Board of Career Development, IIT Jodhpur

What Board of Career Development, IIT Jodhpur does

The Board of Career Development (also referred to as the Training and Placement Office, TPO) is the campus recruitment and internship facilitation department of the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IIT Jodhpur), an Institute of National Importance established in 2008 under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. The TPO operates as a non-profit, institutionally funded intermediary that connects IIT Jodhpur's 4,000+ students — across B.Tech, M.Tech, M.Sc., and Ph.D. programs in 11 academic departments — with enterprise recruiters, including Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Goldman Sachs, Samsung, and Reliance, among 25+ named logos. Its mission is competence development, career planning, and employment search support for students, executed through pre-placement talks, screening tests, interview scheduling, and on-campus recruitment drives. The TPO has 11 staff and is supported by student volunteers, and it reported an 85.5% overall placement rate for the 2025-26 batch.

The TPO's core product is a web-based campus recruitment management platform hosted at spc.iitj.ac.in, comprising three role-specific portals (student login, recruiter login, admin login), a public placement statistics dashboard, and digital forms including the Job Announcement Form (JAF) and Internship Announcement Form (IAF). Recruiters register, post role requirements, and conduct end-to-end hiring on campus; students register, upload resumes for approval, apply to positions, and track offer status. The TPO also publishes a Placement & Internship Brochure for each season (currently 2026-27) and maintains an active LinkedIn presence via the Career Development Cell. The platform is backed by the institute's research infrastructure, most notably a new-generation AI lab with an NVIDIA GPU-based supercomputing system.

The TPO operates on a free-service model: it charges neither students nor recruiters, generating no direct revenue. It is funded institutionally as a department of a government-funded public university. Distribution is conducted through direct corporate outreach by TPO staff, the institute's website, and LinkedIn; recruiters self-register through the dedicated portal. The TPO has expanded its service surface over time, coinciding with the institute's launch of new B.Tech programs in AI and Data Science, Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Materials Engineering, and a new School of Management and Entrepreneurship with a Tech-MBA focus in AY 2020-21.
