About IIT Roorkee
Before the IIT system existed, there was Roorkee. Founded in 1847 to train surveyors for the Ganga Canal, the Thomason College of Civil Engineering is the oldest engineering institution in Asia — older by a century than the IIT Act [¹]. It became the seventh IIT in 2001, first created by upgrading an existing university [¹]. The 365-acre Uttarakhand campus retains its colonial character: the Canal Engineer's Bungalow still stands, and the library holds a rare 1623 First Folio of Shakespeare [¹]. Student life centres on the Bhawans — Rajendra, Ganga, Cautley, Sarojini — and two signature fests: Cognizance (Asia's second-largest student tech fest, est. 2003) and Thomso (cultural fest since 1982, 40,000+ attendees) [² ³]. Alumni include Harshil Mathur (Mech, '13), co-founder of Razorpay, and Naveen Jain (BE, '79), founder of InfoSpace [¹]. The oldest institution. The newest IIT. All on one sleeve.

About our 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.

FAQs about IIT Roorkee
Do you ship to IIT Roorkee campus and Bhawans?
Yes — we deliver to all IIT Roorkee Bhawans including Rajendra, Govind, Jawahar, Ravindra, Rajiv, Ganga, Cautley, Sarojini, and Himalaya Bhawan. Roorkee is in Uttarakhand, and standard delivery from our major fulfilment warehouses takes 5–7 business days. Include your full Bhawan name, room number, and IIT Roorkee, Roorkee, Uttarakhand – 247667 in the shipping address, and your mobile number for courier contact at the gate.
When is IIT Roorkee's convocation — should I order merch in advance?
IIT Roorkee's convocation date shifts year to year: the 24th was held on July 27, 2024, and the 25th on September 5, 2025. Whether it lands in July or September, we recommend ordering at least 2 weeks before the ceremony. Standard apparel ships in 5–7 business days to Uttarakhand; custom or personalised prints need an extra 3–4 days. For bulk graduation-group orders, reach out 3–4 weeks ahead to guarantee on-time delivery.
Do you sell official Cognizance or Thomso merchandise?
We are not an official vendor for Cognizance (IIT Roorkee's tech fest, running since 2003) or Thomso (the cultural fest since 1982, named after the institute's founder Sir James Thomason). Our IITR collection is year-round Roorkee-themed merchandise — campus heritage tees, Ganga Canal-inspired prints, Bhawan-name hoodies — designed for students and alumni who want to carry the spirit of Asia's oldest engineering college beyond fest season.
Can I place a bulk order for a Bhawan council, department club, or batch?
Absolutely. We handle bulk orders for Bhawan councils, department societies, sports teams, and fest committees. Minimum order is 15 units, with a production and delivery lead time of 10–14 days. Write to us at bulk@iitianvibes.com with your institute (IIT Roorkee), Bhawan or club name, quantity, preferred design, and your deadline. Per-unit pricing drops significantly at scale.
Can I add my IIT Roorkee department or Bhawan name to the design?
Yes — for bulk orders of 15 or more units, adding your department (e.g., 'Dept. of Civil Engineering' or 'CSE') or Bhawan name (e.g., 'Ganga Bhawan' or 'Cautley') is a standard customisation option. For single-unit personalisation, message us via the Contact page and we'll evaluate it case by case; single custom prints are possible but carry a small additional fee and a slightly longer turnaround.
