1. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

liT Roorkee has its roots in the Roorkee College which was
set up in 1847. It was renamed as the Thomason College of
Civil Engineering in 1854. The College laid the foundation
of modern engineering education and the use of civil
engineering practices in the infrastructure development of
the country. The irrigation infrastructure in the form of dams
and canals, roads and highways, railways, bridges etc. in
the country - all have been the outcome of the engineering
education imparted in this the only engineering institution
in the country at that point of time.
It got elevated as the first technical University of the country
in 1948 through the Roorkee University Act, 1947 passed
by the United Provinces Legislature.
Roorkee University also became the first institution in the
country to offer postgraduate programs in engineering and
technology in 1955.
On September 21, 2001, the
University was converted into an liT by the Government of
India through an Act of Parliament and recognised it as an
Institution of National importance.
