What is the full form of IIT?

IIT: Indian Institute of Technology

The full form of IIT is “Indian Institute of Technology“. The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are renowned, prestigious and autonomous public technical and research university located in India. They are governed by the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961 which has declared them as institutions of national importance and lays down their powers, duties, and framework for governance. In India, there are around 23 IITs that runs various Graduate and Post-Graduate programs in the field of electrical and electronics engineering, Mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, Architecture and planning etc.

Each IIT is autonomous, linked to the others through a common council (IIT Council), which oversees their administration. Getting admission into IITs is considered to be very difficult task and people who have graduated from IITs have done great things. The Minister of Human Resource Development (HRD) is the ex officio Chairperson of the IIT Council. As of 2018, the total number of seats for undergraduate programs in all IITs is 11,279. The only major requirement to admit to these institutions is to pass the JEE (Advanced Joint Entrance Examination).
