Bhaiti
The 49th Inter IIT Sports Meet was held at the serene campus of IIT Guwahati from 16th to 29th December 2013.
'Bhaiti' is the first ever mascot to be introduced in the history of Inter IIT Sports Meet.
Inspired from the slender yet strong bamboo, Bhaiti is young, energetic and jovial and is ever ready to play along any game and enjoys them. Bhaiti is wearing a Dhoti, Gomocha (Towel) and Shirt traditional to the Assamese men during the Bihu Celebrations.

The Name : 'Bhaiti'
The word in Assamese for 'Younger Brother' or 'Loving Brother'. The word is even used to address strangers whom one meet for the first time especially among peers and start a conversation.
Athletics
6ft panels were constructed and placed at strategic points marking the venues for each sport.
All this would not have been possible without the help of the entire Design Team especially Subir Dey for lending a hand and Abhijit Padun for the etnic inputs and the guidance of Dr. D. Udaya Kumar
