National Institute of Technology (NIT), Manipur

National Institute of Technology, Manipur was established in 2010 with an aim to provide the best amenities and infrastructure to the students in the field of Science and Engineering. Located in Langol, Imphal NIT Manipur had a very modest beginning with only three Engineering branches. When the institute first embarked on its journey from the Takyelpat Campus, the three branches of Engineering which were offered are Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering at Government Polytechnic. Currently operating from its permanent campus in Langol, Imphal which is 341.5 acres of lush green land, NIT Manipur included two more branches of Engineering, that is Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering in 2014.

National Institute of Technology, Manipur is directly supervised by the Board of Governors from Manipur Societies Registration Act 1989. The Director of NIT Manipur is answerable to the Chairman of Board of Governors which lends transparency to its functioning.

NIT Manipur currently offers five courses under its Undergraduate programme and nine courses under the Postgraduate programme.

The Ministry of Human Resource & Development conferred Deemed University status to NIT Manipur during its inception in 2010.
