and technological/scientific development. It all began in the year 1956 when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, then Prime Minister of India, was on an official visit to West Germany and was offered assistance by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, to set up a higher technological institute in India. This resulted in the signing of the first Indo-German Agreement in Bonn in 1958, for the establishment of an Indian Institute of Technology Madras, with assistance from Germany in terms of faculty, technical staff and equipment.

The Institute has several departments, which offer undergraduate and post-graduate courses in various disciplines of engineering and pure sciences. The Central Library and Computer Centre of the Institute are well equipped to fulfill the needs of the faculty and students. There are many advanced research centres in the Institute having excellent facilities for carrying out research in frontier areas of science and technology. The Institute has about 350 faculty, 4000 students and 900 administrative and support staff.
