While the sem will begin on time for the rest of us (IITians), the freshies this year will have to wait for one extra week to join the insti! This news report tells that counselling held on day3 and day4 across all IITs will have to be repeated because some error had occured earlier.

So, all the dear freshies-to-be, have a nice time! And don't you worry, the Profs will always manage to call you guys for extra classes and compensate for this one week loss, due to no fault of yours.
