T-Shirts.

About the t-shirts.

180 GSM combed cotton, regular fit with a straight hem and half-sleeves cut slightly longer than standard so it doesn't ride up on the cycle to class. Machine-wash cold, tumble dry low. Each tee is printed using water-based inks that hold after 50+ washes. Designs are built around institute-specific slang, dept memes, and batch references — not generic college graphics you'd find anywhere else.

Founded in 2015 as Kerala's first and only IIT, IIT Palakkad began life inside the Ahalia Health Heritage & Knowledge Village before moving to its own Nila campus in February 2019 [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIT_Palakkad]. Today the institute has fully settled into its permanent Sahyadri campus — 504 acres of eco-conscious infrastructure nestled at the scenic foothills of the Western Ghats, designed with net-zero carbon ambitions in mind [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIT_Palakkad]. The name Sahyadri itself is an homage to the mountain range that frames the campus, giving IITPKD one of the most striking natural settings in the IIT system. The institute offers B.Tech programmes across eight disciplines alongside M.Tech, M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees, and ranked 64th in NIRF Engineering 2024. Student energy peaks every year at Petrichor, IITPKD's annual techno-cultural fest — named after the earthy scent of the first rain — blending hackathons, robotics competitions, and cultural performances into a two-day celebration [petrichor.events]. Young, fast-growing, and rooted in Kerala's rich landscape, IIT Palakkad is building its identity one batch at a time.

Frequently asked.

• How long does delivery take to IIT Palakkad's Sahyadri campus?

  We ship to IIT Palakkad's permanent Sahyadri campus at Kanjikode, Palakkad, Kerala – 678623. Standard delivery typically takes 5–7 business days from dispatch. Kerala is well-covered by courier partners in the Shiprocket network, though remote campus locations can occasionally add a day. Use your hostel or department building name along with the full institute address at checkout to ensure smooth last-mile delivery.

• When is the IIT Palakkad convocation, and should I order merch in advance?

  IIT Palakkad held its first convocation in 2019 (for the founding 2015 batch) and typically schedules its annual ceremony in the second half of the year. Because the institute is still young, each graduating batch is close-knit — making custom grad-season merch especially meaningful. We recommend placing your order at least 10–14 days before the ceremony to allow for production and shipping to the Kanjikode campus.

• Do you sell official Petrichor fest merchandise?

  No — our merchandise is not officially affiliated with Petrichor or IIT Palakkad's student bodies. We offer independently designed IITPKD-themed apparel featuring the institute name, Sahyadri campus, batch year, and department. If you want personalised gear to wear or sell during Petrichor, our design studio lets you create it yourself in minutes — no minimum order required for single items.

• Can we place a bulk order for our batch, department, or club?

  Yes. For orders of 15 or more items, write to us at [email protected] with your design requirements, sizes, and quantity. Bulk orders typically take 10–14 business days from artwork approval to delivery to Palakkad. We support group orders for convocation batches, department associations, hostel groups, and Petrichor volunteer or organiser teams.

• Can I customise a product with my department, hostel, or batch year?

  Absolutely. Our design studio supports full customisation — add your department (e.g., CSE, EE, ME, Civil), hostel name, batch year, or any IITPKD-themed text and graphics. You can upload your own artwork or use our AI design tools. Customised items are made to order, so please allow an additional 3–5 days on top of standard delivery timelines.
