The BTech programme in Energy Science and Engineering, the MA in Liberal Arts, the MTech in Bioengineering, the MTech in Biomedical Science and Engineering, the MDes in Electronic Product Design, the MDes in Electronic Packaging and Design, the MS (R) in Polymer Science and Technology, and the MBA programme are the eight new undergraduate and graduate courses that IIT-Guwahati has introduced.

The institute has implemented all COVID-19-related safety measures and is presently holding a significant vaccination booster dose drive in order to protect the wellbeing of its students. With the batch of students admitted during the pandemic taking full-semester classes in person for the first time, more over 7,400 students are currently enrolled in classes.

In addition, the institute raised a sizeable sum of money to aid the local populace during the recent Assam floods. The drones created by IIT Guwahati students and start-ups also aided in disaster relief efforts including the transportation of food and medicine as well as the survey of the floods.
