On behalf of the Office of Student Affairs, I extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to each one of you as you embark on this transformative journey at IIIT Hyderabad.
As Dean of Student Affairs, my role is to ensure that your experience here extends well beyond the lecture hall. Our committee oversees a wide spectrum of student life - from hostel and dining services to sports, cultural activities, clubs, social service, health and wellness, and everything that makes campus life meaningful. Together with a committed team of faculty, staff, and student representatives, we are dedicated to making your years at IIITH a time you will look back on with pride and warmth.
You are joining a community with a remarkable spirit – one built on intellectual curiosity, creativity, and a deep sense of belonging. We encourage you to dive in: find a club that sparks your interest, discover a sport you have never tried, take the stage at a cultural fest, or lend your voice to a campus initiative. The opportunities are yours to shape.
We also want you to know that this community stands with you in the difficult moments, not just the celebratory ones. Whether you are navigating academic pressure, personal transitions, or simply finding your footing in a new place, our support systems such as counselling, peer networks, faculty mentors, and student mentors and representatives, are here for you. You need not face any challenge alone.
Our campus thrives when each member feels respected, heard, and valued. I encourage you to be an active, compassionate participant in the life of this institution and to reach out to us whenever you need to.
Welcome! We are truly glad you are here.
Warm regards,
Dr Radhika Mamidi
Dean of Student Affairs
