Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs)
 IITs are a group of fifteen
autonomous engineering and
technology oriented institutes of
higher education established and
declared as Institutes of National
Importance by the Parliament of
India.
 IITs were created to train scientists
and engineers, with the aim of
developing a skilled workforce to
support the economic and social
development of India after
independence in 1947.
History
 History of the IIT system dates back
to 1946 when Sir Jogendra Singh of
the Viceroy’s Executive Council set
up a committee whose task was to
consider the creation of Higher
Technical Institutions for post-war
industrial development in India.
History (Cont.)
 The Sarkar committee recommended
establishment of IITs in various parts
of India, affiliated to secondary
institutions with the aim of producing
not just undergraduates, but
researchers and academicians.
 These institutes were expected to
maintain high educational standards.
Original IITs
1. As a step towards this
direction, the first IIT was
established in 1951, in
Kharagpur (near
Kolkata) in the state of
West Bengal.
2. IIT Bombay was
founded in 1958 at
Powai, Mumbai with
assistance from
UNESCO and the
Soviet Union, which
provided technical
expertise.
3. IIT Madras is located in the city of
Chennai in Tamil Nadu. It was
established in 1959 with technical
assistance from the Government of
West Germany.
4. IIT Kanpur was established in 1959
in the city of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
During its first 10 years, IIT Kanpur
benefited from the Kanpur–Indo-
American Programme (KIAP),
where a consortium of nine US
universities. Under the program,
faculty members from these
Institutions assisted the Institute in
the setting up of the academic
programs and development of
laboratories.
5. Established as the College of
Engineering in 1961, located in
Hauz Khas was renamed as IIT
Delhi.
6. IIT Guwahati
was established in
1994 near the city
of Guwahati
(Assam) on the
northen banks of
the Brahmaputra
River.
7. IIT Roorkee, originally known as the
University of Roorkee, was
established in 1847 as the first
engineering college of the British
Empire. Located in Uttarakhand, the
college was renamed The Thomson
College of Civil Engineering in
1854. It became first technical
university of India in 1949 and was
renamed University of Roorkee
which was included in the IIT
system in 2001.

900–1,300 million per year for each
IIT. Other sources of funds include
student fees and research funding
from governmental agencies and the
private industry.
Features
Features (cont.)
 The availability of resources has
translated into superior infrastructure
and qualified faculty in the IITs and
consequently higher competition
among students to gain admissions
into the IITs.
 The various IITs function
autonomously, and their special status
as Institutes of National Importance
facilitates the smooth running of IITs,
virtually free from both regional as
well as student politics.
Features (cont.)
Features (cont.)
 IITs can create their own curricula
and adapt rapidly to the changes in
educational requirements, free from
bureaucratic hurdles.
Features (cont.)
 The government has no direct control
over internal policy decisions of IITs
(such as faculty recruitment) but has
representation on the IIT Council.
Features (cont.)
 The academic policies, teaching,
training and research activities of
each IIT are reviewed by its Senate
to maintain the highest standards.
The senate comprises all
professors of the Institute and
student representatives.
Features (cont.)
 We follow the credit system of
performance evaluation, with
proportional weighting of courses
based on their importance. Relative
grading is preferred by considering
the overall performance of the class.
