About Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

IIT Roorkee, erstwhile Thomason Engineering College, the first engineering institution in India, is now one of the leading educational institutes in the country, imparting quality technical education and overall development to society. IIT Roorkee (earlier known as the University of Roorkee) has celebrated 175 years (1847-2022) of its rich educational heritage. The Roorkee College was established in 1847 AD as the First Engineering College in the British Empire. The College was renamed as The Thomason College of Civil Engineering in 1854. It was given the status of a University by Act No. IX of 1948 of the United Province (Uttar Pradesh) in recognition of its performance and its potential and considering the needs of post-independent India. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, presented the Charter in November 1949, elevating the erstwhile college to the First Engineering University of Independent India. On the 21st of September 2001, the University was declared an institute of national importance by the Government of India, changing its status from University of Roorkee to Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. Thus, another jewel was added to the already glittering crown in the History of this Institute.
