Illinois Institute of Technology to set up campus in India, first from US to get UGC approval

PUBLISH DATE 8th May 2025

Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech), Chicago’s tech-focused university, will be setting up a campus in Mumbai, India. It becomes the first US university to be approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to establish an independent degree-granting campus in India. The new Illinois Tech — Mumbai campus will offer a range of undergraduate and graduate programmes in fields including computer science, engineering, and business, and is opening in fall 2026.

Illinois Tech’s Mumbai campus will provide the same academically rigorous, experiential, and industry-aligned curriculum as the university’s Chicago campuses, an official statement issued in this regard said.

This will include offering Illinois Tech’s renowned Elevate programme, which guarantees all students access to real-world experiences such as internships, research, competitions, and other opportunities that are proven to prepare graduates for successful careers in global markets.

Courses will be delivered by an internationally recruited faculty, including visiting professors from Illinois Tech’s US campuses and faculty with global academic credentials. Indian students will gain access to career-accelerating opportunities without the need to relocate abroad — while also benefiting from cross-campus study options and global classroom experiences.

According to the 2025 US News and World Report rankings, Illinois Tech’s undergraduate and graduate computer science programmes are among the top 100 in the country. Illinois Tech’s business programs are also highly ranked, with its master’s in management (#15), marketing (#24), and finance (#26) programs ranked among the best in the country according to TFE Times (2025). Opportunity Insights (2024) places Illinois Tech as #2 in the nation for upward mobility among highly selective private colleges.

The decision to expand into India is informed by the recognition of the country’s growing demand for quality higher education and its emphasis on international collaboration, as outlined in India’s National Education Policy 2020. Illinois Tech’s initiative aligns with these objectives, offering Indian students access to a globally recognized education within their home country, the statement added.

The university’s globally diverse learning environment includes students from more than 100 countries, with more than a quarter of the student population at Illinois Tech’s Chicago campuses being international. The Mumbai campus will further this commitment by providing opportunities for students from various backgrounds to engage in a transformative educational experience that prepares them for leadership roles in a globalized economy.

“Illinois Tech’s proposed Mumbai campus — India’s first-ever American university campus to run STEM courses — embodies the visionary aspirations of the National Education Policy 2020 to position India as a global hub for education and ushering India into a knowledge-driven society by the centennial of independence in 2047. The collaboration reflects our shared commitment to opportunity, cross-cultural partnership, and societal advancement through education. I look forward to more such collaboration resulting in campuses of US universities in India,” said Somnath Ghosh, Consul General of India in Chicago.
