December 2004. The Institute also participated in a recently held IIT2005 event in
Washington DC.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
The previous year had been a very active and fruitful one for our Institute. IIT
Kanpur has always striven to encourage an equitable balance between academics and
extracurricular engagements. Our aim is to create future leaders in their chosen
fields and not just technically accomplished individuals. Knowledge and skills that
are easily measured or assessed are not the only ones worth having; some very
precious qualities such as a person’s sense of values and cultural awareness are
equally important goals to attain. We take pride in the support the Institute provides
to various social, cultural and sporting activities pursued by the Students’ Gymkhana
and other student groups. The activities range from clubs like Prayas, where
students teach children coming from socially disadvantaged and economically
deprived backgrounds to the Dramatics club which through its thematic and socially
relevant plays often alert us to the most crucial questions concerning humanity, thus
providing a corrective to our traditional knowledge-based and examination-driven
teaching. Other technically oriented student groups are engaged round the year in
pursuing special interests like robotics, electronic aids, animation, aero-modeling and
astronomy to name just a few.
The overriding objective of our large-scale events like the Cultural Festival
Antaragni, the Science and Technology Festival Techkriti, the sports Festivals
Udgosh and Josh, the entrepreneurial event Megabucks and the film festival
Umang organized by the Students Films Society is to infuse in our students a sense
of richness and purpose. We are fully convinced that extracurricular activities and
community services play a significant role in school life contributing to the
development of the student into a whole person. The Gymkhana Festivals have seen
vastly improved participation levels, both from within the Institute and also from
8
Annual Report 2004-2005
students from other Indian and international institutes. The revenue generated from
the conduct of these well-organized festivals witnessed a dramatic growth this year
and ably testifies to the managerial and logistical skills of our students.
Students’ strenuous efforts often involving months of intensive training were well
rewarded at the Inter IIT Sports meet held at IIT Madras. In our contingent of
120 there were over 40 first year students whose enthusiasm and experience, we
hope, would provide a source of strength in the coming year. Other activities like
nature trails, trekking, and mountaineering are being taken up actively by the
students. Student’s interest in activities like photography and music are also being
actively encouraged and the Institute is doing all it can to provide the enthusiasts of
these and other clubs with the requisite funding and equipment. In order to
encourage the sports activities among the students, the Institute has introduced
Sports Prizes to the medalists in the Inter IIT Sports meet, and twenty sports
scholarships of Rs 500/- per month each for achieving outstanding leadership in
sports.
Both the general interest student Magazine Meander and the campus news reportage
of Spark are sustaining discussion and debate in the student community. These
journalistic endeavors have been successful in cultivating a broader awareness in the
student community of certain problems. They facilitate an active personal
engagement in the system of redressal and also act as a sounding board for student
opinion.
The placement scenario this year has witnessed a positive upswing with almost 93%
of the B.Tech and 70% of the M. Tech students registered with the student placement
office getting offers. A remarkable improvement in M. Tech placement has been
observed with more than 100 additional offers compared to the previous years.
Placement of the MBA students has been 100 % with substantial increase in the
average pay package. Many companies of repute also registered for the on-campus-
recruitment program for the first time. From the next academic session, the
placement activities will start after the inter IIT Sports meet in December. A new
complex comprising Students’ Placement Office, Alumni Activities, and a mini
convention centre is coming up adjacent to the stadium between Visitors’ Hostel and
SAC with enthusiastic support from alumni of 1969 and 1980 batch. With improved
facilities and a response system in place, we earnestly hope that the coming year
would see increased participation of companies and industrial organizations for
effective placement and industrial training programs.

