IIT Delhi was established in 1961 as ‘College of Engineering’ and later it was declared as an institution of national importance under the ‘Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963’ and was renamed as the ‘Indian Institute of Technology Delhi’. It was formed as part of the government of India’s vision to nurture talent and expertise in science and technology.
