New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) A high-level committee is understood to have favoured Jodhpur as the site for IIT, Rajasthan.

The HRD Ministry's site selection committee, headed by Additional Secretary Ashok Thakur, visited different places in Rajashtan last month and has submitted its report to HRD Minister Kapil Sibal.

The committee is understood to have said that Jodhpur is a fit location for the IIT. It has also favoured Udaipur for setting up of a proposed IIM.

The government started IIT Rajasthan last year, but this institute is running in IIT Kanpur as it is yet to have its own campus.

The site selection for the institute was delayed after the HRD Ministry rejected an earlier proposal to set up the institute at Kota. The ministry rejected Kota on the ground that it did not have a good connectivity.
