Dear Students, Greetings from PGAC! PGAC has received concerns from students regarding their involvement in laboratory procurement and billing-related activities, including obtaining quotations, coordinating purchases, processing bills, and related administrative work. To better understand the prevalence of these practices and their impact on students' academic and research activities, we are conducting a short survey among the postgraduate student community. Survey Link: https://forms.gle/UexTPsBMLSnAXgrq7 The survey is intended to collect data across departments and research groups and will help us represent student concerns more effectively in discussions with the institute authorities. All responses will be treated confidentially and analysed only in aggregate form. We encourage all students to participate, regardless of whether they have experienced this issue, as a broader response will help us better understand the current situation. Thank you for your time and support. Note: The survey is completely anonymous. While responses are restricted to IIT Bombay email IDs and limited to one response per email ID to ensure data integrity, no names, roll numbers, or other personally identifiable information are being collected. -- “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.” - Swami Vivekananda Thanks & Regards, Anshu (she/her) General Secretary, Academic Affairs (PG) 2026-27 Post Graduate Council for Academics and Mentoring Programmes (PG-CAMP) Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Powai, Mumbai - 400076 Contact: +91 8630465468 Email: gsecaapg@iitb.ac.in Website: https://gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/pgac/ Follow us on social media: https://www.linkedin.com/company/post-graduate-academic-council-iit-bombay/ https://www.instagram.com/pgac_iitb/ https://www.facebook.com/pgac.iitb/
