Postman Classroom Program: NITK students build cutting-edge software with an API-first approach

Postman's partnership with the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) has successfully completed its first year, boasting significant achievements such as the development of the IRIS ERP system—a comprehensive platform that streamlines the institute's operations by managing tasks like admissions and alumni interactions. Built by NITK students using Ruby on Rails, IRIS employs a robust set of RESTful APIs developed, tested, and documented with Postman, which also facilitated seamless integration with external services. The API-first approach adopted for IRIS ensured a modular, flexible architecture, leading to higher consistency and easier third-party integrations. Postman greatly contributed by providing tools for API debugging, testing, and documentation, which enhanced team collaboration and stakeholder engagement. With nearly 8,000 active users and about 20,000 overall, IRIS has significantly improved efficiency and reduced manual efforts, highlighting the promise of API-driven development. As the collaboration enters its second year, Postman and NITK plan to host the first-ever API Day in Coastal Karnataka, while also promoting API literacy through the Postman Classroom Program, which offers educators resources and free licenses to teach APIs effectively.
