Where to Find the Latest News and Announcements on the IIT Guwahati Website

Updated

The latest news and announcements are published in the Latest News section on the IIT Guwahati homepage (iitg.ac.in). Each item appears as a short headline or summary, and where a full announcement exists, it links to a detail page through a "View Details" link. This is the place to check for official institute updates such as faculty appointments, academic notices, and other announcements.

How the Latest News Section Works

The homepage carries a dedicated Latest News block. Based on the site's current listing, entries follow a simple pattern:

  • A brief headline or summary of the announcement
  • A "View Details" link that opens the full item

One current example is the appointment of Dr. Pinosh Kumar Hajoary to the Scientific Editorial Board of the Q1 journal Circular Economy and Sustainability, published by Springer Nature. The homepage shows a short note about the appointment with a "View Details" link for the full announcement.

Step-by-step: Checking for updates

  1. Open iitg.ac.in in your browser.
  2. Locate the Latest News section on the homepage (it appears among the homepage content blocks).
  3. Scan the headlines for items relevant to your interest.
  4. Select "View Details" on an item to open its full announcement page.

Expected result: You land on a detail page with the complete text of that announcement. If an item has no detail link, treat the homepage summary as the full notice.

What You Will and Will Not Find There

You can expect Notes
Official institute announcements Posted under Latest News on the homepage
Faculty and staff recognitions E.g., editorial board appointments
Links to fuller detail pages Via "View Details"

The homepage news block is a curated feed, not a complete archive. For older announcements, or for news tied to a specific department or centre, check the relevant department or centre pages within the site rather than relying on the homepage alone.

Common Pitfalls

  • Looking only at the headline: Short summaries can omit key context; open "View Details" when it is offered.
  • Expecting a full archive: The homepage section highlights recent items. Historical notices may live on separate pages.
  • Confusing news with admissions or results: Admission updates and academic results are typically published through their own sections of the site, not the general news feed.

For prospective students and researchers, the Latest News section is a quick way to see what the institute is currently publicizing; for anything procedural, follow the dedicated section linked from the homepage.