Academic Programme
EDUCATIONAL GOALS
The engineering education should produce trained manpower for maintaining and
advancing technological growth. The scope of engineering education should evolve
based on the evaluation of technological growth for their usefulness and relevance to
the prosperity of the country. The educational strategy should help to develop a
knowledge industry. The systems involved in this endeavor should strive for
furtherance of knowledge.
The academic goals of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur from the viewpoint
of its teaching programme are as the following:
To prepare the students for the highest level of excellence in science, and
technology and produce competent, creative and imaginative scientists and
engineers.
To promote a spirit of free and objective inquiry in different fields amongst the
students and motivate them for higher studies and research.
TEACHING PROGRAMMES
Undergraduate Programme
The four-year undergraduate programme consists of two parts having duration of
four semesters each. The first part is the core programme common to all students,
and is carefully planned to give the students a strong base of basic education in
mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering sciences, technical arts, humanities and
62
Annual Report 2004-2005
social sciences. The second part of the undergraduate programme consists of the
professional courses and a project in the chosen branch of specialization. At the
Bachelor’s level, we have B.Tech. programs in Aerospace, Chemical, Civil,
Computer Science, Electrical, Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering. We also
have integrated M.Sc. programs in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics.
From July 2005, we have started an integrated M.Sc. program in Economics. The
students for these programs are selected through JEE and usually they are the top
students from various places in the country.
Two-Year M.Sc. Programme
There are programs for M. Sc. (2 years) in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and
Statistics, where the students with B.Sc. (Hons.) background are chosen through an
all-India examination known as JAM.
Postgraduate Programme
The postgraduate programme is intended to prepare students to enter their
professions with a perspective and breadth of knowledge related to the principal
divisions of their respective fields of specialization through courses and specialized
research experience. A postgraduate student is typically enrolled for three or four
courses each semester until the student advances to a point where the principal
requirements of the programme left to be fulfilled are research and thesis.
M.Tech. Programme
We have M.Tech. Programmes in all the Engineering Branches, mentioned above.
In addition, there are M. Tech. Programs in the interdisciplinary areas, such as,
Nuclear Engineering, Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, Laser Technology,
Environmental Engineering, Materials Science, and Industrial and Management
Engineering. The M. Tech. Students are chosen through an all-India examination,
known as GATE. We have also adopted a dual degree (B.Tech.-M. Tech.) program.
In this program, the students admitted through JEE, are expected to complete the M.
Tech. Program in five years. At the end of five years, the student is awarded both
B.Tech. and M.Tech. Degrees.
63
Annual Report 2004-2005
The Department of Physics offers a M.Sc.-Ph.D. dual degree program, which allows
their M.Sc. students to continue for a Ph.D.
D.I.I.T. Programme
The Institute started a D.IIT programme in Video Communications Systems with
effect from first semester 1992-93. The duration of the Course is one year. The DIIT
Programme is based on existing PG Course for M.Tech. Programme. This
programme is monitored by the Department of Electrical Engineering.
The most recent initiative of IIT Kanpur has been the Formation of a Strong
Research Group in the areas of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

65
Annual Report 2004-2005
India has a great tradition in Economics Education and Research. Prof. Amartya Sen,
Prof. Jagdish N. Bhagwati are among the finest and best known Economists in the
World.
Today’s India needs trained mind that is a perfect blend of Technology and
Economics. The Integrated MSc program in Economics is a step in that direction.
The programme has been designed keeping the recommendations of the Senate
Undergraduate Review Committee in perspective. Twenty-five students will be
admitted through the Joint Entrance Examination and there will be no prerequisite of
Economics as a subject at the higher secondary level. The four streams of Economics
are focused. They are Econometrics and quantitative techniques; Industrial
economics and business policy; Development infrastructure and public policy and
Environment and resource economics. The credit requirement for the graduation is
199 Credit Points. First four semesters would be common with the other branches of
BTech and MSc Integrated programmes.
The sustainability of any academic programme and its viability would depend on
better and comprehensive integration of the interdisciplinary aspects of such a
programme. It is also essential that research should focus on new emerging areas,
which can respond to the varying societal environmental concerns. Faculty members
drawn from the current EEM program, and Departments such as Chemistry,
Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Physics, Biological Sciences and Bio-

