The Indian Institute of Technology Jammu (IIT Jammu) is a public research university located in Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India. As one of India's Indian Institutes of Technology, the university came into existence in 2016 when a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Department of Higher Education, Government of Jammu and Kashmir and Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, was signed. The IIT campus has been constructed in the village of Jagti, in Nagrota Tehsil, in Jammu district.

Set up in the LCD campus, the temporary campus of IIT Jammu has all the facilities required for a hassle-free academic environment. A total of 40,000 sq.ft. built-up area including hostels, house classrooms, a seminar room, a library, a computer Laboratory, faculty offices, a cafeteria, and recreational and creative facilities. The campus has volleyball, basketball, badminton courts, and cricket nets. Indoor sports facilities include table tennis, carom, chess, and snooker. Rooms for music, dance, and other activities are also available. There is a very nice open-air stage in the academic building which serves as the centre of cultural activities and performances.[3]

Initially, the first batch of B.Tech. students stayed at the temporary campus for the first two years. They were subsequently transferred to the transit Campus once it was finished to stay with all the subsequent batches. The temporary campus now houses only the P.hD students and research scholars.
