INTRODUCTION

Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee has its roots in the Roorkee College

established in 1847 as the first engineering college in India, which was soon rechristened as

Thomason College of Civil Engineering in 1854 after its greatest mentor James Thomason.

After about 100 years of distinguished services, the college was elevated to University of

Roorkee as the first Engineering University of independent India on November 25, 1949. It

was converted to IIT on September 21, 2001. It has now 23 academic departments/centres

offering undergraduate courses in engineering and architecture, dual degree programmes and

Integrated Dual Degree courses in M.Sc./Engineering and around 46 postgraduate courses in

engineering, architecture, sciences, computer science &Engineering and business

administration besides research programmes at doctoral level. It has three campuses with

main campus at Roorkee and other two at Saharanpur and Greater Noida.

IIT Roorkee has highly qualified faculty of about 455 members who are engaged in

research and consultancy in addition to teaching. The faculty members offer their expertise

through consultancy services to private/public sector industries as well as to Government

agencies. The institute has about 4159 undergraduate students, 1679 postgraduates and over

2475 research scholars.

A number of academic and research centres are engaged in interdisciplinary research

and many collaborative programmes with institutions in India and abroad. Several central

facilities exist such as Mahatma Gandhi Central Library having more than 4.00 Lakh volumes

of books and Periodicals, Information Superhighway Centre with Internet connectivity, an

Educational Multi-Media Research Centre with full-fledged television studio, a modern

Computer Centre and Institute Instrumentation Centre with highly sophisticated analytical

instruments.

IIT Roorkee is fully residential, with well-designed Bhawans (Hostels) both for boys

and girls, sprawling sports ground, hobbies club, hospital, a modern swimming pool, boat

club and a host of facilities for different games including Tennis, Squash and Billiards.
