The true motto of IIT Guwahati - achieving excellence through the amalgamation of the mind, heart, and body - is brilliantly exhibited through the myriad extracurricular, sports, and leadership roles undertaken by the students, in addition to a strenuous academic schedule. Students show intense time-management, intrapersonal, interpersonal as well as managerial and leadership skills as they take up versatile roles, such as managing the student body, organizing international festivals, competing fiercely in prestigious national and international competitions, and taking up social initiatives.
Student Gymkhana Council
The Students' Gymkhana Council is the body that promotes the objectives of fostering extra-curricular and co-curricular activities and welfare of the students during their stay on the campus. Being in the Gymkhana council enhances a student's leadership and managerial skills.
Inter-Hostel Events
Fierce competition exists amongst the residents of the 10 hostels of IIT Guwahati, which is exhibited during the inter-hostel technical, sports, and cultural festivals leading up to the overall championship.
