National Institutes of Technology

The National Institutes of Technology (NITs) which are originally called as the Regional Engineering Colleges (REC) are the premier colleges of engineering and technology education in India. The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, in 2002 had decided to upgrade, in phases, all the original 17 Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) as National Institutes of Technology (NITs), on the lines of the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). They are rated just next to the IITs in terms of student quality, research and placements. At present, there are 20 NIT's, with latest being NIT, Agartala. All the 20 NIT's offer degree courses, masters and doctorate levels in various branches of engineering and technology. The entire non-recurring expenditure and expenditure for post-graduate courses during the REC times were borne by the central government. With the flow of more funds NITs are expected to take on IITs to become the best technical institutes.
