= Student Bodies =

The student governance at IIT Delhi is organized through a set of autonomous boards and councils, collectively known as the Student Bodies. These operate under the overarching '''[[Student Affairs Council (SAC)]]''' and are responsible for managing the cultural, academic, sporting, welfare, media, and residential aspects of student life. Each body is led by a General Secretary (GSec) elected by the student community and supported by a team of coordinators and executives.
