IIT Jammu:

The plan to establish IIT Jammu, along with four other IITs in Chhattisgarh, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala, was announced by the Hon’ble Finance Minister in the Union Budget 2014-15.

The Indian Institute of Technology Jammu was inaugurated on 6th August 2016, and welcomed the first batch of students into the campus in Paloura, Jammu. In the initial phases, the establishment of IIT Jammu was done under the mentorship of IIT Delhi.

In 2018, IIT Jammu shifted its primary operations to the 400 acres of lush green land in Jagti village, just outside Jammu city, provided by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir for establishing its main campus. Currently, Phases 1A, 1B and 1C of the campus are fully operational. The main campus of the Institute is located on National Highway–44, 17 km from the Jammu Airport and 19 km from the Jammu Tawi Railway Station.

The campus in Paloura houses the high-end research facility: Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF or SAPTARSHI Labs), equipped with highly sophisticated state-of-the-art instruments to enable researchers in basic sciences and engineering.
