Heritage Institute of Technology, popularly known as HITK or HIT, is a private autonomous^[1] engineering college in Anandapur, Kolkata, near the East Kolkata Township, West Bengal, India. It is affiliated to West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata.

History

Heritage Institute of Technology was set up on the eastern fringes of Kolkata in 2001 by a group of industrialists hailing from the flourishing information technology, electronics and related industries around Kolkata, and some public figures. The foundation behind the growth of HITK is the Kalyan Bharti Trust. To meet the demand for technical manpower and in view of fiscal constraints at the governmental level, the Kalyan Bharti Trust supplemented the state government’s efforts in setting up new engineering colleges by establishing the Heritage Institute of Technology in September 2000.
