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.
