The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are a group of
autonomous public engineering and management institutes of India. The IITs are
governed by the Institutes of
Technology Act, 1961 which
has declared them as "institutions of national importance",
and lays down their powers, duties, framework for governance etc.[1] The Institutes of Technology Act, 1961
lists sixteen institutes located at Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar,
Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Mandi, Mumbai, Patna,
Ropar, Roorkee and Varanasi. Each IIT is an autonomous institution, linked to
the others through a common IIT Council, which oversees their administration.
The IITs award degrees starting from B.Tech to Ph.D.
The IITs
have a common admission process for undergraduate admissions. It was based on IIT-JEE, replaced by Joint Entrance Examination in 2013. The graduate level program
that awards M. Tech. degree in engineering is administered by the older IITs
(Kharagpur, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Delhi, Varanasi, Guwahati, Roorkee).
M.Tech. admission decisions are made on the basis of Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering(GATE).
In addition to B. Tech and M. Tech programs IITs also award other graduate
degrees such as M.Sc. in Engineering, Maths, Physics and Chemistry, MBA, PhD
and more. Admission to these programs are through Common Admission Test (CAT),[2] Joint Admission Test to M.Sc.(JAM) and
Common Entrance Examination for Design (CEED).[citation
