INTRODUCTION
Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee has its roots in the Roorkee College
established in 1847 as the first engineering college in India, which was soon rechristened as
Thomason College of Civil Engineering in 1854 after its greatest mentor James Thomason.
After about 100 years of distinguished services, the college was elevated to University of
Roorkee as the first Engineering University of independent India on November 25, 1949. It
was converted to IIT on September 21, 2001. It has now 23 academic departments/centres
offering undergraduate courses in engineering and architecture, dual degree programmes and
Integrated Dual Degree courses in M.Sc./Engineering and around 46 postgraduate courses in
engineering, architecture, sciences, computer science &Engineering and business
administration besides research programmes at doctoral level. It has three campuses with
main campus at Roorkee and other two at Saharanpur and Greater Noida.
IIT Roorkee has highly qualified faculty of about 455 members who are engaged in
research and consultancy in addition to teaching. The faculty members offer their expertise
through consultancy services to private/public sector industries as well as to Government
agencies. The institute has about 4159 undergraduate students, 1679 postgraduates and over
2475 research scholars.
A number of academic and research centres are engaged in interdisciplinary research
and many collaborative programmes with institutions in India and abroad. Several central
facilities exist such as Mahatma Gandhi Central Library having more than 4.00 Lakh volumes

HOW TO REACH ROORKEE
Roorkee, a quiet town of moderate size in the district of Haridwar (Uttarakhand), is
located on the banks of the Upper Ganga Canal, which takes off at Haridwar. It is about 30
km south of the Shivalik range of the mighty Himalayas, about 185 km to the north of Delhi
and is situated on the Amritsar-Howrah main railway line. Roorkee is linked by Air from
Dehradun airport 60 km, rail to many important mega cities such as Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai
and Mumbai. Roorkee is also well connected by road, being located on the Delhi-Haridwar
National Highway (NH 58), and on the Roorkee–Panch Kula Highway (NH 73). Roorkee
(Latitude 29° 52' N and Longitude 77° 53'52" E) is 268 m above mean sea level and has a

Shivaliks. The rainy season is mainly between July and September with an average rainfall of
1050 mm.
The Institute campus is 3 km from the Roorkee Railway Station and is only 200 m
from the State Roadways Bus Stand.
