Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur

Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur was established in 2008, to foster technology education and research in India. The Institute is committed to technological thought and action to benefit the economic development of India. Scholarship in teaching and learning; Scholarship in research and creative accomplishments; and relevance to Industry are three driving forces for us at IIT Jodhpur.

IIT Jodhpur functions from its sprawling residential Permanent Campus of 852 acres on National Highway 65, north-northwest of Jodhpur towards Nagaur. This campus is meticulously planned and envisioned to stand as a symbol of academics – simple, but deep.

As on date, the Institute has 848 Students (555 B.Tech., 56 M.Tech., 71 M.Sc. and 166 Ph.D.) along with 57 Faculty Members and 60 Staff Members. The Institute is committed to multidisciplinary approach of technology development. Hence, it has established state-of-the-art laboratories for basic research, and has organised its academic degree activities through Departments and its coordinated research through Centers for Technologies.

Vision:

• The Institute Promotes technology thought and action, and
• The Institute Prepares needed technical human resources to meet the technology challenges of the nation.

The Institute is engaged in Creating a vibrant technology institute that incubates and promotes learning, research, invention and eventually innovation; and Preparing each primary stakeholder towards their dharma, while continuing to adhere to its core values:

IIT Jodhpur is on a steep development agenda. In the initial years, we are establishing the basics of a Technology Institute with strong teaching and research focus. In the next few years, the institute has set itself the goal of growing in to a Sectoral Technology Institute with strong industrial research, but with limited technology focus areas, like energy and fuels, critical technologies, water, automotives and transport, and healthcare. In the long term, IIT Jodhpur is expected to grow towards providing holistic technology education to its students in association with national institutes in India.

IIT Jodhpur is constructing a Technology Park to strengthen its industry interactions, on its permanent campus for harvesting technologies of national importance. This IITJ Technology Park is poised to host the Solar Energy Technology development and Defence Technologies. Discussions are underway with Government and private industries to work on other select national technology missions, like water, healthcare and automotives.

Today, India has to build a competitive edge over other emerging economies with its strategic research outcomes, patented technologies, surge in innovation, high productivity of human resources, reduced cost of products, and high quality products and services, to ensure economic growth of India. Premier institutes of technology have the onus to shoulder responsibilities in this major national crusade. And, at IIT Jodhpur, we have taken seriously this clarion call for re-casting afresh our model of technical education.
