1. ADMISSIONS THROUGH JEE (ADVANCED) 2013

1.1 INTRODUCTION Indian Institutes of Technology are institutions of national importance established through an Act of Parliament for fostering excellence in education. There are sixteen IITs at present, located at Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mandi, Mumbai, Patna, Ropar, Roorkee and Varanasi These institutes, along with Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad, play a leading role in technological manpower development. The admissions to the Undergraduate Programmes for the academic year 2013-2014 for all Indian and Foreign nationals at these institutions are made through the JEE (Advanced)-2013 M. Sc. Integrated courses in pure and applied sciences and M.Tech. Integrated courses in few disciplines are also offered by many of these institutes. In addition, most institutes offer Dual Degree M.Tech. programmes wherein both B.Tech. and M.Tech. degrees are awarded at the end of the programme. 1.2 NUMBER OF SEATS AVAILABLE AND SEAT RESERVATION POLICY The number of seats available in each institute for various courses through JEE (Advanced)-2013 are given in Table-1. Table-2 gives Institute-wise list of the courses offered and total seats. The details of fees at the institutes are given in Table-3. The following reservation policy is followed for admission to various courses: 27% seats are reserved for OBC (non-creamy layer) 15% for SC and 7.5% for ST category candidates. Allotment of seats to qualified persons with Physical Disabilities (PwD) belonging to different categories, i. e., GE, OBC(NCL), SC, and ST will be made category-wise in JEE(Advanced)-2013. Up to 3% of the total seats available in each category in each of the institutes will be made available to the PwD candidates. These seats will be allotted to PwD candidates according to their categories, ranks in the category-wise PwD merit list and the choice sheet of courses submitted. As the allotment of a seat in every course in every institute to PwD candidates will lead to more than 3% reservation, the PwD seats will be allotted to different categories over the years on a roster basis. This year, the seats available to PwD candidates belonging to different categories are also given in Table-1. Two seats are available for preferential allotment in each institute for children of defence/ paramilitary personnel killed or permanently disabled in action during war or peace time operations (DS). Candidates claiming a DS seat should submit the original certificate issued by the competent authority in the Directorate of Resettlement and Rehabilitation, New Delhi under the Ministry of Defence or Ministry of Home affairs, Government of India. 1.1 Counselling for Shortlisted Candidates

Candidates shortlisted for counselling to the IITs/ ISM Dhanbad will pass through following stages, namely 1. Online registration 2. Online choice filling 3. Online seat allotment 4. Online Provisional admission (Candidates must physically present at the respective zonal IITs for certificate verification and fee payment) In addition, Candidates shortlisted for counselling and desirous of joining the B.Arch. course (Codes: G5101 and R5101) will be required to qualify in an Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT-2013). The AAT-2013 will be held on Friday, June 28th, 2013 at seven Zonal IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee). The AAT-2013 will be of three hours duration, from 9.00 AM to 12.00 noon. Candidates must bring their original JEE (Advanced)-2013 Admit Card with them to appear in the AAT-2013. Candidates who fail to qualify in this Aptitude Test will not be eligible for admission to B.Arch. courses. Syllabus for the test is given in the JEE (Advanced)-2013 Information Brochure Candidates desirous of appearing for this AAT-2013 must register for the test center where they wish to write this test by visiting http://jee.iitd.ac.in between June 24-26, 2013.

