CAREER DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 2021 -2022 CDS CDS FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK Established in 2016, IIT Jammu began with 82 students in the B.Tech program. We are now a family of more than 800, flourishing in several disciplines of B.Tech, M.Tech and PhD programmes. We believe self discovery is the route to personal growth and our geography helps our stakeholders experience this in the most powerful ways possible. Our proximity to nature and the picturesque snow-capped mountains offer a great atmosphere for learning and leading, simultaneously. Creating an outstanding learning experience for our students remains our primary goal and the exceptional skills and experience our faculty brings to the table makes us one of the fastest growing 3G IITs in India. Practical skills coupled with a strong hold on theoretical knowledge is further empowered by our swiftly advancing lab facilities. However, last year posed a unique challenge. How do we create a lab experiment experience for our pupils who are tuning in from the computer screens? We got down to work and tried our best to offer lab experiments by virtue of professional photographers, camerapersons, skilled lab assistants and well-formulated experiment manuals. We noticed greater student participation and were able to impart the fundamentals of science and engineering that makes IITians stand apart in the outside world. The students of IIT Jammu are trained to build things from the ground up since the day they join us. They have seen the campus growing and have made essential contributions that will stand with us in the years to come. Because of this, I like to call them, the “Startup Specialists”.They understand the hustle, they know the meaning of what blooms when one strives sincerely in a pursuit to thrive. Their discipline and determination has gotten us this far and I have full faith that our exceptional students will build a unique legacy for themselves in the world. Their roots will be in the mountains as their heads held high in the sky of their achievements. I am proud to report that IIT Jammu’s first batch of graduating engineers are now out and about in the industry. The Career Development Services team at IIT Jammu has been an active catalyst in turning our graduates into responsible professionals . The commitment and zeal of our students keeps us motivated and I’m hopeful that their professional pursuits beyond the campus will serve the society and contribute to nation building.

Our students, researchers and faculty have taken great strides in both academia and industry. At IIT Jammu, we constantly work our way through meticulous education standards which make us stand out as a swiftly evolving world-class engineering institute. Attention to enriching the skills and talents of our students remains the primary focus. Our curriculum equips them with strong fundamentals which are chiselled into practical skills with hands-on training that prepares them to make meaningful contributions to the industry. IIT Jammu currently has 10 academic departments, out of which 6 comprise Engineering subjects, 3 encompass the Sciences while Humanities and Social Sciences being the final one. 6 CDSACADEMIC SPECTRUM IIT Jammu offers an array of specialised programmes in Engineering, Sciences and Humanities with a vision to meet the needs of the industry. An approach to solve real life problems faced by the society and industry is inculcated amidst the pupils since their entry to the institute. IIT Jammu also lays a great emphasis on research-based projects and activities to expose the students to cutting-edge technology and new-age practices. The undergraduate programmes also have a provision that gives students the chance to get a minor degree in other disciplines. This coupled with numerous chances of cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning let a student go beyond their discipline and learn multifaceted skills, which is the need of the hour in today's industry. The admission to these programs is done through arguably the most competitive national level examination: Joint Entrance Examination - Advanced (JEE-Advanced) for B.tech programmes and Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) for admissions to the M.tech programmes.
