IERT Prayagraj

hnology," IERT initially focused on providing specialized education in civil engineering. The founders included notable figures like Late Shanker Saran, a retired judge of the Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad, and Late Vishwamitra, an advocate. This institution was recognized as the first Polytechnic in Asia, reflecting its pioneering status in technical education. In 1962, the Government of Uttar Pradesh took over the institute, renaming it "Allahabad Polytechnic." A managing committee was established to oversee its operations, and it was granted the status of a grant-in-aid institution. The institute's governance structure was formalized, and the Director of Technical Education, U.P., became the ex-officio Secretary of the management committee. A significant milestone in IERT's history came in 1982 when it was renamed the Institute of Engineering and Rural Technology (IERT). This change acknowledged the institute's expanded focus and multifaceted activities. Government also granted IERT academic autonomy, allowing it greater flexibility in designing and implementing its educational programs. In 2001, IERT established its Engineering Degree Division, offering Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) courses.