razed down across states and countries, an institute like IIT Kanpur has a supreme
role in providing leadership that addresses societal concerns. As part of our social
responsibility, we want to share our expertise with fellow academic institutions
across the country and abroad. Towards this goal, we have initiated an Outreach
Education Program. Under this scheme, using the VSAT transmission technology,
we are providing lecture courses in the area of engineering and biological sciences to
the college and university students in the State of Chhattisgarh. IIT Kanpur is
promise bound to transmit some advanced courses to the students of newly founded
Pandit Dwarka Prasad Mishra Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design
and Management (PDPMIIITDM), Jabalpur. IIT Kanpur is also participating in a
new project, known as Indo-French Cyber University This will foster international
collaboration in the areas of emerging technologies. The program will include
transmission of courses between IIT-Kanpur and the Université Pierre et Marie Curie
(Paris). The courses will be taught in English to the advanced Master’s students in
both countries by the French and Indian professors.

Annual Report 2004-2005
Sehat Saathi: This is prototype software for acquiring patient data and real-time
doctor patient communication to enable diagnosis and treatment. Thus all the
patient data, details of clinical tests, diagnosis and treatment go into the database
and are capable of being retrieved (the retrieval system has not been developed).
Package of Diagnostic devices and Processes: A package of devices/processes
has been identified as being required for the purpose and is a mix of both digital
and conventional methods. The digital devices come with their own software for
display of data. They do not need any additional software to be developed for this
purpose.
Preventive Health and Health Promotion: Patient education, information on
health and Disease, Care of chronic cases, pain management, Health screening,
tele-counseling etc. form an intrinsic component of the system. Many multi-
media information films have been developed.
Deployment: It has become essential to train a local person, who has a
commitment to the area and its people. Accordingly, a portable model has been
developed which is capable of being operated by such a person.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECT
Patents Granted to IIT Kanpur Faculty during the financial year 2004-2005
79
Annual Report 2004-2005
The ultimate goal of genome research is to map all the genes in the DNA sequence
for various model organisms and to develop tools for using this information in the
study of human biology and medicine. A high throughput DNA sequencer (CEQ
8000 from Beckman Coulter) has been acquired, which is a fully automated genetic
analysis system. This system automatically fills the capillary array with a patented
linear polyacrylamide (LPA) gel, denatures and loads the sample, applies the voltage
program, and analyzes the data. Software tools help in rapidly reviewing data quality
and even customize automated data assessment.
This system is equipped to perform sequence run for 96 samples in 24 hours. The
following analyses can be done using this system.
80
Annual Report 2004-2005
The CEQ800 system uses standard chain termination sequencing methodology like
the radio-active method but employs new detection and sampling technologies. The
labels attached to the ddNTPs are different fluorophores. Therefore it is possible to
carry out the four sequencing reactions - for A, C, G and T - in a single tube and to
load all four families of molecules into just one capillary, as the fluorescent detector
can discriminate between the different labels and hence determine if each band
represents an A, C, G or T. The sequence can be read directly as the bands pass in
front of the detector and sent straight to a computer for analyses. These data files can
be opened in several third party software packages for further analyses.

Annual Report 2004-2005
The system along with discover microwave reaction module provides specific
designs that satisfies the need to scale up organic reactions with energy in a safe,
controlled and consistent method. It is made fit to do reactions with liquid, slurries
and solid reagents, scaling up the reaction from 10 ml to 80 ml with same parameters
and same yield. The additional feature is the Investigator System, a Raman
spectroscopy system, featuring a compact 785nm laser diode and a CCD detector to
offer the smallest and most cost-effective Raman system. This technique allows the
analytical interrogation of reactions through in situ real time analysis with
microwave-enhanced chemistry. Reaction conditions can be controlled and adjusted
based on product formation, starting material depletion, reactant uptake, or other
critical parameters.

