JODHPUR : Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur has joined hands with
KRI Trust to launch a “Career Guidance and Career Assessment programme” at the
campus for the budding engineers on 29th June 2023. As the Institute believes, if a
student is given the right direction, passion leads to excellence. Believing in this virtue
of success, IIT Jodhpur in collaboration with KRI Trust will embed individualised career
guidance modules for all students including B.Tech’s as part of their curriculum.
Objective of this initiative is to enable students to identify their core strength,
inclination and aspirations and to help them to evolve into capable professionals for
the future. It will touch upon Career guidance, Career Assessment, Career
Opportunity, Career Competency Building. and Developing Entrepreneurial Aptitude
to name a few.
Speaking on this occasion, Prof. Santanu Chaudhury, Director, IIT Jodhpur said,
“Learning is not attained by chance but it must be sought for with passion and
diligence. We at IIT Jodhpur believe that a student must be empowered to identify
his/her strengths, follow his or her own aspirations, to be distinguished and capable of
handling disruptive changes in the profession. This programme in collaboration with
KRI, an initiative of IIT alumni, will enhance the innate abilities of students to follow their
dreams thereby motivating them to excel in their career beyond the confines of IIT."
The MoU between IIT Jodhpur and KRI Trust was signed by Prof. Santanu Chaudhury,
Director IIT Jodhpur and Veteran Cdr Pradeep Prasad, Trustee KRI Trust in the presence
of Prof. Surajit Ghosh, Dean (IR, AR, CR), Dr Gaurav Bhatnagar Associate Dean (IRO)

to channelise their aspirations and dreams in the right direction. The Career
Development Center at IIT Jodhpur will look after the initiation of the sessions. The
upcoming batch of 2023 will be the first beneficiaries of this unique program and the
sessions will help the students to open up opportunities for them in line with their
interests and passion thereby creating a safe, vibrant and conducive atmosphere for
