==History==
The first Prime Minister of independent India, [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], sought to develop India as a leader in science and technology. Between 1959 and 1965, with this vision, the Government founded 14 educational institutions in different regions of India. The system of competitive entry (based on merit) gave access to higher education in these institutions. Such an institution was established in 1963 in Kurukshetra as a joint enterprise of the [[Government of India]] and the [[Government of Punjab, India]] as the '''Regional Engineering College''', Kurukshetra ('''REC Kurukshetra'''). In 2002, all the Regional Engineering Colleges were unified by a common entrance exam. Therefore, REC Kurukshetra was renamed to [[National Institute of Technology]] under the [[NIT Act]] and was given a [[Deemed University]] status.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nitkkr.ac.in/instituteProfile.htm |title=Welcome to NIT Kurukshetra |work=nitkkr.ac.in |access-date=19 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009064851/http://nitkkr.ac.in/InstituteProfile.htm |archive-date=9 October 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
