History [edit]
National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur was originally founded as Regional Institute of Technology in 1960 by Dr. Srikrishna Sinha, the then chief minister of the Indian state of Bihar (undivided) at Jamshedpur. Having been a freedom fighter himself, he chose the auspicious day of 15 August 1960 to lay the foundation stone. It was among the first eight Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) established as part of the Second Five-Year Plan (1956–1961). It was the only REC which was set-up as an institute of technology rather than a college of engineering at that time. It now serves as the NIT for the newly carved state of Jharkhand, while NIT Patna serves as the NIT for the state of Bihar.
The college was upgraded to National Institute of Technology on 27 December 2002, and conferred the status of a Deemed University. It is now under the complete control of the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Government of India, New Delhi since 1 April 2003.[1]
