What Students Say

Sri Om Shubham

I had the privilege of enrolling in the "M.Tech in AR VR" course last year, and it has been an incredible journey. This course provided me with a profound understanding of the immersive world of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), going beyond just visual experiences to engage other senses.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned during the course was that AR VR is not solely about the visual aspect but also about captivating and involving our other senses. This broader perspective allowed me to appreciate the true potential of AR VR in creating fully immersive and interactive experiences that can transport users to entirely new worlds.

Sandeep Bhandari

Hi I am Sandeep Bhandari and I am working as a Security Engineer at Amazon. I have been working since last four years. I always wanted to pursue my masters. But leaving my job doesn't align with my personal goals. So taking up an executive course was more viable option for me.
At IIT Jodhpur, I think we got the course which is a perfect balance of executive and physical degree. In last one year. The journey was quite amazing. And yes, coming from our comfort zone and joining the classes were the most challenging task and once it's done, 60 percent work was already completed.The immersion program was really good and I hope to work alongside other batchmates and faculties.
