Continuing its tradition of excellence, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has been at the forefront of research, innovation, collaborations and tie-ups, curricula redesign, and industry-academia partnerships to keep pace with changes in higher education.

One of the seven original IITs and set up in 1961, IIT Delhi was given the ‘institution of eminence’ status in 2018 and was granted almost full autonomy. The college offers several undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes.

In what is another feather in its cap, in June, IIT Delhi was ranked the third best among all educational institutions in the overall category by the NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) 2023; it was judged the second-best institute in India under engineering in the subject-wise category.

Several reasons make IIT Delhi one of the premier institutes for technical education. The institute has well-established programmes in a number of engineering disciplines, including, but not limited to, Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical and Computer Science Engineering. “In addition to these, there are a number of niche areas in which we had a head start over others. These include Biochemical and Biomedical Engineering, Energy Studies, Applied Research in Electronics and Atmospheric Sciences, Rural Technology, and Transportation Research,” says Professor Narayanan D. Kurur, dean, academics. More recently, the institute started programmes in Artificial Intelligence and has initiated an interdisciplinary programme in robotics.

"The curricula for PG programmes are flexible, enabling students to study and research in multiple domains. In line with NEP 2020, our programmes are multi-disciplinary, research-focused"
