Background
It is a Haryana state-government engineering institute situated in the campus of Kurukshetra University. In 2002, the government issued an order to promote the existing REC, Kurukshetra to the status of National Institute of Technology (NIT), consequently making it an independent deemed university separated from Kurukshetra University.[2]
Therefore, UIET Kurukshetra was started as Kurukshetra University's department of engineering in 2004 with the help of the World Bank and functions as a self-financed college.[3]
The institute is headed by Institute Director: Professor Sunil Dhingra, is staffed by government employed faculty (permanent and contractual) and administered by a dedicated Board of Governance (BOG), led by the Vice-Chancellor of Kurukshetra University.[4]