As mentioned above, academic activities are only one facet of student’s life at IIT
Kanpur. Our students actively participate in various extra and co-curricular activities
focused towards the holistic development of their mind and body. The year 2004-
2005 also saw a very active calendar in the form of various games and cultural
events.
IIT Kanpur boasts about some of the very best facilities of any Institute in the
country. There is a full grass cricket ground, athletics track, two volleyball courts,
basketball courts, an indoor setup for Badminton, TT and weightlifting and fully
Floodlit Hockey and Football grounds. In addition to these great playgrounds, there
is also an Olympic size swimming pool, replete with a diving board set-up, five
regularly maintained tennis grounds, two concrete and three clay courts and an
indoor gymnasium. The maintenance and addition of new facilities is entrusted to
the Physical Education Section, a separate department devoted to sports activities,

The Games and Sports Council comprises of the teams for various sports and a clubs
related to sports. The past one-year has been very successful for the Council. The
Institute teams practice regularly in preparation for the Inter IIT Sports Meet,
conducted every year in December. They play practice matches against local clubs,
both at home and away, and other teams that come over to IIT Kanpur during
Udghosh, The IIT Kanpur sports festival. Some of our teams have developed very
well in the past one-year. The football team hasn’t lost a single match at home in the
past one year against in all competition.
132
Annual Report 2004-2005
In addition to the regular activities of the teams, the council conducts two sports
festivals, Udghosh and Josh. Udghosh, the IIT Kanpur Sports festival is a great
competitive experience where colleges from all over the country come and
participate in a three-day event. Udghosh attracted over 900 participants from
colleges all over the country. The home teams performed extremely well at
Udghosh, with Gold medals in six different sports. It was a huge sporting success
with record number of participant. Josh is the Intra IIT Kanpur sports festival, where
all the events are conducted at night. It was started the year before, and was an even
bigger success this year. Over sixty teams registered in all the events with night
Phatta registering over a hundred teams, and an estimated 2500 students took part in
one event or the other. Such participation level from the predominantly academic
minded students of IIT Kanpur was a big surprise. In addition to these mega events,
the hostels also have their own sports festival. The two undergraduate hostels, Hall 2
and Hall 3, conduct Unmad and Olympus respectively while Hall 4 continues its
love affair with Volleyball with Smash.
There are four Clubs under the Sports Council viz. the Adventure Sports Club, the
Tae-Kwon-do Club, the Bridge club and the Nature Club. The Adventure sports
club is one of the most active clubs in the campus. It undertakes treks and cycling
expeditions to exotic places of great natural beauty. In the past one year it
successfully undertook two treks and two cycling expeditions. In addition to these
activities it also conducts activities such as river rafting and wall climbing. The
members of each expedition are selected after a rigorous conditioning program.
The Tae-Kwon-do club was very active and successful in the past one year. The
club enrolls students at nominal fees and imparts Tae-Kwon-do training. The club
successfully conducted many belt promotion tests in the last one year. The Club was
very successful at the district belt tests and now boasts a few black belts in its ranks.
The coaching is imparted by a very highly qualified coach, who himself is a black
belt holder. The club has also initiated the process to get Tae-Kwon-do recognized
as a regular sport in the Inter IIT sports meet.

campus and gives its say in all environment related issues inside the Institute.
133
Annual Report 2004-2005
The last one-year has been a very productive year. A much larger number of
individuals are participating in sports activities than a year before, both from the
junior and senior batches. This spurt in sports activities will surely go a long way to
improve our performance at the Inter IIT meet and also help maintain the vibrant
sports culture of IIT Kanpur.
Inter IIT Sports Meet was held in IIT Madras in December 13th – 19th, 2004.The
performance by our teams didn’t live up to our expectations. However, to put things
into perspective, a comparison with the last years results, which is acknowledged to
be much better, shows that we made it to the semifinals in three sports in Men
category (compared to 4 last year) and one in Women category (none). We had to
drop many senior players due to injuries, departmental tours and last minute seminar
call-ups, etc. The constructive aspect to come out of this meet was that we had over
40 first year students in the contingent of 120, which is a very good base to improve
on for next year.
We won Silver medal in Football and Bronze medal in Badminton (Women). In
individual events Mr. Sandeep Yedlapalli won gold medal in Shot-put Throw and
Mr.Rajeev Kapoor won Bronze medals in 1500m and 5000m races. Volleyball and
Badminton (Men) missed the medals but got fourth position.
We got a dismal 6th position but we plan to take effective measures to avoid
situations due to which our key players had to back out and to build on fresh talent of
the first yearites.

