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

What the campus is like socially
IIT Guwahati runs on a hostel and technical-society culture, where hackathons, coding clubs, and the annual technical fest are the main social anchors alongside the classroom.
How to find your people here
