IIT Palakkad was announced by the Government of India in 2014. We began with a head start in the very next academic year, 2015-16, with the support of our mentor Institute (IIT Madras).

Tech. course in the disciplines of Civil Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Our Institute can already boast of a vibrant student and faculty community drawn from different parts of the country; it has truly emerged as a microcosm of India. Within a short span of two years, we were able to start Master’s and Doctoral programs in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Humanities.
