IIT Jodhpur was first announced by the Central Government in July 2007, although the formal announcement was made in 2008, with [[IIT Kanpur]] mentoring IIT Jodhpur {{Citation needed|date=October 2015}}. In July 2008, the first academic session of IIT Jodhpur began at the IIT Kanpur campus, with 109 undergraduate students in [[Computer Science Engineering]], [[Mechanical Engineering]] and [[Electrical Engineering]]. The institute was sanctioned as an [[Indian Institutes of Technology|IIT]] for [[Rajasthan]], and not for [[Jodhpur]] in specific. It was after considering various cities, including [[Ajmer]], [[Bikaner]], [[Jaipur]], [[Jodhpur]], [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]] and [[Udaipur]] that the [[Vijay Shankar Vyas|Prof. Vijay Shankar Vyas]] led committee suggested Jodhpur as the location for the IIT in Rajasthan. In late 2009, the [[Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)|MHRD]] granted final approval for establishing the institute at Jodhpur.
