ABOUT IIT DELHI
The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) is one of the 23 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 a B.Tech degree is over
15738. 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
