 ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur (Formerly HBTI, Kanpur) was established in
1921 and has a glorious history and has always been at the forefront of technological
developments and the growth of industries in the country since its inception. The Institute
began as the Government Technological Institute, Uttar Pradesh in 1921. The Institute was
renamed Harcourt Butler Technological Institute in 1926 in honor of the name of Sir Spencer
Harcourt Butler, the then Governor of U.P. Degree courses in Oil Technology were started in
1921, and Chemical Engineering was started in 1954 and after that number of undergraduate
and post graduate courses were started. On March 26, 1965, it was upgraded from a
Government Department status to an Autonomous Institution. It was upgraded to Harcourt
Butler Technical University, Kanpur on September 01, 2016, by Govt. of UP. The University
spreads across two campuses - East Campus (77 acres) and West Campus (271 acres)
situated approximately 3 kilometers apart. The University provides a congenial environment for
the holistic growth and all-round development of the students.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY

University offers distinctive study programs with its priority and thrust in imparting high-quality
education in seven Chemical Technology branches, namely Oil Technology (Estd. 1921),
Chemical Engineering (Estd. 1954), Plastic Technology (Estd. 1964), Paint Technology (Estd.
1964), Food Technology (Estd. 1964), Bio-chemical Engineering (Estd. 1964) and Leather
Technology (Estd. 1978). The School of Chemical Technology (SoCT) produced more than 15,000
graduates in these programs which cater to the industry and top-level management human
resource demands at the National and International level. Alumni from the School of Chemical
Technology are placed as CEOs/MD’s of many top Companies across the world.

ABOUT INDIAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS

Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE) was born on 18th May 1947 on the eve of
the Indian Independence. The Institute is the apex body of Chemical Engineering
Professionals in India. The activities of the Institute are spread across the country through
its 42 Regional Centres and more than 170 student chapters. Govt. of India has recognized
IIChE as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization.
