Hoodies.

About the hoodies.

220 GSM brushed-back fleece, regular fit with a roomy kangaroo pocket and drawcord hood. Machine-wash cold, line-dry — no shrinkage. Designed for the 6 AM library shift and the post-fest walk back to hostel. Every hoodie ships with the IITian Vibes label inside the collar and institute-specific designs printed front and back.

IIT Guwahati sits on a 700-acre campus on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River — the only IIT whose daily backdrop is one of Asia's great rivers rolling past the foothills of Assam. Founded in 1994 as the sixth IIT, it carries a distinct mandate as the premier technical institution for Northeast India, drawing students from across the seven sisters and beyond. Each January the campus transforms for Alcheringa, the cultural festival launched in 1996 that has grown into one of the largest college fests in the region [¹]. September belongs to Techniche, the annual techno-management festival that runs the Guwahati Half Marathon and Technothlon, a national school-level science competition [²]. Hostels are named after the rivers and tributaries that define the Northeast — Brahmaputra, Lohit, Subansiri, Manas, Barak, Siang, Kameng, and a dozen more — giving even the room address a geographic poetry. Notable alumni include Vivek Ramachandran (ECE, cybersecurity researcher, founder of Pentester Academy and SquareX) and Ankit Nagori (co-founder of CureFit). If you've watched a Brahmaputra sunset from the campus ghat, the merch is for you.

Frequently asked.

• Do you deliver to IIT Guwahati hostels in Assam?

  Yes — shipments to IIT Guwahati typically take 6–8 business days given the Assam location. Include your full hostel name (e.g., Lohit Hostel or Subansiri Hostel), room number, and your name as it appears on the parcel. Parcels are usually collected at the hostel reception or the campus main gate security post; we recommend adding your phone number to the address so the courier can coordinate entry. During fest season or exam periods, allow an extra day or two.

• When is the IIT Guwahati convocation?

  IIT Guwahati holds its convocation in July — the 26th Convocation was on 14 July 2024 and the 27th is scheduled for 13 July 2025. If you're ordering for the ceremony — a hoodie, tee, or keepsake — place your order at least two weeks before the date. Batch or department bulk orders (15+ units) need 10–14 business days from artwork approval, so plan accordingly and reach out early at [email protected].

• Do you sell official Alcheringa or Techniche merchandise?

  We are not the official merchandise vendor for Alcheringa or Techniche — those are managed by the respective fest committees on campus. What we offer is year-round IIT Guwahati-themed merchandise: Brahmaputra-inspired campus prints, department designs, hostel gear, and Northeast India cultural references. So whether you're mid-semester or in the thick of fest season, you can rep IITG any time of year.

• Can we place a bulk order for a hostel, club, or department at IITG?

  Absolutely. For orders of 15 or more units we offer bulk pricing with custom prints — hostel name (Manas, Barak, Siang, and the rest), club name, department (CSE, ME, Civil, etc.), or batch year. Lead time for bulk orders is 10–14 business days from artwork approval. Email [email protected] with your quantity, design brief, and delivery deadline and we'll send a quote. Factor in the 6–8 day shipping window to Guwahati when planning your timeline.

• Can I customise a piece with my department or river-themed hostel name?

  Yes. For bulk orders (15+ units), adding department text (e.g., Chemical '27 or CS Dept) or your hostel's river name is straightforward — just mention it when you email [email protected]. For single-unit custom requests, we handle these case by case; reach out via the contact form describing what you have in mind (hostel name, department, batch year) and we'll confirm feasibility and cost before you order.
