Historical Perspective IIT Roorkee has its roots in the Roorkee College, which was set up in 1847. It was renamed as the Thomason College of Civil Engineering in 1854. The College laid the foundation of modern engineering education and the use of Civil Engineering practices in the infrastructure development of the country. The irrigation infrastructure in the form of dams and canals, roads and highways, railway, bridges etc. in the country- all have been the outcome of the engineering education imparted in this-the only engineering institution in the country at that point of time. It got elevated as the first technical University of the country in 1948 through the University Roorkee Act, 1947 passed by the United Provinces Legislature. University of Roorkee also became the first institution in the country to offer postgraduate programs in engineering and technology in 1955. On September 21, 2001, the University was converted into an IIT by the Government of India through an Act of Parliament and recognized as an Institution of National importance. Roorkee is the entry point of Uttarakhand state. It is on the way to Mussoorie and Haridwar from Delhi. IIT Roorkee has a beautiful green campus. Various sports facilities including Billiards, Swimming, Hockey, Football and Yoga are available in the Campus. The Institute provides 100% accommodation to faculty members. A good C.B.S.E. School is available in the Campus which provides admission to the children of newly joining faculty throughout the year.
