About IITs

The Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) are prestigious central government owned public technical institutes located across India. IITs are known for their excellence in education. They are under the ownership of the Ministry of Education of the Government of India.

They are governed by the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961, declaring them as Institutes of National Importance and laying down their powers, duties, and framework for governance as the country’s premier institutions in the field of technology. The act currently lists twenty-three IITs.

Each IIT has autonomy and is linked to others through a common council called the IIT Council, which oversees their administration. The Minister of Education of India is the ex officio Chairperson of the IIT Council.

Currently, there are 23 IITs across the country.
