Meeting people at IIT Delhi
Meeting people at IIT Delhi, in Delhi NCR, starts with the campus's own social rhythm, not a generic checklist.

What the campus is like socially
IIT Delhi runs on a hostel-and-hobby-club culture, where technical societies, hackathons, and the annual technical and cultural fests are the main social anchors.
