History ( IIT Jammu )

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, Phase 1A of the main campus, spread across 25 acres, is operational. Phase 1B and 1C are undergoing rapid construction. 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 now accommodates PhD scholars. It also houses the high-end research facility: Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF or SAPTARSHI Labs), equipped with highly sophisticated state-of-art instruments to enable researchers in basic sciences and engineering.

Previously, the Central Library was functional at the Paloura Campus. Since 2019, it has been shifted to a large hall at the Jagti campus. Central Library, IIT Jammu will soon be relocated to the Lecture Theatre Complex (Phase-1C) at more spacious location having all the well-equipped facilities.
