About

In 1937, Government Central Textile Institute came into existence in its present form by the merger of two premier textile institutes: one at Kanpur and the other at Roorkee, i.e., Department of Textile Technology, Thomson Civil Engineering College of Roorkee. Diploma programmes were started in Textile Manufacture and Chemical Technology.
In 1958/59 four-year degree programmes in Textile Technology and Textile Chemistry were started. Initially the institute was affiliated to Agra University. On establishment of the university in Kanpur in 1966 it was affiliated to Kanpur University. In 1976/77 the institute pioneered a four-year degree programme in man-made fibre technology. In 1985 the three-year diploma programmes were shifted to Government Polytechnic Kanpur and thereafter the institute has been running graduate and postgraduate programmes with Ph.D. research facilities. The fourth degree programme in Textile Engineering was added under a World Bank-aided Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme of the government of India and the government of the state of Uttar Pradesh in 2005. Shiv Govind Prasad is Honorary Deputy Registrar of the Institute. Shiv Govind Prasad is equivalent to High Court Lawyer. He has ample experience to handle Scholarship matters.
