Who Are We?
The Athletics team at this institution is made up of approximately 35 members. During regular days, practices are held in the evening. However, in preparation for Inter-IIT competitions, practices are held twice a day. The upcoming events include Cross GC, Athletics GC, and AAVHAN, all of which are planned to take place in the next semester. More information about these events and the team can be found on the institution's gymkhana website.
What Have We Done So Far?
The growth and the performance, as well as the results of the Inter-IIT competitions, can be found on the institution's gymkhana website. This event has been held annually since the institution's inception and its success varies from year to year.
What is our Vision?
The Athletics Club at IIT Bombay has a 400-meter outdoor track in the shape of a stadium, with eight lanes that are 1.22 meters wide. The institute provides all necessary equipment for field events such as shot put, discus, hammer, and javelin. Additionally, running spikes for different track events have been introduced this year to support athletes during various level camps and Inter-Hostel GCs. These facilities are available to all students on campus and can be accessed by presenting a valid IIT Bombay ID card.
In addition to the outdoor facilities, the club is planning to introduce indoor facilities for certain events in the future. Facilities for jumps, including long jump, high jump and pole vault pit, can be used for workout purpose with the permission of the Institute Athletics Secretary only. No other usage will be entertained.
Who are we looking for, and what's in it for you?
Participating in athletics requires a combination of physical and mental abilities such as strength, endurance, and determination. Our athletics program offers ample opportunities to develop and improve these skills through a variety of events, and our selection procedure will be based on the same.
