Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (www.iitd.ac.in) is one of the 15 Institutes of Technology created as centres of excellence for higher training, research and development in science, engineering and technology in India.
Established as College of Engineering in 1961, the Institute was later declared an Institution of National Importance under the "Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963" and was renamed "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.
HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, laid the foundation stone of the Institute on January 27, 1959. The Institute was inaugurated by Prof. Humayun Kabir, the then Union Minister for Scientific Research and Cultural Affairs on August 21, 1961. The Institute buildings were formally opened by Dr.Zakir Hussain, the then President of India, on March 2, 1968.
The Institute is actively involved in collaborative programmes that are internationally and nationally recognized in order to remain at the forefront on the scientific and technological developments and to share its experience with them. At present, a number of collaborative research projects are in operation with the institutions in Austria, France, Israel, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK, and USA. Some of the facets of these collaborations include students and faculty exchange, joint research and fellowships for training at the doctoral and postdoctoral level.
