The official literary magazine of the campus, Kshitij is now in its 24th year of existence. Initially started as a Hindi wall magazine to promote Hindi literature among research students, it has now evolved into a print magazine with separate editorial teams for English and Hindi, printing short stories and poetry in 2-3 issues annually. There is also a special Open Editorial, through which students who are not members can contribute. To support these, there is a Finance Cell that oversees sponsorship and a Design Cell to bring it all together. True to its origins, Kshitij also creates a special Hindi Wall Magazine to commemorate Hindi Diwas every year, which is displayed as part of the exhibition in the Central Library. Kshitij also organizes Kavyanjali — a Hindi poetry recitation evening — yearly.

Kshitij is the literary magazine - by the students , for the students. The basic aim of the magazine is to inculcate in the students of the institute a good reading habit - and the managing members of the magazine with an atmosphere of working in a group of people with common interests - and in turn spreading a literary culture in the campus in both the languages : English and Hindi.
