Prof Avinash Kumar Agarwal, director of IIT Jodhpur, emphasised the importance of this initiative in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. “Teaching first-year courses in both Hindi and English will enhance students’ comprehension and interaction with the course material, facilitating a seamless adaptation to the academic environment of IIT Jodhpur,” Agarwal said.

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.

Moreover, in 2021, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) had approved 11 regional-language BTech courses in India.
