A mere word.

.to a global

brand
The concept of the IITs originated even before India
gained independence in 1947.

In 1946, a committee was established to explore setting up
technical institutes.

The first Indian Institute of Technology was born in May
1950 in Kharagpur, West Bengal at the site of Hijli
Detention camp.

On 15 September 1956, the parliament passed the Indian
Institute of Technology (Kharagpur) Act, declaring it as
an Institute of National Importance.



Here in the place of that Hijli Detention Camp stands the
fine monument of India, representing India's urges, India's
future in the making. This picture seems to me symbolical of
the changes that are coming to India
-Nehru (in the first convocation address of IIT
Kharagpur)
Iitjee can be taken by candidates
who clear secondary examinations.
Candidates who successfully clear
iitjee are allowed entry to iits
based on their ranks in iitjee.
The I I Ts receive comparatively higher grants than other
engineering colleges in I ndia.

While the total government funding to most other engineering
colleges is around Rs 100200 million (USD 24 million) per
year, the amount varies between Rs. 9001,300 million (USD 18
26 million) per year for each I I T.
The academic policies of each I I T are decided by
its Senate.(faculty-to-student ratio in the I I Ts is between 1:6 and
1:8).



All the IITs follow the credits system of performance
evaluation, with proportional weighting of courses based on
their importance

Each semester evaluation is done independently and then the
weighted average over all semesters is used to calculate the
cumulative grade point of average (known as CGPA or
CPICumulative Performance Index).



The fact that IITians
undergo the toughest
screening test in the world
to enter IITs shows their
standards.
IITians have a global
reputation for their analytical
and reasoning skills.
