20+ Years of Illinois Tech in India

Building on more than two decades of offering a high-quality education in India—through distance learning and innovative broadcast-based programs—Illinois Tech is now the first university in the U.S. to grant degrees in India with an onsite campus in Mumbai. Illinois Tech was granted this distinct honor under the NEP 2020 by the University Grants Commission (UGC) through a Letter of Intent issued in 2025.

This landmark moment reflects our mission to make world-class, technology-driven education more accessible, empowering the next generation of innovators in India’s commercial capital.
