History - 

The college was set up when B.C. Joshi, PVSM AVSM, ADC (1935–1994), the then Chief of Army Staff of the Indian Army, saw the need for an engineering college for the children of all ranks of the Indian Army. His view was that children of army personnel were disadvantaged as far as education was concerned due to the direct consequence of soldiers serving under difficult conditions in remote areas where educational facilities are not always available. Additionally, the regular movement of army personnel, potentially across the country, affects the continuity of education. AIT was formally inaugurated by Gen S.Roy Chaudhary PVSM, ADC on 24th Feb 1995. The first batch of students graduated in 1998. The succeeding batches continue to excel in all fields - be it sports, cultural or academics. The beautiful campus, serene ambiance and architectural splendor, state of the art infrastructure, all provide vital ingredients for a delectable academic environment for the development of total quality engineers. And this tradition of excellence continues with every new batch coming to the Institution.

Vision

We at AIT, strive for excellence in providing the right environment for the development of physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual quotients with a view to producing total quality engineers, preparing them to face challenges of the modern information society.