1.3.1 Step-by-Step Procedure for the Counselling Process Step 1: Online registration A candidate shortlisted for counselling for admission to the IITs and ISM Dhanbad should visit the JEE(Advanced)-2013 Online Counselling Portal, JCOP at http://jee.iitd.ac.in/ to get a User ID and register any time between June 24-30, 2013 (7 days). The candidate will be required to provide some JEE(Advanced)-2013 related personal information and prompted for a password, which is required for all subsequent visits to the JCOP. Step 2: Online choice filling After registration, shortlisted candidates are permitted to enter the JCOP site to fill the course choices. Course choice filling is open till 5 PM on June 30, 2013. Candidates can fill in as many numbers of choices in the order of preference from the list of available seats. Candidates are permitted, if they so desire, to change or re-order their choices, delete earlier choices and add new choices any number of times until they lock their final choices. Choices should be positively locked before 5 PM on June 30, 2013. If candidates fail to explicitly lock their choices by 5 PM, June 30, 2013, their choices will be automatically locked after this deadline. If for some reason access to the JCOP is denied, an online request may be submitted to the JEE helpline (jeeadv@admin.iitd.ac.in) for gaining access. The last date for receiving such a request is 5 PM, June 29, 2013. The course allocation for a candidate is done strictly on the basis of the all India rank (AIR) he/she gets based on the performance in JEE(Advanced)-2013 as well as the courses he/she selects in order of preference during Counselling For example, a candidate with AIR 558 will be allotted a seat after all candidates with AIR less than or equal to 557 have been allotted one. For every candidate, if his/her first choice is available, he/she is allotted that choice. Otherwise further choices, strictly in order of the declared preferences in the choice sheet, are considered. The highest choice available is allotted to the candidate and all subsequent choices are ignored. If the candidate does not fill sufficient number of courses as choices, he/she may not get any course allotment, especially in the case where the candidate has low AIR. The choices locked by the candidate in JCOP are final and cannot be changed

at a later stage. Thus, in their own interest, candidates must fill in a sufficiently large number of choices of courses in the decreasing order of preference. Courses in Mining Engineering and Mining Machinery Engineering and related courses (Codes: G4130, S4130, V4130, S4131, G5247, S5247, V5247, G5248 and S5402 in Table 1) have additional prescribed standards of fitness. These candidates should be free from colour blindness and the standard of visual acuity with or without glasses should be as per DGMS Circular 14 of 1972 (the distant vision of eye with or without glasses should be not less than 6/6 for better eye and 6/9 for worse eye). The candidates with one-eyed vision are also not eligible for these courses. In addition, candidates seeking admission in Petroleum Engineering related Courses and M.Sc. Tech. Applied Geology (Codes: S4134, S5252 and S5701) should also be free from colour blindness. Candidates must make sure that they meet these standards if they opt for these courses. The responsibility for ensuring this is entirely the candidates. In case a candidate does not meet these requirements but opts for these courses and is allotted one of them, his/her admission will be cancelled later on. In all such cases the candidate will have no claim for any other course of study in any of the institutes. ISM Dhanbad does not admit women candidates in the Mining Engineering, Mining Machinery Engineering and related courses (Codes: S4130, S4131, S5247, and S5402 in Table 1).Women candidates are eligible to opt for Mining Engineering at IIT Kharagpur and IIT(BHU), Varanasi (Codes:G4130, V4130, G5247, V5247 and G5248 in Table 1), provided they fulfill the special medical requirements as mentioned above. Women candidates opting for these courses may also note that Section 46(1) of the Mines Act, 1952 states that No women shall, notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, be employed (a) in any part of a mine which is below ground, (b) in any mine above ground except between the hours 6 AM and 7 PM. To take care of the possibility that some candidates may not take the admission, the number of candidates considered for online seat allotment is kept more than the number of seats available in the participating institutes. Therefore, short listing for online Counselling on qualification in JEE(Advanced)-2013 does not guarantee admission.

Step 3: Online seat allotment Table 5 : Reporting date for provisional admission There are three rounds of course allocation in JEE (Advanced)-2013. The first round of course allotment will be declared on the JCOP on July 4, 2013, the second round of course allotment on July 9, 2013, and the third round of course allotment on July 13 , 2013. At the end of every round a candidate should visit the JCOP site to know about the course allotted to him/her. This allotment can change in the subsequent rounds to a choice better than the one allotted in the earlier round depending on the number of candidates declining the seats offered to them in the earlier round. In no case will a candidate be allotted a choice lower in her/his list in a round than what is allotted during the previous rounds. The course allotted at the end of third round of course-allocation is final. There is no provision to freeze the course allotted to the candidate at the end of the first or second rounds. Beyond 30 June, 2013, no fresh choice filling will be permitted, registered candidates will not be allowed to alter or resubmit their choices. Seats will be allotted against the available vacancies in the respective rounds and results will be available on the web site. Candidate must take a printout of the course allotment.

