Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT- Delhi) is a public institute of technology located in Delhi, India. It is one of the 23 Indian Institutes of Technology created to be a Centre of Excellence for India's training, research and development in science, engineering and technology.

Established in 1961, it was formally inaugurated in August 1961 by Humayun Kabir, Minister of Scientific Research & Cultural Affairs. The first admissions were made in 1961. The current campus has an area of 320 acres (or 1.3 km2) and is bound by the Sri Aurobindo Marg on the east, the Jawaharlal Nehru University Complex on the west, the National Council of Educational Research and Training on the south, and the New Ring Road on the north. It is flanked by Qutb Minar and the Hauz Khas monuments.[4]

The institute was later decreed in the Institutes of National Importance under the Institutes of Technology Amendment Act, 1963, and accorded the status of a full University with powers to decide its academic policy, conduct its examinations, and award its degrees.[5]

## History

[edit]

Nalini Ranjan Sarkar, who recommended the set up of IIT's, along the lines of the MIT

The concept of IIT was first introduced by Nalini Ranjan Sarkar, then a Member of Education on the Viceroy's executive council. Following his recommendations, the first Indian Institute of Technology was established in the year 1950 in Kharagpur. In his report, Shri Sircar suggested that such institutes should also be established in different parts of the country. The Government, having accepted these recommendations of the Sircar Committee, decided to establish more Institutes of Technology with the assistance of friendly countries who were prepared to help. The first offer of help came from the USSR, who agreed to collaborate in the establishment of an Institute through UNESCO in Bombay. This was followed by the Institutes of Technology at Madras, Kanpur, and Delhi with collaborations with West Germany, the United States, and UK respectively.[citation needed]

H.R.H. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh laid the foundation stone of the college at Hauz Khas on 28 January 1959 during his visit to India. The first admissions were made in 1961.[5] The College of Engineering & Technology was registered as a society on 14 June 1960 under the Societies Registration Act No. XXI of 1860 (Registration No. S1663 of 1960–61). The students were asked to report at the college on 16 August 1961, and the college was formally inaugurated on 17 August 1961 by Humayun Kabir, Minister of Scientific Research & Cultural Affairs. Initially, the college ran in the Kashmiri Gate campus of Delhi College of Engineering (now known as Delhi Technological University) before shifting to its permanent campus in Hauz Khas. The Department of Textile Technology of Delhi College of Engineering was shifted out en bloc to mark the IIT Delhi's beginning at its new Hauz Khas campus. The college was later accorded the university status and was renamed the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.[5] IIT Delhi celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2011, and its Diamond Jubilee in 2021.

In 2018, IIT Delhi was one of the first six institutes to be awarded the Institute of Eminence status. According to a government statement issued earlier, these IoEs will have greater autonomy in that they will be able to admit foreign students up to 30% of the admitted students and recruit foreign faculty up to 25% of the faculty strength with enhanced research funding.[6]

In July 2023, IIT Delhi signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the first global campus of IIT-Delhi in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[7]

## Campus

Its role has evolved with OCS focusing on year-round activities to provide career counselling, interview preparation, and talks to expose students to the many available opportunities.

### Student bodies

[edit]

There are several student bodies at IIT Delhi, each with its own set of responsibilities. The highest student body at IIT Delhi is the Student Affairs Council (SAC).

#### Student Affairs Council (SAC)

[edit]

The Students Affairs Council is the apex student body of IIT-Delhi. The primary objective of SAC is to look after all the issues/problems concerning the students of IIT Delhi. The administrative decisions related to student affairs and infrastructure-related issues are also addressed by SAC. The grievances and suggestions of the students are directed to the concerned administration for redressal through the SAC framework. SAC consists of the various boards of IIT Delhi and other committees.[41]

#### Board for Student Welfare (BSW)

[edit]

As the name suggests, BSW works to benefit the welfare of all the students of IITD. The BSW shall organize welfare activities from time to time and look into other aspects of student welfare.

### Technical organisations

[edit]

#### ACM Student Chapter

[edit]

The Association for Computing Machinery is an educational and scientific society that works with the motto of "Advancing Computing as a Science and Profession". The IIT Delhi Student Chapter[45] of the ACM was established in 2002 to address the needs of the IIT Delhi computing community. The goal of the chapter is to create interest among the students in computer science, apart from what they learn during the course work. The chapter organises workshops and talks on different subjects by speakers who are well-known in their area. These talks give students opportunities to learn about advanced research subjects. Apart from these, some non-technical activities are also organised. The IIT Delhi Chapter won the ACM Student Chapter Excellence Award[46] for its Outstanding Activities during 2009–10. In 2012, the team of Rudradev Basak, Nikhil Garg, and Pradeep Mathias of IIT Delhi achieved India's best rank at the ACM ICPC World Finals by finishing 18th.[47]
