The traditional system of imparting knowledge was organized for the first time in the year 1847 AD, with the establishment of Roorkee College. A hundred years later, after India’s independence, engineering institutes of national importance-the IITs were established to produce technical experts, who could steer the developmental process of the nascent India. IIT Kharagpur was the first of the seven IITs we have today. Many Regional and State Engineering colleges were also established to provide impetus to an all-round development of the country.

The advent of globalization and liberalization in the early 90s brought revolution in field of Information Technology. To keep pace with the process of globalization it became imperative to boost up the IT sector of the country that was still in the process of development. Thus Institutes of Information Technologies were established to produce manpower, trained to expedite the IT sector of the country.
