IIT Jodhpur Offers Hindi Classes for First-Year Engineering Students
IIT Jodhpur allows first-year engineering students to attend classes in Hindi.
This helps students who are more comfortable with Hindi, especially those from Hindi-medium schools.
While the materials and exams are still in English, the classes are conducted in Hindi to make the transition easier.
The aim is to improve understanding and grades, as some students struggle with the sudden shift to English in the first year.
Teachers are finding this new way to ease students into the challenging curriculum of IIT.
Most students switch to the English section in the second year.
IIT Jodhpur offers first-year engineering classes in Hindi.

Everything except classroom interaction is in English.
