Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW) is India's first and only women-exclusive technical university, established by the Government of NCT of Delhi. Originally founded in 1998 as the Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT) as a constituent college of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), the institution was elevated to an autonomous university status in 2013 under the Delhi Act 09 of 2012 and renamed IGDTUW. Located in the heart of Delhi at Kashmere Gate, adjacent to the historic St. James Church, the university occupies a compact yet well-equipped campus of approximately 60 acres. IGDTUW stands as a symbol of women's empowerment in technical education in India. Its mission is to create a knowledge-driven society by nurturing technically competent and socially responsible women professionals. The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate, integrated, and doctoral programmes across engineering, management, architecture, planning, and sciences – all exclusively for female candidates. This unique positioning has earned the institution significant national and global recognition. In terms of accreditations, IGDTUW holds a NAAC A+ Grade, NBA accreditation for multiple programmes, and is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
