The institute was inaugurated on August 18, 1951, by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. IIT Kharagpur started its journey in the old historical Hijli Detention Camp where some of our great freedom fighters had sacrificed their lives to get independence for our country.
The Parliament of India passed a resolution on Sept. 15, 1956, declaring this Institute as an Indian Institute of Technology. The Institute was also granted the status of an autonomous University. IIT Kharagpur has 18 academic departments offering varied fields of studies. There are about 450 faculty, 2200 employees and 2700 students in the campus.
