NSUT, previously NSIT (an autonomous institution under Govt. of NCT of Delhi and affiliated to University of Delhi), is a seat of higher technical education in India. It was established in the year 1983 as Delhi Institute of Technology with the objective of meeting the growing demands of manpower in the emerging fields of engineering and technology with a close social and industrial interface. The Delhi Netaji Subhas University of Technology Act, 2017 (DELHI ACT 06 OF 2018) serves as an act to provide for the reconstitution and upgradation of the Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology as a non-affiliating Netaji Subhas University of Technology, and to provide for education and research in branches of engineering, technology, sciences, humanities, social sciences and management. Over a period of time, the institute has carved a niche for itself, both nationally and internationally for excellence in the field of technical education and research.
