About Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

Basic information and contact details for Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee

institution

The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee is one of India’s oldest universities. Founded in 1847, the institution’s roots lie in the construction of the nearby Ganga Canal, with the university founded to train engineers to carry out the construction work.

Known as Thomason College of Engineering for a century, it was granted university status through the Roorkee University Act of 1948 and renamed the University of Roorkee. In 2001, the national government made it India’s seventh Institute of Technology, and it duly received its current name, IIT Roorkee.

The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee is one of the nation’s largest technical institutions, with more than 20 academic departments.

IIT Roorkee is well-known for its strong entrepreneurial culture, boasting many industry leaders among its alumni, along with dozens of MPs, state governors and government ministers. 

Situated in Northern India at the foot of the Himalayas, winter temperatures can drop as low as freezing, but average summer temperatures are around 28 °C.

The main campus is located in Roorkee, a relatively small town 175km north east of Delhi. Its 356 acres of greenery include old and new academic departments, a hospital, banks, community centres, three sports centres and accommodation. The smaller campus, housing the Department of Paper Technology, is situated in Saharanpur, some 41km north west. Both have good road and rail links.

A new 10 acre campus is being developed as an extension centre in the nearby city of Greater Noida.

United Kingdom, Brighton


Thank you for your interest in joining the Board of Governors at the University of Brighton. The University of Brighton is where change begins. With the launch of our Distinctively Brighton 2035 strategy, we are committing to a bold vision and clear direction towards a university that is both radically transformed and radically relevant. By 2035, our vision is to be the first-choice university for enterprise and equity, delivering transformational impact for our students, organisations and the communities we serve. We are seeking two exceptional individuals to join the Board as our new Chair and Deputy Chair to help realise this ambitious vision and transform the University of Brighton into a place that equips every student to thrive in a world shaped by rapid change. Working closely with the Vice-Chancellor Professor Donna Whitehead, and the executive team, the Chair and Deputy Chair will be part of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine what universities can be and what they are for. The Chair will foster a culture of high performance, robust governance, and strategic foresight, acting as a key ambassador for the University and championing our core values of equity, courage, creativity, partnership, and sustainability. The Deputy Chair will provide crucial support to the Chair, acting as a trusted adviser and deputising where required. Both roles will meaningfully shape the future of the University, acting with integrity in ensuring the effective functioning of the Board, fostering an inclusive culture, and contributing to the University's strategic oversight. Candidates for each role will combine collegiality, diplomacy, intelligence and confidence ]with significant leadership and governance experience. They will have a keen interest in and commitment to education, and will be passionate about supporting the University of Brighton in delivering our strategy and realising our vision. We champion equity and diversity as critical to the future we seek to build and protect. Our students are more likely to come from diverse or non-traditional backgrounds and more likely to face barriers than peers at other universities – yet they go on to achieve greater gains. Many have alternative qualifications, and a higher proportion are female, trans or living with disabilities or mental health conditions. Our commitment to equity is recognised by our Athena Swan Silver and Race Equality Charter Silver awards, and our position as one of Stonewall's Top 100 Employers in the most recent index. We have been part of the city of Brighton & Hove since 1859, starting as a school of art in the kitchens of the Royal Pavilion and growing into the vibrant and inclusive community of 17,400 students and 3,100 staff that we are today. Reflecting the unique creativity and dynamism of our city, as part of the University of Brighton you will be part of a community building a learning culture that pushes the frontiers of knowledge, asks difficult questions, challenges convention and creates meaningful impact in Brighton, and beyond. For details of the appointment, including further information about the job description, person specification and how to apply, please visit https://PLusPortal.PerrettLaver.com quoting reference 8281.