It is reputed for the quality of its faculty and the outstanding calibre of the students graduating from its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Today the Institute is recognized as a centre of academic and research excellence offering engineering,

science, management and humanities education on a par with the best in the world. Located at Powai, in the metropolitan city of Mumbai, the industrial and economic capital of India, the IIT campus extends over 500 acres of verdant land, nestled between hills and flanked by Powai and Vihar lakes. The campus is located on the north-east part of Mumbai, about 30 km from the main railway stations and about 15 km from the airports. The Institute offers a large number of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in engineering, science, management and humanities. It has a total of fifteen academic departments, one school, four centres and four interdisciplinary programmes which together constitute the academic fabric of the Institute. The institute has well-equipped laboratories and workshops, and also excellent computer facilities in all the departments in addition to a central Computer Centre. It also houses one of the finest technical libraries in the country. About 3656 students are on roll in the undergraduate programmes and 4671 in the postgraduate (including Doctoral) programmes. This includes a number of foreign students. The faculty strength is about 500. IIT Bombay follows a semester system. An academic year (July-April) consists of two semesters, each of approximately 16 weeks duration. The first semester begins in the last week of July and ends by the last week of November. The second semester starts in the first week of January and ends by the last week of April. In each of the two semesters of the first year, a student is required to register for all the courses listed in the curriculum for that semester. Students belonging to the SC/ST category and students who are identified as academically weak at the end of the first semester may be prescribed a specially worked-out Reduced Load Programme (RLP). Such students may be required to undergo special courses in case they are found to have inadequate background. 7

The Institute follows a credit system. Credits are allotted to various courses depending on the number of lectures, tutorials and laboratory hours per week. The students performance in a course is continuously evaluated throughout the semester and culminates in the award of Grade on a 10point scale. Performance in a semester is evaluated in terms of the weighted average of grade points secured in all the courses registered in that semester, which is known as Semester Performance Index (SPI). A Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses registered by the student since they entered the Institute. The teaching programmes are characterized by their flexibility and informality. The strong faculty-student interaction on the residential campus provides opportunity to students to work on seminars, publication and projects sponsored by the industry and national agencies. To students admitted through IIT-JEE 2012, IIT Bombay offers the following undergraduate and postgraduate programmes: B.Tech Dual Degree (B.Tech. + M.Tech.) 5-year Integrated M.Sc. The B.Tech. programme consists of eight semesters spread over four years, and the Dual Degree M.Tech. and Integrated M.Sc. programmes consist of 10 semesters spread over five years. In the Dual Degree M.Tech. programme, a B.Tech. degree of the parent department and an M.Tech. degree of a specialization within the parent department is given at the end of fifth year. In the undergraduate programmes, a Minor is awarded to a student for completing, in addition to the minimum requirement of 250 credits, a prescribed set of courses from departments other than that in which the student is enrolled for his basic B.Tech. programme. Similarly, Honours is awarded to students completing a prescribed set of courses and/or project in their own departments. This structure of academic programmes provides flexibility to suit the varied interests of students and helps build

multifarious competencies that employers demand besides satisfying the widely varying attitudes, abilities and aspirations of students. The Institute continues to introduce new areas in its academic programme and innovation in its academic activities. The Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management, the School of Biosciences & Bioengineering and the Department of Energy Science & Engineering are recent initiatives. Student exchange programmes initiated with Universities in Germany, France, USA, and Japan have taken off successfully. Students are encouraged and supported to submit research papers and participate in national and international conferences. IIT Bombay is a residential campus that has all the students and most of the faculty and staff living on campus. The Institute has 13 students hostels, which include the recently added two state-of-the-art hostels each having accommodation facilities for about 450 students and two well-secured hostels for women students.

Each academic year consists of two semesters and a summer term. The education system is organized around a credit system, which ensures continuous evaluation of a students performance and provides flexibility to choose courses so as to facilitate progress at an optimum pace suited to ones ability or convenience. Each course is assigned certain number of credits depending upon the class contact hours. A minimum number of credits are to be completed in order to qualify for the award of degree. IIT Delhi has revised its curriculum and the new curriculum is effective from academic session 2013-14. The revised curriculum emphasizes on broad based training, design and innovation activities, and significant co-curricular components. It leaves sufficient time for students to take part in other activities like sports and recreation, and encourages them to be creative and innovative.

