This groundbreaking initiative was approved by the Senate during its 38th meeting held on 26 June 2024.

Challenges

Recognizing the challenges faced by students with limited proficiency in English, IIT Jodhpur is ready to introduce professional education in Indian languages, in compliance with the spirit of the National Education Policy – 2020.

Starting with the first-year B.Tech. courses, IIT Jodhpur will provide instruction in both Hindi and English.

English augmentation classes will also be given to enhance the English proficiency of the students.

Director of IIT Jodhpur

Director of IIT Jodhpur, Prof. Avinash Kumar Agarwal, emphasized the importance of this initiative in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

He said teaching first-year courses in both Hindi and English will enhance students’ comprehension and interaction with the course material.

It facilitates a seamless adaptation to the academic environment of IIT Jodhpur, said Prof. Agarwal.

He highlighted the language barrier faced by many students from non-English speaking backgrounds and proposed this bilingual approach to ensure equal rigor in the teaching-learning process for both language sections.

Implementation

To implement this major initiative, first-year students will be given the option to choose between Hindi and English lectures before the commencement of classes, say sources from IIT Jodhpur.

Two sections will be identified based on these preferences, and the same instructor will teach both sections to maintain consistency and rigor in education.

Students will also have the choice to switch between sections. The students will face the same evaluations, ensuring the same rigor in the teaching-learning processes will be maintained by IIT Jodhpur.
