How IET Lucknow Started
The government of Uttar Pradesh started IET in 1984. Their goal was to provide good technical education. The college was first connected to the University of Lucknow until the year 2000. After that, it joined Uttar Pradesh Technical University. Since 2015, it has been part of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University.
IET Lucknow is an independent institute. It is recognized by AICTE and has received special accreditation from NBA. This means its courses meet high quality standards.
Early Days and Courses
When IET Lucknow opened in November 1984, it was part of Lucknow University's engineering faculty. It first offered a B.Tech. degree in three subjects. These were Computer Science, Electrical, and Electronics. Within a year, two more subjects were added: Civil and Mechanical. Later, Information Technology and Chemical engineering were also included. The institute also offers master's degrees like MBA, M.TECH., and MCA.
Building the Campus
The college campus was built on a 100-acre plot of land. This land was bought from the Lucknow Development Authority. Many buildings were constructed, including an academic block and hostels. There are eight hostels for boys and four for girls. About 70 homes for staff were also built. The local authority helped with roads, electricity, and drainage.
