Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP), Dehradun, was established first among the given options, founded in 1960 as a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad, followed shortly after, being established in 1961. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, was also established in 1961, originally as the College of Engineering and Technology, but it received its current status and name later through the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act. The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, is a much more recent institution, established in 2006 as part of a new generation of science research centers. While the provided snippets discuss the general history of engineering colleges and the first IIT in Kharagpur [1], the specific chronology confirms the Indian Institute of Petroleum as the earliest established in this list.
