Caps.

About the caps.

6-panel structured cap in 100% brushed cotton twill with a pre-curved brim and adjustable plastic back strap. One size fits most. The front panel carries a single embroidered design — either institute name, dept abbreviation, or batch year. Embroidery is stitched at 4,000+ stitch density so the edges stay sharp after regular wear. Spot-clean with a damp cloth, do not machine-wash.

IIT Mandi sits at roughly 1,100 metres in the Kamand Valley, flanked by the Dhauladhar range and the Uhl River — making it the most dramatically positioned IIT campus in the country. Founded in 2009 as one of eight second-generation IITs, it made history in 2015 as the first new IIT to fully relocate its B.Tech students to a permanent campus [¹]. The 538-acre North–South split campus is framed by Himalayan peaks on every side; winters bring genuine snowfall and the occasional fog-induced schedule disruption. Come March, Exodia — the three-day annual cultural and literary fest — turns the valley into an unlikely stage for music, dance, theatre, and art [²]. The sports calendar centres on Rann-Neeti, the inter-college sports fest drawing 1,000+ participants each September [³]. Research here leans into the terrain: sustainable energy, bioengineering, and data sciences are the institute's calling cards. If you've survived a winter semester with frozen pipes and still made it to an 8 a.m. lecture, this merch is yours.

Frequently asked.

• Do you deliver to IIT Mandi's Kamand campus in Himachal Pradesh?

  Yes — we deliver to IIT Mandi's Kamand campus. Because Kamand is roughly 14 km from Mandi town and sits in a mountain valley, deliveries typically take 6–8 business days from dispatch (longer than metro campuses). In the winter months (December–February), heavy fog or snowfall on the Mandi–Kullu road can add 2–3 days to courier schedules, so we recommend ordering early and tracking your parcel closely. Use your hostel name, room number, and 'Kamand, Mandi — 175075, Himachal Pradesh' in the shipping address to ensure it reaches you.

• When is IIT Mandi's convocation, and should I order merch ahead of time?

  IIT Mandi typically holds its annual convocation between October and December, though the exact date is announced each year by the institute. If you want hoodies, tees, or keepsakes for the ceremony, we recommend placing your order at least three weeks in advance to account for the extra transit time to Himachal Pradesh. Batch or department bulk orders (15+ units) need 10–14 days of production lead time on top of delivery, so reach out to us early at [email protected].

• Do you sell Exodia or Rann-Neeti fest merchandise?

  We are not the official merchandise vendor for Exodia (IIT Mandi's cultural fest) or Rann-Neeti (the sports fest) — those are managed by the respective student committees on campus. What we offer is year-round IIT Mandi-themed merchandise: Kamand Valley prints, Himalayan-inspired designs, hostel gear, and campus-culture references that work well beyond fest season. So whether it's April or November, you can rep Mandi without waiting for the fest calendar.

• Can we place a bulk order for a hostel, club, or department at IIT Mandi?

  Absolutely. For orders of 15 or more units we offer bulk pricing and can accommodate custom prints — hostel names, club logos, department text (e.g., CSE '27, Civil, Mechanical), or batch year. Lead time for bulk orders is 10–14 business days from artwork approval, plus 6–8 days shipping to Kamand. Plan for roughly three weeks end-to-end. Email [email protected] with your quantity, design brief, and preferred delivery window and we'll send a quote.

• Can I customise a piece with my department, hostel, or a Mandi-specific design?

  Yes. For bulk orders (15+ units), adding department text, hostel identifiers, or a Kamand Valley / Himalaya-themed graphic is straightforward — mention it when you write to [email protected]. For single-unit custom requests (e.g., a personal graduation gift with a Mandi-specific design), we handle these case by case; use the contact form on the website with your idea and we'll confirm feasibility and cost before you place the order.
