Having produced cream of the crop students during the past decades, IITs became hallmark of quality technology education internationally, simply by creating the needed ambience for quality academics. Our endeavor at IIT Jodhpur is to live up to this brand image, which has been built meticulously over the period of 50-60 years, and to keep producing world-class students to contribute towards the development of the nation as well as the world.

Functioning presently from its temporary campus at MBM Engineering College in Jodhpur, IIT Jodhpur will shift in the forthcoming years to a sprawling residential campus on 852 acres on National Highway 65, north-northwest of Jodhpur towards Nagaur. The new campus of IIT Jodhpur is meticulously planned and envisioned to stand as a symbol of academics – simple, but deep. .

Collaborations with Industry

IIT Jodhpur is initiating to collaborate with industry towards enhancing the learning experience of students and collaboration opportunities for Faculty Members. These include:
1. Vanguard Lectures; and
2. Industry Immersion Program.

Before joining engineering, many students are confident, curious, logical and studious. These are almost pre-requisites for a degree in engineer, and I was no different. However, when you join an IIT, you realize that you're exposure to the real world has been highly limited, that your opportunities to engage your curiosities, to structure logical and engineered solutions to problems, both theoretical and practical real life ones, have never been tested.
Campus life in IIT Jodhpur changes students to broad-minded bright individuals, capable of networking, academically proficient, and with a whole new experience to face the real world. The most amazing aspect of campus life is that it brings together a plethora of diverse personalities, puts them through almost identical tasks, events, courses and activities, and yet manages to give each person a unique experience. Though engineering is the focus of the courses, it is not the most important thing a student takes away from these four years. Friends, memories, activities like sports, technical projects, cultural events and diverse hobbies like photography, painting, kite-flying and trekking - there is everything you could wish for to experience. The most sacred tool is time management.
After completing my degree in 2013, I've decided to combine my inherent interest in technology and my passion for strategy and management at National Instruments as an Application Engineer. My thanks will always remain with the institute for making me what I am today, giving me the opportunities to explore the world with freedom and resources. IIT Jodhpur is entrepreneurial, it's different, and it gives you lessons you never imagined you would learn when you took up engineering.

• Document what you do: You always experiment, try out cool things everyday (they may not seem cool to you, but it maybe for others), just take some time out and make a note of that, write a blog post. Not because that would be show-off but because it will go a long way in inspiring and helping your juniors or any other person from outside your college as well. I can vouch for it because there have been many blogs from whom I have taken inspiration.
• Be passionate for engineering: Make things, create! Its the best way to have fun, when code that you had been hacking on runs, or the Arduino LED glows, the ecstasy is incomparable. At the end you will end up tinkering with a lot of things and a whole bunch of messy ideas in your head.
• Give back: You will always find yourself looking up answers on Google, Stack Overflow and the like. Take a moment after you solve your problem, share it with the world, answer a few questions on Stack Overflow. Improve the community as a member, because if others hadn not contributed, you would not have found the answers.
• Open your eyes and ears: Look outside your world, there are a lot of great people to meet and find out. Keep yourself updated with the latest from the tech world. Read other blogs, HN, etc.
• Re-invent the wheel: You can go ahead and try to make a square wheel (does not matter if you fail), the experience that you gain along the way will be what will be valuable to you. Do not be afraid to re-implement something because it already exists - who knows, yours could be different or better?
• Find your specialty: That one thing that you are good at, do it often, iterate until you are good. You find yourself drawn to cool user-interfaces then just do HTML/CSS just do not for Python because your friend is doing it. As it is stated in the Unix Philosophy - Do one thing, do it well!
