    A total of seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) were established by 2001 in India and IIT Roorkee was the last to be added to this list. However, as an engineering college, it predates all IITs, having started as Roorkee College in 1847.

    Many renamings later, it became Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in September 2001 and was declared an Institute of National Importance (INI). Data obtained through a Right of Information application shows that in the 2020-21 round of placements, Computer Science Engineering students had the highest placement rate, over 93 percent, but no department achieved 100 percent.