The Students Activity Centre provides a number of facilities for students extracurricular and physical development. The central two-storied block with a swimming pool and a gymnasium hall has amenities such as squash courts, hobbies workshop, seminar rooms, music rooms and other multipurpose rooms for reading and indoor games. The amphitheatre constructed in modern style is an added amenity to the Centre. The campus also provides such amenities as staff club, hospital, shopping centre, bank, post office, community centre, stadium and playing fields.

Rules for Change of Branch A student is eligible to apply for change of branch at the end of the first year only, provided he/she satisfies the following criteria. CGPA for General category students > 7.50 CGPA for SC/ST and Person with Disability category students > 6.50 Earned credits at the end of the first academic session > 40
Change of the branch will be permitted strictly in the order of merit as determined by CGPA at the end of the first year, subject to the limitation that the actual number of students in the third semester in the discipline to which transfer is to be made should not exceed the sanctioned strength, and the strength of the discipline from which transfer is being sought does not fall below 90% of the existing strength. For a student with CGPA = 9.0, even if a vacancy does not exist, he/she will be permitted to change discipline provided the strength in the discipline to which the change is being sought does not exceed by 5% of the sanctioned strength. Also, in such cases, he/she will be permitted to change discipline even if the strength of the discipline from which change is being sought falls below 90% of the existing strength. A stipulation of minimum credits and CGPA requirements will not be insisted upon for change of discipline to a branch in which a vacancy exists and the concerned student was eligible for admission to that discipline at the time of entry to IIT Delhi. However, requirements of credits and CGPA will continue to apply in case of both General and SC/ST category students seeking change to a discipline to which the concerned student was not eligible for admission at the time of entry to IIT Delhi. More liberal rules for change of branch are being worked out. If these are approved, these rules may become effective for the students admitted in 2013-14.

Credit System The prominent features of the credit system are: the process of continuous evaluation of a students performance, the absence of pass or fail on annual basis and the flexibility to allow a student to progress at the pace suited to his/her individual ability and convenience subject to the regulations of the credit requirements.
Each course, except for a few special courses, has a certain number of credits assigned to it depending on its lecture, tutorial and laboratory contact hours in a week. Each course is coordinated by a member of the faculty called the course coordinator. He/she has the full responsibility for coordinating the course, coordinating the work of other members of the faculty involved in the course, holding tests and awarding grades. In case of any difficulty, students are expected to approach the course coordinator for advice and clarification. A letter grade with a specified number of grade points is awarded in each course for which a student is registered. A students performance is measured by the number of credits that he/she has earned and by the weighted grade point average maintained by him/her. A minimum number of credits and a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) are necessary in order to qualify for a degree.

Grade P refers to passing in course and is not counted in CPI/SPI calculations. Minimum passing grade is D. The letter grade E may be considered as sufficient exposure to satisfy the prerequisites of another course, where applicable. Grade I is a place holder grade and gets converted to an appropriate grade before the commencement of the next semester. Rules for Change of Branch To provide an environment where students are free to develop their passions, IITGN has adopted the most liberal policy for branch changes at any IIT after the first year. Virtually all students are given an opportunity to 14

switch to a discipline of their choice in the second year. We also have created a formal structure to convey the excitement, promise, and relevance of each branch of engineering to our students. This is probably the first time in the history of the IIT system that such a policy has been successfully implemented. In 2012, the Institute was able to accommodate virtually every branch request of eligible students. After successful completion of the first two semesters, students may apply for branch change under the following guidelines: 1. Any student with a CPI 9.50 or higher is allowed a change of programme without any restriction. 2. For others, change is permitted in order of merit determined by their CPI. Students with a CPI of 6.50or higher and without any fail grade/backlogs are eligible to apply. 3. The request for change (in the order of merit) for a student (say S1) from programme A to programme B will be considered so long as: (a) Strength of programme B does not exceed by more than 10% the sanctioned strength for that programme. (b) Strength of students on the rolls in programme A does not fall below 50% of its sanctioned strength. (c) The request of S1 will be re-considered (again in order of merit) if another student transfers to branch A, provided this re-consideration does not violate (b) above. 4. All such transfers can be effected only once at the beginning of the second academic year. Applications for change of Programme during subsequent academic years are not entertained. Training and Placement at IIT GN IITGNs 2012 graduating class testifies to the success of its vision and mission. Nearly 60% voluntarily opted to add a minor or honors to their B. Tech. Nearly 25% availed educational or internship opportunities abroad. One in six

