Indian Institute of Technology FAQs:

1. What are the advantages of studying at IIT Hyderabad?
   - At IITH, the faculty is overwhelmingly young and hip. The average age of a faculty member is likely to be between 30 and 35. In an older IIT, it may be between 40 and 50. Additionally, since the academic programmes are being set up from scratch, it is easier to inculcate the best practices that are prevalent at IITs and elsewhere. The following are additional advantages at IITH:
   • IITH has introduced a new academic program called Fractal Academics. It is essentially
   trying to atomise the courses and introducing excitement and challenges in engineering
   early in the curriculum. More details can be found here.
   • IITH emphasises on active learning, and this involves having a lot of project work in
   most of the courses at IITH.
   • IITH has a Digital Fabrication (3D Printing) Lab at the first-year level for all incoming
   undergraduate students. It is the only institute in India to offer this lab and perhaps
   the only institution in the world to offer such a lab to first-year students. DigiFab lab
   equips students with future manufacturing technology.
   
   
2. What are the requirements for a B.Tech Degree?
   - It is necessary to earn a minimum of 125 − 130 credits (will vary within this range for
   each branch) and also fulfil the category-wise credit requirements such as core courses, core electives, liberal arts electives, etc. Also, satisfactory completion of NSS/NSO activities is mandatory. Further, there exists a minimum residency requirement of four years. This means that one cannot complete the B.Tech programme in less than four academic years or eight semesters.
   
   
3. What is Fractal Academics?
   - To foster interdisciplinary learning and facilitate flexibility in the academic curriculum, IITH has introduced a new academic approach called ”Fractal Academics”. The name is inspired by the fractals which are self-similar across different scales. A typical three-credit lecture course has 42 lecture hours in a semester, whereas in Fractal Academics the credits can vary from 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 having 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 lecture hours, respectively. This enables the student to choose not only the course he/she likes but also the amount of depth in that course. For example, a Chemical engineering student interested in a quick outline of IC engines may take a one-credit course on the same and a Mechanical engineering student interested in-depth knowledge of IC engines can, later on, choose a three-credit course advanced course on IC engines.
   
   
4. How does one get into the Minors and/or Honors programmes?
   - The candidates applying for admission need to pass all the courses until the end of their 2nd year to be eligible to apply for these programmes. A CGPA criterion for Honours can be set by the respective Departments but no CGPA criterion for a minor.
   
   
5. What is the eligibility criteria to convert from M.Tech to PhD?
   - A student should have the minimum CGPA of 7.0 in their course work (usually first and
   second semesters for a 2-year M.Tech) to convert directly from M.Tech to PhD.
