IIT Guwahati's campus is on a sprawling 285 hectares plot of land on
the north bank of the river Brahmaputra around 20 kms. from the heart
of the city. With the majestic Brahmaputra on one side, and with hills
and vast open spaces on others, the campus provides an ideal setting
for learning. While the campus construction programme will terminate at
the end of the tenth five year plan, students' hostels, faculty and
staff quarters, and a guest house have already been built.
