Jahangirabad Institute of Technology - JIT

Jahangirabad Educational Trust (JET) was established in 2001 to advance the cause of technical and professional education with a focus on less developed segments of the society in general and Muslim minority community in particular. Jahangirabad Media Institute (JMI) was the first institution initiated by JET offering broadly-based professional certificate programs in electronic media, subsequently adding postgraduate programs in business administration and mass communications. In 2009, JET started Jahangirabad Educational Trust Group of Institutions (JETGI) as an integrated institution of higher learning called the Jahangirabad Institute of Technology (JIT), offering engineering and management programs approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). JIT trustees and supporters are professionally successful and passionate Indians who have come together to promote affordable quality education.

The fort has taken a historical step. It has turned itself into JIT as a symbol of a promising future in becoming a place of distinctive higher learning.
