I will start explaining about the course work and then will proceed with other details.
In IIT's course work curriculum is followed not class work curriculum, which means every semester courses will be offered by professors and you need to enroll in courses of your choice. So say Machine Learning course is offered, then Btech, Mtech, MSR, PHD all students can enroll in it. You will be sitting and competing with all of them during the course.
The grading system is solely dependent on the professor. Some professors use relative grading while some use absolute grading.
Here are the grading scales :-
A = 10 CGPA
A- = 9 CGPA
B = 8 CGPA
B- = 7 CGPA and so on...
Overall CGPA is the weigted average of all individual course CGPA. Like some courses would be of 4 credits and some of 3 credits.
Grading structure in each course is also dependent on the professor. The grading structure is announced by the professor at the start of the course. The general grading structure is :-
Assignments - 25% weightage
Quizes - 5% weightage
Minor 1 exams - 17.5% weightage
Minor 2 exams - 17.5% weightage
Major exams - 35% weightage
There are 2 phases of course registration.
1. Pre-registration
2. Registration
In Pre-registration phase you just select the courses you might be taking or interested in taking. You can change it at later point of time. This usually happens 2 months before the start of the semester and is conveyed to everyone through mail.
In registration(add/drop) phase, you select the courses strictly. It is always advisable to select more number of courses so that you can withdraw from any course if you don't like it. This period is generally 7-15 days in the start of the semester.
You can do 4 things with a course:-
1. Credit the course
2. Audit the course
3. Withdraw from the course
4. Sit through the course
1. Credit the course:- If you credit any course then it will be added or counted to your CGPA. By default every course you add this option is selected.
2. Audit the course:- If you audit the course the it will be not added or counted in your CGPA. You final marksheet will contain a statement that you had audited the course. The audit period is generally after minor 2 exams. This is conveyed in a separate mail to everyone. The auditing requirement is set by the professor and he would announce it in the first lecture. If not you can ask the professor about it. Some professor don't allow this option but majority do.
3. Withdrawing from a course:- Apart from dropping a course there is also another option, i.e. withdrawing from a course. You can withdraw from a course just after minor 2 if you feel your grades are not good or any other reason. There will be another separate mail regarding this. This is known as the withdrawing period. So if you add more courses during add/drop phase then it would be beneficial here.
4. Sit through the course:- You can simply go and attend the classes to learn the theory without any of the above option. Some professors don't like it, but majority of them allow.
Portal for all these activities :- https://eacademics.iitd.ac.in/sportal/login
You can access the link from IITD WIFI/LAN only.
You will get your id password after joining. Your id password would same for all purposes like wifi, lan etc...
SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS AND DISCUSSION FORUM:-
In majority of the courses you would be submitting your assignments in the moodle.
Link:- https://moodle.iitd.ac.in/login/index.php
The id password are same as previous.
For most of the courses the discussion are carried out in PIAZZA forum. Make sure to enroll in piazza forum at the start of each course. You can clear your doubts here and get help at all times.
The enrolment instructions would be provided in the course webpage by the professor. The course webpage would be announced by the professor in the first lecture.
SCHOLARSHIP/STIPEND :- You have to sign a form available in the above link every month to get your stipend. You have to sign the form during the first 10 days of every month. If you fail to do so then your stipend will come in the next month after you fill the form for the same month. No separate attendance is maintained. This is helpful and best part of IITD !!!
In case of stipend not coming in any month even if you have filled the form, immediately proceed the PG section to enquire about the same. The PG section is in the building front of central library.
Note:- If you score less than 7 CGPA then your stipend will not be credited for the next semester. So 12,400 * 6 = 74,400 rupees loss !!!
You can check your daily mails at :- https://webmail.iitd.ac.in/roundcube/
Make sure to check your mails 2-3 times a day. Better to forward it to your gmail account so that you don't miss any important mail. No one would be there to tell you personally. So you should be aware of it.
You can change your id password and also forward the mails to gmail account using the link:- https://www.cc.iitd.ac.in/usermanage/index.html
or userm.iitd.ac.in
Course Curriculum Link:- http://www.iitd.ac.in/content/curriculum-info

Forwarding the mail procedure :- Go to the above link. Go the update LDAP profile. Login using your id password. Scroll down, there will be an option "Email Forward address". Fill it with your gmail address. Hit proceed. Done !!!. It will take some time to redirect mails... It is really helpful and you should do it ...
