T-series
MIT has the unique practice of 'T-series'. This is a mentorship system and the word is said to have originated from the term Technocrat. Each new 'technocrat' of the institute is assigned to a mentor from the previous batch. He / she also inherits the complete set of 'T-seniors' from this mentor.
