Oldest Engineering Colleges in India

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

I noticed there isn’t a listing of oldest engineering schools (colleges) in India ranked by established year. Here’s an attempt to draw one up:

1794 College of Engineering, Guindy
1847 IIT, Roorkee
1854 College of Engineering, Pune
1856 Bengal Engineering University, Shibpur
1900 National Institute of Technology, Patna
1917 University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering, Bangalore
1919 Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University

My alma mater from Bangalore is one of the oldest!
This list is still not complete (at least till I compile the earliest 10). If you can help complete the list, please do let me know.
