There have been many rumors circulating about NIT Kurukshetra becoming an IIT in the coming years. However, no such changes have been made so far or any official announcement has been made regarding the same. Some even claimed that the committees visited NIT Kurukshetra to determine if it was eligible to be converted to an IIT but there have been no concrete evidence to prove the same.

Given below are some reasons, why I believe NIT Kurukshetra should be turned into an IIT Kurukshetra

  1. Firstly, the state of Haryana has no IIT as of now. IIIT Sonepat, whose mentor is NIT Kurukshetra, is under development. So it’s better to convert NIT Kurukshetra into an IIT rather than making a whole new institute. That might take a lot of time and even funds.
  2. NIT Kurukshetra which was established in 1963 and has a rich legacy that makes it the right choice to become an IIT. 
  3. The institute has a huge campus and excellent placement record, especially for CS and IT branches. If it becomes an IIT, the placement scenario will only become better both for tech and non-tech branches.
  4. The institute conducts frequent revisions of the entire syllabus and ensures that it is at par with the industry's demands. However, the faculty and the research scope need to be improved before converting it into an IIT.
  5. Its location is perfect for an IIT as it is in the heart of Sid Haryana.

I hope it becomes an IIT soon!