The central library remains open on all days except the national holidays. You can go there with your ID card to read and borrow books. We CS guys hardly go there!!!
Link :- http://library.iitd.ac.in/
There is also one specific library for each department. For CS people there is a library in SIT building, ground floor infront of lift.
After joining, you should take access for Mtech Lab and GCL Lab. Mtech lab is in SIT building and GCL lab is in bharti building. You can go there to study or use the computers present there. IITD have strict plagiarism policy so make sure not to save your assignments and all there. They might be stolen and you will be punished for the same. No mercy !!!
You can get the access from Vandana Ma'am who usually sits beside the Mtech lab.
Teaching Assistant/ TA ship:-
In first semester you don't get a chance to choose subjects to be TA of but from following semester you can give your preference.
TA duty includes evaluation of minor/major papers, taking labs, taking assignment demos, grading etc. Each course would be having a fixed number of TA's. The tasks are usually distributed by the professor taking the course. You should be in touch at all times through your webmail else the professor might take strict action against you even leading to cancellation of stipend. 3-4 hours is sufficient for TA work in a week. Sometimes even less !!!
Your TA ship will be cancelled if you score below 7 CGPA !!!
Selection Of Guide for Minor/Major project:-
After your first semester(Mtech program), professors would be sending you mails regarding projects offered by them. You need to select projects and professors as per your choice and reply them. This is followed by a shortlisting and an interview. Shortlisting is usually based on CGPA, TA work if you have done under the professor etc. Interview is general background check. No technical questions are asked in general.
Some professors don't send mails. You can send them mails during the last month of 1st semester if you are interested. It is crucial that you select your guide properly. It would matter in placements too !!!
Specialisation:-
This is optional in IIT Delhi. You can still go for it. You have to do 6 credits in the relevant field and your minor/major project should be in the same field as well.
Booking a room:-
If you wish to book a room for any event like farewell, seminar, discussion etc, you can do the same at the SIT office. SIT 001 is the seminar room.
BSW Link:- http://bsw.iitd.ac.in/
Visit the above link for all details regarding settings, softwares etc etc.
You can also get some of the previous semester question papers here.
Hostels:-
Each hostel is facilitated with GYM, basket ball court, reading room, individual hostel mess, TV room, Music room etc etc. You can get the keys from the guard by submitting your ID card.
Hostel mess timings:-
Breakfast - 7:15am - 9:15am
Lunch - 12pm - 2pm
Dinner - 7pm - 9pm
You can request the mess people to save food for you in case you fail to attend on the specific timings someday or sick.
The hostel fees are deducted from the SBI account you have provided during the admissions. You can provide IITD SBI account if you have and account here or else any other outside SBI account.
In case of leaving for home you need to fill a rebate form available at the care takers office so that your food money is saved for the entire duration. You can get a maximum of 15 days rebate within a semester.
You can book hostel guest rooms for your parents or guests which costs 750 per day which includes food. Alternatively you can keep them in your own room at a charge of 400 per day including food. The guard has the required forms for the same.
You can also book the MAIN GUEST HOUSE which costs 1500 per day which has ac facilities.
In first year, 3 people in one room are there. In the final year you would get your single rooms !!!
Most of the hostels have their own night canteen. They remain open till 3am in case you feel hungry !!! I personally like Jwala and Aravali Night canteens.
SAC (Student Activity Centre):-
The SAC has a GYM, swimming pool, Table tennis court, music room, dance room, Barber Shop etc etc.
The swimming pool is generally active during the summers. You can enroll for the same. Enrolling instructions are provided through mail or you can check the notice board of SAC for the same.
Incubation cell, training and placement cell and Staff Canteen:-
The incubation cell and training and placement cell is located beside the staff canteen. You can give a visit there to know about the current start ups incubated by IITD.
The staff canteen is located beside the Department of Design. You can ask guards if you fail to find it. You can have some delicious snacks here and tea !!!
You can also try food at masala mix. It serves delicious food at affordable rates. There is also a 24x7 operating CHAAYOS beside it.
BICYCLES:-
You can purchase one bicycle at the start of the year. Many shops would be coming to sell only during this time. The cycle maintenance shop is beside the CHAAYOS.
Alternatively you can register for LETUSCYCLE and use the yellow bicycles available throughout the campus.
I have tried to summarize maximum of the things. Still a lot you need to explore on your own. Feel free to roam around and explore !!! Have a nice and interesting life ahead at IIT Delhi....
