IIT Gandhinagar

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (also known as IIT Gandhinagar or IITGN) is a public technical university located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India and recognized as an Institute of National Importance by the Government of India. It was established in 2008 and operates over a roughly 400-acre, environmentally certified campus along the banks of the Sabarmati river.

IIT Gandhinagar is one of the eight new Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) announced by India's Ministry of Human Resource Development in 2008. It began operations that same year from a temporary campus at Vishwakarma Government Engineering College in Ahmedabad, under the mentorship of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. The first batch of students was admitted to three BTech programmes: Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.

IITGN was included in the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2011, which was passed by the Lok Sabha on 24 March 2011 and approved the Rajya Sabha on 30 April 2012.

Land for the permanent campus, located on the banks the Sabarmati in Palaj was provided by the Government of Gujarat on a 99-year lease with a token rent of one rupee. This was publicly stated in a 2011 address at the Amalthea technology summit by the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi. The institute took possession of over 400 acres of land in August 2012, with regular classes and other activities on the new campus starting around July 2015.

The Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. as one of the 23 IITs offers a diverse range of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes across engineering, sciences and the humanities through its thirteen departments and seven centres.