One of the new features of the activities of the Cultural Council this year was that it
joined hands with the Centre for Creative Writing and Publication and organized
creative writing competition, film workshop by Narendra Ketkar, and lectures by
well known writers such as Chetan Bhagat and Sandipan Deb.
However, the most important task of the Cultural Council was to organize Antaragni,
the annual cultural festival of IIT Kanpur. Antaragni 2004 was organized from 28
October to 31 October 2004. More than 1000 participants from 45 colleges of India
representing different types of colleges, institutions and universities participated in it.
Apart from debates, competitions, professional nights, Antaragni 2004 added a two-
day event India Haat aiming at the cultural union of different states of India.
Representatives from Mizorum, Assam, Manipur, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya
Pradesh took part in this and presented folk art from the respective regions. At the
organizational level a new institution of Mid Night Meeting was introduced; in the
mid night each day the team leaders and the organizing team met to discuss problems
and complaints of participants and find solutions. Through this “important
announcements” were conveyed to the participants. During 2004 the Cultural
Council made a special effort to convert the event from the purely students’ event to
campus event in which not only students but also other campus residents could
participate and develop a feeling of oneness. This promotes integration between
different groups on the campus and ultimately helps the students in developing a
sense of integration, pride, culture and leadership.

The films spanned all possible genres and themes as were feasible given the
timeframe, and were very well appreciated by the student as well as faculty
communities.
The biggest change we made for Umang 2005 was the length of the festival and the
number of films screened – 9 days and 35 films for a complete film festival was

link students and 14 link faculty members associated with every department. Regular
meetings were organized to monitor their academic performance. A total of 6
meetings (3 in each semester) were held to discuss the issues related to these
students. During the session 2004-05 (I), 58 students were on Academic Probation
list and 54 students on Warning. 71 students came out of the list after this semester.
A total of 190 students were on AP/ Warning during the 2004-05 II sessions.
Group counselling was also introduced during this year to identify the problems of
the academically deficient students. 3 such sessions with different groups of students
were held. Around 57 students were involved in these sessions. Many students
personally met the Head, Counselling and the Counsellor regularly for guidance.
Like the previous year, this year too certain students were recommended the slow
paced programme, on the basis of their performance up to the first mid semester
examination. Meetings were held with these students to suggest semester wise
course plans according to their departments. Two meetings of slow pace committee
(one in each semester) were held to review the slow pace policy.
A Student Faculty Open House Discussion on the Academic Issues concerning the
students was organized in the 2004-05 (I) Session. The forum witnessed active
participation from both student and faculty communities and it was realized that
more of such sessions should be organized to enhance student-faculty interaction and
discussion of academic concerns of mutual interest.

acute financial problems.
In February, the new coordinators both for UG and PG were selected and interviews
were held for selecting the new assistant coordinators and student guides for the next
session. New faculty counsellors were also appointed as per the choice of the student
guides. The new team took charge after the handing over ceremony in April, where
the old team was presented badges by the Director.

has come by way of drugs. The project proposed here aims to provide an
alternative methodology to facilitate this goal. We wish to understand how
certain atypical GTPases carry out GTP hydrolysis, despite carrying
oncogenic (cancerous) mutations. These GTPases (HAS-GTPases) are
atypical because the essential glutamine is substituted by a hydrophobic
residue, which cannot perform the same role. Using Bioinformatics,
Biochemistry and Structural biology as major methodologies, we wish to
understand the novel catalytic mechanisms underlying the function of these
proteins. This knowledge will provide the structural framework for anti-Ras
drug design.
