Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay

IIT Bombay was the second in line of the IITs to be established on 1958 after IIT Kharagpur in West Bengal. It was the first to be set with foreign assistance with funds from UNESCO. In 1961 Parliament decreed the  IITs as ‘Institutes of National Importance' and was accorded the status of a university with the power to award its own degrees and diplomas. Since then, IITB has grown from strength to strength to emerge as one of the top technical universities in the world.
