The registration dates for CW work will be same as Add/Drop dates as per the Academic Calendar for that term. No registrations allowed after the last date of Add/Drop.
2. Do I have to work with an organisation/NGO? Can’t I do some online course related to community or teach students for free?

Work at the summer school in IIITD counts toward CW credits. Students can also work in NGOs outside Delhi.

Poster presentation dates are notified in the Academic Calendar of each semester. It is mandatory to present your work in the subsequent semester.

In special cases only, we allow a student to request the organization to write a formal mail validating student’s work and student is then supposed to forward the same to communitywork@iiitd.ac.in , faculty in-charge and Academic Officer Incharge.
8. Can I do CW in Monsoon/Winter or is it only permitted in the Summer session?
There are no restrictions regarding the scheduling of CW work. If you can manage the workload during the regular semester, you may choose to do so. Your logs are verified against 80/90 or 40/50 hours requirement for 2 or 1 credits respectively.
9. When is the latest semester when I can present my CW work?
If you wish to graduate in May, you should have presented your work in the preceding Winter semester (i.e., your 8th semester). Therefore you need to plan accordingly and submit your CW proposal at the commencement of your 7th semester. There will be only one presentation in a semester, typically scheduled in the first month (as notified in the Academic Calendar).
