Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are most highly reputed centers for higher education in science and technology. IITs are a group of seven completely autonomous entities and are called the seven temples of Indian technological education. IITs are declared as the Institutes of National Importance by the government of India. Seven IITs are established in seven cities located across far regions of the country, namely, Delhi, Bombay, Chennai, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati and Roorki. These institutes have been set up under the Institutes of Technology act, 1963. The central administration of the IITs is carried on by an IIT Council. Human Resource Minister of Government of India is the chairman of this apex body. Nine more IITs have been proposed to be set up in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, Orissa, Bihar and Punjab. IT-BHU is also to be converted in to an IIT now.

 

IITs were established to promote higher education and research in engineering and technlogy. They are created to train scientists and engineers with an objective of setting up a skilled work force to support the economic and social developments in India post 1947. Foreign help was also sought for setting of some IITs. USA, Soviet Union, Germany and UNESCO were the foremost in helping for the cause.

 

Admission to the various course programs of these prestigious institutions is done through IIT JEE (Joint Entrance Exam), GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering), JAM (Joint Admission test for M.Sc.) and CEED (Common Entrance Examination for Design). B.Tech Program is one of the best reputed program from IITs and it's cracked through IIT-JEE. Whereas GATE is the gate for M.Tech Programme. IIT JEE is a very competitive exam and the success ratio is merely 1:60. About 300000 aspirants take the test for just 5,500 seats. Generally, there are 15,500 undergraduate students and 12000 graduate students studying in IITs.
