How to Reach IIT Jodhpur

Why Does the Address Say Both NH 62 and NH 65?

The institute's own pages use two highway numbers and two spellings for the same place. The address in the footer reads N.H. 62, Nagaur Road, Karwar. The institute's travel page says National Highway 65 at Karwad village. Both describe Nagaur Road, so give a driver the road and a landmark and skip the number.

Say "Nagaur Road, past Mandore". The institute gives this wording for prepaid auto and taxi drivers. The campus covers 852 acres and sits north-north-west of the city, towards Nagaur (source: IIT Jodhpur how-to-reach and introduction pages).

Use the prepaid taxi service and ask for IIT Jodhpur, Nagaur Road, Karwar. Confirm the fare before you pay. If your flight lands late in the evening, book a taxi ahead. The airport's office number is 0291-2595204.

Best for: arrivals with luggage who want the shortest handover between the plane and the campus.

Jodhpur Junction (JU) is the station for IIT Jodhpur. The institute lists direct links to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kota, Kanpur, Ahmedabad, Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Guwahati, Nagpur, Lucknow and Jaipur.

What Is the Last Mile From Jodhpur Junction?

Google Maps shows no public-transit route from the station to the campus. Best for: first-time visitors, because the station exit and the prepaid stand are fixed steps.

Jodhpur Bus Stand at Raika Bagh, Station Road, is about 24.2 km from the campus and takes about 34 minutes by car. An alternative via New Nagour Road is 23.9 km and about 36 minutes.

The institute says the city is connected by highway to Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur and Ahmedabad. Buses run from Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Vadodara.

What Are the Institute Bus Timings?

The institute runs two buses, B1 and B2. Each trip takes about an hour. The table shows campus-bound services from Monday to Saturday, as posted on the Transport page.

Buses leave the campus from Main Gate Parking, Old Mess and Shamiyana. On Sundays and institute holidays the timetable changes, and the page posts special schedules. The last campus-bound bus reaches the gate at 10:00 PM.

Can You Drive to IIT Jodhpur?

Yes. Use NH 62 (Nagaur Road) from the city. The institute does not publish a visitor parking rule, and students are not allowed to bring cars or motorbikes on campus. Ask the admissions office on 0291-280-1079 where visitors should park.

The institute bus is the lowest-cost option if you can board it. The Transport page does not say whether visitors may ride or what the fare is. Ask the Office of Security and Transports or the admissions office before you plan around it.

Cost order, cheapest first:

1. Institute bus B1 or B2 from Paota or MBM, about 1 hour, if open to you.
2. Prepaid auto or taxi from Jodhpur Junction or the bus stand, 34 to 43 minutes.
3. Prepaid or pre-booked taxi from the airport, 41 to 48 minutes.

The institute publishes no fare for any of these. Fares change by time of day, so confirm the amount at the counter or with the driver before you start.

How Do You Move Between the Campus and the City?

The institute buses are the scheduled link. They stop at Paota, the Railway Station, MBM Engineering College and AIIMS Jodhpur, and the institute says buses run between the campus and the city at regular intervals. Mehrangarh Fort is about 28 km from the campus, so a city trip is a half-day plan.

What Can You Do Once You Reach the Campus?

Guards stand at every corner of the campus and will help if you are lost. A campus road map is given to you on arrival. Hostel rooms are allotted on the reporting date and not before.
