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.
