How IIT Gandhinagar Students and Staff Can Reach Internal Services from the Website

The IIT Gandhinagar homepage (iitgn.ac.in) carries a utility strip at the top of the page that links directly to the services students and employees use day to day. From there you can open Webmail, the Internal Website (IWS), the Institute Process Automation System (IPAS), the Library, the Medical Centre, the Guest House, the Internal Complaints Committee, the IITGN Counseling Service, Career Development Services, Scholarships and Financial Aid, and the list of holidays. The links are visible on the public homepage, but the services behind them are internal — expect to sign in with your institute credentials once you follow a link.

What the top utility strip contains

The strip groups links by audience and function rather than by department:

• Student — the student-facing entry point to internal services.
• Employee — the equivalent entry point for staff.
• Webmail — institute email access.
• Internal Website (IWS) — the internal site for the IITGN community.
• Institute Process Automation System (IPAS) — the workflow and process system.
• Library — library services.
• Medical Centre — campus health services.
• Guest House — campus accommodation bookings.
• Internal Complaints Committee — the committee's contact and reporting route.
• IITGN Counseling Service — student counseling support.
• Career Development Services — placements and career support.
• Scholarships and Financial Aid — funding information for students.
• RTI — Right to Information requests.
• List of Holidays — the institute holiday calendar.
• Campus Weather Monitoring — live campus weather data.
• Subscribe — sign-up for institute updates.

How to get to a service

1. Open iitgn.ac.in in a browser.
2. Look at the row of links at the very top of the page, above the main navigation.
3. Select the link that matches your task — for example, Webmail to check institute email, IPAS to start or track a process, or Library for library resources.
4. If you are prompted for a login, use your institute account. The homepage does not state that any of these services are open to the public, so treat them as restricted to the IITGN community.

Expected result: you land on the service's own page or sign-in screen. If a link returns you to the homepage or shows an error, the usual causes are an expired session or a service that requires you to be on the campus network — try signing in again first.

Which link to use for common tasks

Related pages worth knowing

The homepage also links to Academics (Academic Affairs, Admissions, Departments, Academic Calendar), Research (Research Highlights, Facilities, Centres, Research Park), People (Faculty, Staff, PhD Scholars, Alumni), and Administration (Director, Finance Committee, Building and Works Committee, Academic Officials). The Careers and Giving sections sit alongside these. If you are looking for a policy or form rather than a service, check the Administration and Academics sections before assuming it is missing.

Common snags

• Links that need a login: Webmail, IWS, and IPAS are internal systems; a public visitor will reach a sign-in page rather than the content.
• Language toggle: the strip includes English and हिंदी options, so switch there if you prefer the Hindi interface.
• Accessibility controls: the A+ / A / A- buttons next to the language toggle adjust text size if the utility strip is hard to read.
• Subscribe: the Subscribe link signs you up for updates; it is separate from the internal services and does not grant access to them.