graduating students is pursuing a masters or doctoral degree. Over 10% are headed abroad to some of the worlds finest research institutions, including CalTech, Stanford, Notre Dame, Michigan, Houston and Imperial College. Our 2012 graduates were recruited by major industries such as Ricoh, BPCL, Grasims, TCE, Finisar, JCB, etc. Backed by the training and support of the institutes Career Development Cell, students at IITGN regularly interact with experts in the industry and IIT alumni, thus staying abreast of the needs of the job market. The Placements Cell brings companies spanning the full range of sectors of management, research and IT,in addition to core engineering, to suit the diverse aspirations of students. Its graduates are ready to capture the world through their presence in Microsoft, Flipkart, Timetooth, DRDO and other leading organizations.

A student takes 4 to 5 theory courses in addition to laboratory courses in each semester. A project in the final year provides the student ample scope for independent work. Credits are allotted to various courses depending on the number of lecture/tutorial/laboratory hours per week. A students performance in a course is continuously evaluated throughout the semester and culminates in the award of a grade on a 10-point scale. Performance in a semester is evaluated in terms of the weighted average of grade points secured in all the courses registered in that semester, known as the Semester Performance Index (SPI). A Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is given, representing the weighted average of grade points secured by a student in all the semesters. Minor Programme 1) In order to allow students to get exposure to areas other than their branch, they are allowed to opt for a minor in a discipline other than the discipline he/she is registered in. Students completing a minor will have the minor mentioned in the degree certificate and in the final grade card. The credit requirements for a minor discipline will be in the range of 30-36 credits. 2) Only those students who have completed all the credits required in the first two semesters of their major discipline with a CPI of 6.5 or above, will be eligible for a minor discipline after the end of second semester. 3) There are restrictions on the number of seats in each minor discipline and allocation is strictly on the basis of merit. Rules for Change of Branch The Institute has one of the most liberal branch change schemes among all IITs. Students are allowed to change from one branch of study to any other branch after the end of the second semester, subject to 19

certain conditions, some of which are given below: 1. Any student who has completed all the courses of the first two semesters without failing in any is eligible for branch change. There is no CPI restriction. 2. Change of branch is permitted strictly on the basis of merit (CPI at the end of two semesters) subject to the limitation that the strength of a branch does not fall below the existing strength by more than ten percent and does not go above the sanctioned strength by more than ten percent.

A forerunner of the other fourteen IITs, and in many ways a role model for them, IIT Kharagpur has been producing scientists and technologists of the 27

highest calibre who continue to provide leadership in education, research, industry, and management. Many of its alumni are illustrious men and women whose achievements command admiration and respect everywhere and evoke a just sense of pride in the IIT community. Situated 120 km west of Kolkata, Kharagpur can be reached in about two and a half hours by train from the Howrah railway station of Kolkata. Kharagpur is also connected by direct train service to other major cities of the country. The Institute is about 10 minutes drive (5 km) from Kharagpur railway station. Located in a sylvan landscape, far from the heat and dust of the city, the campus provides a calm and serene environment for dedicated academic pursuits. IIT Kharagpur has two fully operational extension centres, one at Calcutta and the other at Bhubaneswar, besides the main campus at Kharagpur, which is the largest in the country. IIT Kharagpur has the largest number of PG and UG programmes and has a large number of doctoral research scholars. It offers 22 undergraduate (B.Tech., B.Arch., M.Sc.), 87 postgraduate (M.Tech., Dual Degree, M.C.P., M.B.M.) and research (M.S., Ph.D., D.Sc.) programmes. IIT Kharagpur has been a prime mover in the modernization of technical education in independent India. Excellent research facilities and support in the frontier areas of science and technology are available at IIT Kharagpur, which includes some of the most advanced laboratories and the largest technical library in the country housing a state-of-the-art electronic library.

