Students First

IIT Gandhinagar believes that along with a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals, the long-term success of students is determined by a holistic education that promotes overall development beyond the core curriculum. Therefore, we emphasize project-based and hands-on learning, a flexible and broad curriculum, critical thinking, cultivating leadership and communication skills, and provide opportunities to connect with Indian society as well as to learn from international exposure.

The Institute has introduced a futuristic undergraduate curriculum keeping in mind the urgent need to develop engineers and problem solvers for the 21st century that focuses on the overall development of students. Flexibility is built into the curriculum with a large number of elective courses that students can choose based on their interest, liberal branch change policies, minor programs in various topics including interdisciplinary areas, and large number of short courses offered by guest scholars.

In addition, students can sign up for the Dual Major Programme during their course of study to earn an additional BTech degree in a second branch of their choice. Students can also choose to sign up for the Dual Degree Programme that enables students to get an MTech/MSc/MA degree in a branch of their choice (possibly different from their BTech branch) in addition to the BTech degree within a reasonable duration (again by usually spending an extra year).
