE: 24, EP: 24 & Bio:24). The academic program has been innovatively developed and is offered by the following four schools: School of Computing and Electrical Engineering, School of Engineering, School of Basic Sciences and School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The organization of the institute into schools rather than into traditional departments is for enabling the evolution of a flexible curriculum with an emphasis on interdisciplinary capabilities. These four schools also run individual research based postgraduate programs. Currently, IIT Mandi offers the following Post Graduate Programs: 1) M.Tech. in Energy Engineering with specialization in Materials 2) M.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Energy Systems 3) M.Tech. in Electrical Engineering with specialization in VLSI 4) M.Tech. in Communications and Signal Processing 5) M.Tech. in Power Electronics and Drives 6) M.Tech. in Biotechnology 7) M.Sc. in Chemistry 8) M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics 9) M.Sc. in Physics 10) Integrated-Ph.D. (I-Ph.D.) in Physics 11) M.Tech in Structural Engineering 12) M.Tech in VLSI 13) M.A. in Development Studies Currently, besides 621 undergraduate B.Tech. students, IIT Mandi has 332 research scholars, of which 46 are doing MS degree (by research) and 286 are pursuing PhD in Engineering, Basic Sciences and Humanities and Social Sciences. In addition, several M.S./Ph.D. scholars are pursuing research in Part Time/ERP mode. Also, some Post-Doctoral Fellows are working at IIT Mandi contributing to the research. Five Week Induction Program for B.Tech Students IIT Mandi is organizing a 5-week Induction Program (5WIP) for the incoming batch of B.Tech students from 1st of August 2017. The program aims to help students acclimatize to their new environment, rediscover the joy of learning, absorb curricular material and the institutional ethos with greater ease, and enrich the quality of faculty-student interactions in the years to come. Various activities have been designed for these five weeks, with the https://josaa.nic.in/seatinfo/root/InstProfile.aspx?instcd=103 1/9 26/08/2019 https://josaa.nic.in/seatinfo/root/InstProfile.aspx?instcd=103 objective of helping all students engage in self-reflection, gain proficiency in essential skills expected in engineering students, understand what is engineering, explore their creative selves, and build healthy lifestyles. The activities are categorized into the following broad areas: 1) Proficiency Courses in Computers, English & Communication and Visual Thinking. 2) Exploring Engineering 3) Human Values 4) Soft Skills 5) Extra-Curricular Activities (Sports and the Creative Arts) 6) Social Awareness Activities 7) Evening Activities (Informal interactions, student clubs, and invited lectures) IIT Mandi hopes that by the end of the five-week Induction Program students will be well-equipped to make the most of their four years at IIT Mandi, transitioning from young adults to socially responsible engineers and good citizens in the process. About the B.Tech Curriculum at IIT Mandi The B.Tech curriculum is designed keeping in mind the need to produce well-rounded graduates many of whom will go on to join industry in technical or managerial roles, or to join the administrative services as technocrats, while a few may aspire to research careers. Some may even go on to become entrepreneurs. Thus, at IIT Mandi, the students are exposed to a broad range of knowledge and skills that will enable them to perform well in tomorrow’s increasingly complex and inter-dependent world. A B.Tech. student at IIT Mandi will study foundation courses in basic sciences, engineering sciences and practice, humanities and social sciences. In the chosen discipline, besides studying the core courses, the student will also study elective courses which will enable them to develop significant knowledge in a specialized area with exposure to research trends and developments. The category of free/open electives outside the chosen discipline will enable the student to obtain significant inter-disciplinary knowledge. The student can consult a ‘Faculty Advisor’ with regard to the planning of curriculum and other academic issues. In addition, the curriculum allows specialization in a ‘Minor’ area, by taking a set of 3-4 courses in another discipline. For example, a Mechanical Engineering student can qualify for a minor in Applied Physics, German language, Intelligent Systems, Thermo-fluid Systems, Device Materials/Structural Materials, Thermo fluid systems. The B. Tech. degree program allows a student to go on exchange visits of up to two semesters to other universities, both in India and abroad, for course work and projects. A number of B. Tech. students have already availed these opportunities to study at international institutions. IIT Mandi’s undergraduate students have visited IIT Madras and several European Union (EU) institutions under academic exchange program including the TU9 Universities in Germany, Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden, Aalto University in Finland and IT University in Denmark. An important aspect of the curriculum is the integration of innovation and design into the learning process. This is achieved through a ‘Design Practicum’ model of learning by doing, which is built into the curriculum. Thus, in the first year of the B.Tech program, the student carries out a ‘reverse engineering’ project, where student teams dismantle a common gadget/equipment, understand how it works and then put it back together in working order! In the third year of their B.Tech. programme, IIT Mandi students have the option of taking ‘Interactive Socio-Technical Practicum’ (ISTP) as an elective course. This course exposes students to the complex interactions of technology and society, and familiarizes them with the necessity of taking stakeholders’ needs and opinions into account while formulating technical solutions. As part of ISTP, students work in groups of 5-6 under the mentorship of a faculty member to assess and evaluate societal problems. They conduct interviews and surveys, and conduct assessment and feasibility exercises with stakeholder participation. The report of each team is published in the ISTP booklet and available on the Institute website for policymakers to read. Every year, a group of over 20 students from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), USA, visits IIT Mandi and joins IIT Mandi students in completing ISTP projects. The course thus has an inter-disciplinary and international collaboration component. Finally, during the fourth year, the students have the option of doing a Major Technical Project (MTP) either individually or in a group. MTP is the capstone of the 4-year B. Tech programme. The project is expected to have a major technical contribution in the student's discipline and is intended to demonstrate a high degree of technical knowledge, innovativeness and maturity. The outcome of a B. Tech Project may be an innovative product or technology that addresses a problem of society, or it may be more theoretical or exploratory resulting in an advancement in the frontiers of knowledge.
