r/IITDelhi

As a senior, I feel the first few months at IIT Delhi shape a lot of your college experience. You don't have to do everything, but if you can, try to:

1. Join at least one club or board (don't overcommit).

2. Participate in a hackathon, coding contest, case competition, research project, design challenge, or any event that matches your interests.

3. Explore the campus and its iconic spots—Amul Tea Corner, CCD Rajdhani, Nalanda, SAC, and your hostel canteens. Also check out nearby places like Hauz Khas Village, Satya Niketan, and SDA Market.

4. Talk to people outside your hostel, branch, and batch. Some of the best friendships happen this way.

5. Build genuine connections with seniors—they can help with academics, internships, research, placements, and navigating campus life.

6. Attend Rendezvous, Tryst, hostel nights, board events, and departmental fests.

7. Network with students from other IITs, NITs, and colleges during competitions and festivals.

8. Say yes to random plans once in a while—late-night chai at Amul, coffee at CCD Rajdhani, hostel rooftop conversations, or a 2 AM campus walk often become your best memories.

9. Find a study group before quizzes and midsems begin.

10. Get familiar with the Central Library, SAC, Sports Complex, lecture halls, labs, and makerspaces.

11. Click lots of pictures around Dogra Hall, Main Building, Jwalamukhi lawns, and your hostel before everything starts feeling "normal."

12. Try something you've never done before—public speaking, organizing events, open-source, entrepreneurship, music, dramatics, dance, or volunteering.

13. Start building your skills early—projects, research, competitive programming, design, finance, or whatever excites you. Don't chase your resume at the cost of enjoying college.

Maintain a balance between academics, extracurriculars, fitness, and sleep. Burnout isn't a badge of honor.

You don't need to have your whole life figured out in your first semester. Just stay curious, meet people, take initiative, and make the most of everything IIT Delhi has to offer.

Bonus: Your CGPA matters, but so do your skills, projects, friendships, memories, and experiences. The people you meet and the things you build often stay with you much longer than any grade.

Any EWS candidate withdrawing from DMS IIT Delhi or withdrew after 2 July ?

I'm off campus rn (joining this sem), and for some other purpose I need to be able to see the coursework schedule now itself.

Is https://classgrid.devclub.in/course-explorer correct in terms of class timings for the upcoming semester?

Because the only other way to access is via the intranet which I don't have access to yet.

Thanks.

Hey everybody. Got in but now I'm stressing over something dumb lol. reporting day is on 20th and orientation is on 21st. I live in delhi itself so my brain is just stuck on that do I lug all my clothes and stuff on the 20th, or do I show up light on the 20th and bring everything on the 21st instead? Like when does hostel life actually start. Is it the 20th or the 21st?

Anyone who's been through this, please save me lol.

Delhi material science vs Kanpur aerospace?

I am joining civil engineering this year , seniors please guide as reporting date is 20 july what should I do before that any pre requisite you think I should do before joining

I genuinely want to know who he is (I know he is probably in CS second year from his messages and I am also going into second year at IITD). He is so active on this sub and seems very very helpful and a genuinely nice person. Any way I can know who he is 🥲 ? (Don't want to DM before knowing who it is)

I received an offer letter for the MA course on June 29th and paid the fee on July 2nd but I still haven't received any welcome or confirmatory mail by the college. I saw the orientation schedule of 18th and the classes are to start from the 23rd but I still needed some sort of confirmation from the college itself. It'll be difficult to get tickets if they send it late. I need a hostel too. What can I do?

Hello everyone. I’m a fresher joining IIT Delhi soon. I had some free time and ended up thinking about campus life and my thoughts wandered to relationships. I’ve never been in a relationship before but I want to experience it in college.

So I wanted to ask the seniors here. how are relationships on campus? Also how difficult is it to balance relationships with academics at IITD?
