IIT Kanpur

IIT Kanpur is one of the top technological institutes of India. Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur was established by an act of Parliament in 1959. The Institute commenced its operations in December 1959 in a room in the Canteen Building of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute at Agricultural Gardens in Kanpur. IIT Kanpur moved to its present location in 1963.

In the initial ten years of its existence IIT Kanpur received assistance under the Indo-American Programme, in which a consortium of 9 US universities namely M.I.T, University of California Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Case Institute Of Technology and Purdue University helped set up the research laboratories and academic programmes. IIT Kanpur was the first institute in India to start Computer Science education.
