The Pachuca Institute of Technology (in Spanish: Instituto Tecnológico de Pachuca) or ITP is a university in Pachuca de Soto in the Mexican state of Hidalgo.[1]
The idea of founding the institution originated with Dr. Víctor Manuel Ceja Valencia and other alumni of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), who saw the need for a local university when high school graduates had to move to the state capital (Morelia) or as far as Mexico City and Guadalajara to obtain a college education.
