Campus Overview
IIDT's campus is built around a Global Green Field Secured Netted Flying Zone, one of India's largest dedicated drone research and development facilities. Every part of the campus is designed around a single idea: give students, researchers, and industry partners a real, working environment to design, build, test, and fly drones, not just study them. From smart classrooms to a dedicated runway and an in-house testing lab, the campus supports the full journey from concept to flight.

A Closer Look at the Campus
IIDT's laboratories are equipped with modern drones, simulation software, and research tools purpose-built for design, prototyping, testing, and hands-on learning. At the centre of it all sits the Integrated Command and Control Centre, a real-time platform for aerial surveillance and live drone feed integration, enhanced with AI-powered analytics for rapid situational awareness. Every element of the campus, labs, runway, classrooms, and control systems, is aligned with internationally recognised safety, quality, and performance standards, so training here reflects how drone operations actually run in the field.
A Growing National Network
IIDT's flagship campus at Dodi anchors a wider network of specialised drone facilities across India, spanning AI analytics, hardware innovation, and pilot training.