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 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 tomorrows 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, and the core in his/her chosen discipline. Electives in the discipline will enable the student 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. 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 Computer Science or even German Studies. The degree program also allows the student to go on exchange visits of upto one semester to other universities and industry for course work and projects. Several MOUs, including with TU9 system of German universities are in place to provide the framework for such exchange visits.

The student can consult a Faculty Advisor with regard to the planning of curriculum and other academic issues. 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, which is built into the curriculum. Thus, in the first year, 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! At the second year level, student teams propose product ideas and then build working prototypes of these products. Many of these product ideas are useful to the society. The products which were successfully built and demonstrated this year include a low cost 3-D printer, a versatile hybrid phone charger, a 3D visualizer and a model of an automatic vehicle parking system. At the third year level, the students have the option of working on an Interdisciplinary Socio-Technical Project (ISTP). In this project, student teams explore some of the issues/problems of society and propose technology-based solutions for them and also evaluate them from various angles. Finally, during the fourth year, the students have the option of doing a Final Year Project either individually or in a group. Overall, the curriculum at IIT Mandi is designed to encourage and enable the student to become well-qualified and well-rounded engineers in all respects.

APPLIED GEOLOGY (Code : G5501) The Earth System is continuously evolving through a series of complex dynamic processes. Understanding and modeling these processes is a challenging, but also intrinsically exciting task. These complex processes interact with each other leading to the development of oceans, mountain belts, plateaus, flood plains, deserts and various picturesque landscapes; more importantly, they also result in local scale enrichment of various metallic, non- metallic, water and fuel resources that have formed the backbone of the human civilization since its existence. On the flip side, catastrophic events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides represent the sinister manifestations 93

of these processes. Geology and Geophysics, the two sub-disciplines of Earth Science, have the common goals of understanding the origin of Earth vis-a-vis the solar system, of quantifying the Earth's evolutionary processes, searching for Earth Resources and predicting and mitigating natural and anthropogenic disasters and hazards. Geology primarily involves the unravelling of the physics and chemistry of Earth processes through direct sampling of earth materials like rocks, soils, water and vegetation in the field, and the development of sophisticated laboratory methods and tools for interpretation of the collected field data. The primary objective of Geophysics is to probe the inaccessible depths of the Earth for understanding its 'anatomy' on the basis of bulk physical (electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, gravitational, elastic and visco-elastic) properties and phenomena, such as electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic and gravitational properties, and propagation of elastic waves through its interior. Inevitably, Geophysics requires sophisticated instrumentation and rigorous mathematical tools. The Department of Geology and Geophysics of lIT Kharagpur offers five-year integrated M.Sc. programs in both the disciplines, imparting training on applied aspects of Earth Science. Core courses in Applied Geology enable students to develop expertise in the study of minerals, rocks, fossils and ores. Students are imparted laboratory and field training (a total of 18 weeks of field work) under this program. Apart from disseminating information, emphasis is given to acquisition of basic tools for quantification of processes. Modern courses on crust-mantle interaction, mountain building processes, global climate changes, basin analysis, low-temperature Geochemistry, water-rock interaction, Isotope Geology and mineralogical spectroscopy have been formulated to expose students to frontier areas of research. The course of Engineering Geology along with stimulating laboratory components is one of the strengths of the Applied Geology curricula, which is meant to integrate geological knowledge/information with rock and soil engineering. Rigorous training on techniques

and tools for exploration of earth resources is also imparted through adequate exposure to courses such as Groundwater Geology, Remote Sensing & GIS, Environmental Geology and Micropaleontology, that have immediate industrial and environmental importance. The teaching in Applied Geology is supported by excellent computational and laboratory facilities e.g. X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer, LaserRaman Probe, Total Organic Carbon Analyzer, Gas source stable-isotope Mass Spectrometer, Automatic Compression Test Machine, to name a few.
