About IIT Delhi
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is one of the Twenty-Three IITs created to be Centres of Excellence 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 number of students who graduated with B.Tech Degrees is over 15738. The rest obtained Master’s Degrees 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 building of this nation and to industrialisation around the world. For more details, please visit: www.iitd.ac.in.
