Strategically located in the historic city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, the campus serves as a vital hub for preserving traditional weaving techniques while integrating modern textile engineering practices.

These resources allow students to gain hands-on experience in every stage of textile production, from yarn preparation and fabric structure to dyeing, printing, and finished garment quality control. Beyond academics, the institute fosters a holistic development environment, offering separate hostel facilities for boys and girls, a rich library of textile literature, and recreational spaces. With a commitment to social equity, the institute provides a monthly stipend to all students, making technical education accessible to those from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
