Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT), Sarang was founded in 1982 as Odisha College of Engineering (OCE), initially managed directly by the Govt. of Odisha. The institute's origins can be traced back to 1981 when it operated as Modern Polytechnic (MPT), offering diploma courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Mining Survey Engineering.
In 1987, OCE and MPT merged and were renamed IGIT, Sarang, with management transferred to an Autonomous Society.
In 2014, the Government of Odisha decided to elevate IGIT to a unitary university, recognizing its academic excellence. In 2017, the University Grants Commission (UGC) granted IGIT autonomous status.
