First Semester in NITs and IIITs: Guidelines for Students

This time is very important for the newly admitted students. They not only have to complete the college formalities but also have to be ready for a new beginning of academic life. Below are some key guidelines:

1. Complete final admission formalities on time

• • Visit the college website and complete all the tasks like registration, fee submission and document verification by the due date.
  • Missing the deadline may result in seat cancellation.

2. Physical reporting and keep documents ready

• • In most institutes, students will have to do physical reporting on the scheduled date.
  • Students will have to carry all their original documents (like 10th-12th mark sheets, admission card, counselling receipts, category certificate etc.) with them.

3. Use online portal

• • Many institutes will give important information to students from time to time through online portal or email.
  • Students should keep checking the portal and email regularly.

4. Prepare for first semester

• • In most NITs and IIITs, basic subjects of mathematics, physics, programming and engineering are taught in the initial semester.
  • If students wish, they can do basic preparation of these subjects before the classes.

Why is it Important to Start the Semester on Time?

• National institutes like IITs, NITs and IIITs have a very systematic academic calendar. If students do not enroll on time:
• Their seat is automatically cancelled.
