ABOUT IIT DELHI

The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) is one of the 5 initial IITs established for
training, research and development in science, engineering and technology in India.
Established as College of Engineering in 1961, the Institute was later declared as an Institution
of National Importance under the “Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963” and was
renamed as “Indian Institute of Technology Delhi”. It was then accorded the status of a
Deemed University with powers to decide its own academic policy, to conduct its own
examinations, and to award its own degrees. Since its inception, over 48000 have graduated
from IIT Delhi in various disciplines including Engineering, Physical Sciences, Management and
Humanities & Social Sciences. Of these, nearly 5070 received PhD degrees. The rest obtained
a Master’s Degree in Engineering, Sciences and Business Administration. These alumni today
work as scientists, technologists, business managers and entrepreneurs. There are several
alumni who have moved away from their original disciplines and have taken to administrative
services, active politics or are with NGOs. In doing so, they have contributed significantly to
the building of this nation, and to industrialisation around the world. For more details, please
