About the Institute

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT KGP), the first and largest of 26 members IIT family was established in the year 1951 at Hijli detention camp at Kharagpur in West Bengal, India. This is probably one of the very few Institutions in the World which started its journey in a prison house. Since its inception in May 1951, this Institute has been transformed into a breeding ground for the dissemination of knowledge in the field of engineering and technology to reach the frame of a world class Institute. Not only it has preserved the traditional Gurukul Ashram Culture of India but also has emerged as one of the best Technological Institutes of The Modern World. The campus is very green, calm and quiet and free from

About the Department

Rubber Technology Centre (RTC) is a unique Centre, the first of its kind in our country. The first Rubber Technology Laboratory in our country for the purpose of teaching and research was established in 1955 in the Department of Applied Chemistry in IIT, Kharagpur under the collaborative program with the British Government (the Colombo Plan), the USA Government (Technical Collaboration Mission) and Ministry of Education, Government of India. The independent Rubber Technology Centre was established in 1981. The Centre acquired advanced processing testing and characterization equipment from Indo-British, IndoFrench Collaborative Programs and also a large number of research projects from government organization and industries. During last three decades since its inception this Centre has done pioneering work in research and education in rubber and polymer science and technology. In 2014 it was awarded as the best Institute for education and research in Rubber Science and Technology by the 'Rubber Asia' magazine.
