Indian
Institutes of Technology (IITs)
<< Back
These are apex institutions for engineering education and research. At
present, there are seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) viz. at
Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee. These are
governed by The Institutes of Technology Act, 1961 which has declared them
as “institutions of national importance”, and lays down their powers,
duties, framework for governance etc. The main objective of IITs is to
impart world – class education in engineering and technology; to conduct
research in the relevant fields, and to further advancement of learning
and dissemination of knowledge. These Institutes are also contributing
significantly to education and research in basic sciences and humanities.
Each Institute has developed good departments of Physics, Chemistry,
mathematics, and Social Sciences which inter-act with the departments of
Engineering and Technology. The student enrolment at the Institutes at the
Undergraduate level is limited to 1250 and admission at the Post-Graduate
level is designedly kept at about the same order as in the under-graduate
courses. The Institutes are in various stages of consolidation and
development. As part of the national plan of science and technology, five
Centers of Advanced Study and Research have been set up in the Indian
Institutes of Technology in Energy Studies (Delhi), Material Science (Kanpur),
Cryogenic Engineering (Kharagpur), Ocean Engineering (Madras) and Resource
Engineering (Bombay).
The IITs offer undergraduate programmes in various branches of engineering
and technology; postgraduate programmes with specialization and Ph.D.
programmes in various engineering and science disciplines,
interdisciplinary areas; and conduct basic, applied and sponsored
research. At present, IITs offer B. Tech., M.Sc., M. Design, M.Phil.,
M.Tech, and Ph.D. Degrees. IITs are maintaining quality of teaching and
research of international standards. The Institutes are continuously
evaluating and modifying curricula as per the emerging trends in the
industry. They also contribute to updating the knowledge of faculty of
other Engineering Colleges through Quality Improvement Programmes. As host
institutions under the Early Faculty Development Programme (EFDP), IITs
act as nuclei to cater to the technical requirements of the respective
regions.
In addition to the seven existing IITs, the Government proposes to set up
eight new IITs during the Eleventh Plan. These will be located in Andhra
Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa, Punjab, Gujarat and
Madhya Pradesh.
Students into UG programmes in IITs are admitted on the basis of Indian
Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) and in PG
programmes through Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE).

Information Technology is an important tool for development of different
areas of knowledge economy. India is emerging as a global player in the
field of Information Technology. There has been a steady rise of software
and IT sector in India since 1990’s. As the IT industry is expanding
rapidly, manpower requirement is growing exponentially. In order to
develop manpower for different areas of the knowledge economy, education
and training of information technology is a core prerequisite. The
Central Government has established four IIITs at Allahabad, Gwalior,
Jabalpur and Kanchipuram. These institutions are meant provide
undergraduate as well as postgraduate education. The IIIT at Gwalior is
for IT in Management. The IIITs at Jabalpur and Kanchipuram are for IT in
Design as well as Manufacturing. In addition, the Eleventh Five Year
Plan envisages the establishment of twenty more IIITs in the country as
far as possible, in the Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode.

Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing at Jabalpur was
established in 2005. The Institute is envisioned as an academic
institution of excellence that facilitates and promotes the
competitive advantage of Indian products and manufacturing in global
markets. The Institute serve as an inter-disciplinary institution for
education and research in the area of product life cycle management,
encompassing design and manufacturing using state of the art concepts,
tools, processes and practices of the industry world over. It would
meet the requirement in different sectors like automobile, aerospace

National Institutes of
Technology (NITs)
<< Back
On the recommendation of Engineering Personnel Committee (EPC) set up by
the Planning Commission in 1955, eight Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs)
(two in each regions - east, west, north & south) were set up in early
sixties as joint and co-operative ventures of the Central and State
Governments concerned with a view to providing the required technical
manpower for the industrial projects being contemplated during the 2nd
Five-Year Plan (1956-61). These institutes were registered as autonomous
bodies under the Society Registration Act 1860 and affiliated to the State
Universities in their respective regions. Gradually Seventeen Regional
Engineering Colleges (RECs) were established in various States as a joint
and co-operative enterprise of the Central and the State Governments
concerned. Each REC was to function as an all-India institution admitting
students and recruiting faculty from all parts of the country. Fifty
percent of the admissions of these institutions (each of which was be
meant to equipped for a total annual student intake of 250) was reserved
for students from States other than the one in which they are located in
addition to under-graduate courses, these colleges also offered
Post-graduate courses in various fields.
The main aim of setting up these RECs was to create the required technical
manpower by providing undergraduate education and training in different
branches of engineering & technology. Further, the RECs were also
envisaged to function as pace setters and to provide academic leadership
to the technical institutions in their respective regions. Some of the
common features of these NITs are as follows:
In 2003, the Seventeen erstwhile Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) were
rechristened as National Institute of Technology (NITs) and taken over as
fully funded institutes of the Central Government and granted deemed
university status. In addition, Central Government has also taken over 3
other Institutes namely Bihar Engineering Colleges, Patna, Government
Engineering College, Raipur and Tripura Engineering Colleges, Agartala,
and converted them into National Institute of Technology (NITs) on 28th
January 2004, 1st December, 2005 and 1st April, 2006 respectively. Thus
the total number of NITs has gone up to 20. These institutes are expected
to be at par with other national level technical institutes and be able to
fulfill the demand of high quality undergraduate and postgraduate level of
education in engineering and technology. An Act, namely the National
Institute of Technology Act, 2007 has since been enacted by Parliament so
as to provide a common statutory framework for all NIT. 10 new NITs are
also proposed to be set up during XI Plan.
Admission to NITs is through the All India Engineering Entrance
Examination (AIEEE) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE).
