Introduction

The IIT Bombay campus provides an ideal setting for students to participate in recreational and extracurricular activities. IITB's a core program involving co-curricular activities for UG students in their first year is meant to provide them a launching pad for these activities. The mandate of the Student Affairs Office is to coordinate and regulate all aspects of student life at IITB. This is carried out primarily through two bodies:

• The Hostels Coordinating Unit ( HCU )
• The Students Gymkhana, which has a group of highly qualified sports officers and other instructors to run all the activities. The Gymkhana also forms the hub for the cultural activities of the students.
