National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra (Formerly NIT Kurukshetra & Regional Engineering College, Kurukshetra) is situated at the city of Kurukshetra in the state of Haryana. NIT Kurukshetra is a public technical university wholly funded by Government of India.
The Central Government in consultation with the Planning Commission had sanctioned a scheme of establishment of Regional Engineering Colleges under the Third Five Year Plain in order to expand the facilities for technical education in the country during the plan period. The Regional Engineering College, Kurukshetra was one of the seventeen colleges in the country. It was established in the year 1963 as a joint and cooperative enterprise of Govt. of India and the State Government of Haryana to serve the State of Haryana and the rest of the country for imparting technical training to youth and for fostering national integration. Parliamentary legislation in 2002 brought it under the direct purview of India's federal government and it was made National Institute of technology, Kurukshetra. In 2007, through another legislation, the Indian government declared NITs as Institutes of National Importance.
The first admission to five year B.Sc. (Engg.) degree course was made by the Institute in July, 1963 at Punjab Engineering College , Chandigarh and Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala , with an intake of 60 students at each place. This was repeated in July, 1964 also. The Institute started functioning on its present campus at Kurukshetra from the year 1965-66. The students were admitted to the first year of the five year integrated B.Sc.(Engg.) degree courses in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. In 1971-72, a degree course in Electronics and Communication engineering and a Post-graduate Diploma Course in Scientific Instrumentation were started.
The first registration for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology was done in July 1967. The institute switched over to the four year B.Tech. Degree course with effect from 1985. The course has since been designated as Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.). In 2007 the institute started a three-year MCA programme.
