It comprised of a multi-disciplinary and multi-level institution offering wide ranging programmes in engineering, technology, arts and sculpture, architecture, pharmacy and commerce.

The department of Architecture later became the School of Planning and Architecture, now a Deemed University and Institution of National importance. The department of Arts and Sculpture became College of Arts and the departments of Chemical Technology and Textile Technology were shifted out en-block to mark beginning of the IIT Delhi at its new campus at Hauz Khas.
