“National Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (NIAMT), Ranchi (erstwhile National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology (NIFFT) Ranchi) was established in 1966 by the Government of India with the assistance of UNESCO. In the year 2024, Government of India has conferred the status of Deemed to be University (under distinct category) to NIAMT, Ranchi.
NIAMT Ranchi, over the years, has evolved a industry centric four-tier academic framework constituted by Advanced Diploma, B. Tech, M. Tech and PhD programmes in the relevant fields of study. The present academic framework of NIAMT includes the multidisciplinary feature of Advanced Manufacturing Technology involving B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Production and Industrial Engineering, Computer Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. The Doctoral program is focused on application of fundamental knowledge towards value addition in processes and products.
The faculty of the Institute are recruited with high eligibility standards, at par with INIs, and are exceptional in their areas of expertise. The consistent passion and effort of faculty members in education, research, and industry-specific training and skill development, over the years, has created the brand of the Institute in the niche domain of manufacturing Technology. The academic and administrative endeavours of the Institute is effectively supported by highly experienced officers and technical staff in conducting training and research at laboratories and workshop as well as conducting the activities at different administrative sections.
Keeping the emerging need for digital competence in the manufacturing sector in view, the Institute has established the Centre of Excellence in Industry 4.0, in collaboration with the Software Technology Park of India, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, GoI, to produce the vanguards in achieving self-reliance in digital manufacturing, as well as to promote incubation of start-ups and entrepreneurship in the domain of digital manufacturing. (e.g., big data, ML, AI, IoT, etc.)
In a parallel effort, the Institute has initiated the establishment of a meticulously designed Smart Manufacturing facility in collaboration with Central Manufacturing Technology Institute, Bangalore Besides the opportunities in the emerging areas of manufacturing technology, the Institute finds plenty of untapped opportunities in small and microscale rural artisanship and organic resource-based livelihood practices popular in the State of Jharkhand. With an aim to include these segments in holistic economic prospect, the Institute has established the inclusive Technology Business Incubation centre (a section 8 company) to promote inclusive self-reliance.
In summary, NIAMT is committed to exert its all-out endeavour to adapt, develop and disseminate the technological, translational and transformational competence with an aim to emerge as a globally visible knowledge hub in Advanced Manufacturing technology Ranchi.

Department of Foundry Technology and Department of Forge Technology independently came into existence in 1966 at the time of inception of Institute. In 1966 both the departments jointly started offering Advanced Diploma Courses (ADC) to provide trained manpower in the primary metal processing industries.
In 1985, M. Tech program was introduced with the specialization of foundry and forge technology. To cater the industrial demand of graduate engineering with expertise in manufacturing domain, after the long legacy in foundry and forge technology, the academic merger of both the department happened in 2022, and started offering B. Tech. course in Production and Industrial Engineering with honours in Foundry and Forge Technology.
The department offers following course to provide technically qualified human resources to Foundry, Forge, allied metal shaping and manufacturing industries:
The Institution of Engineers (India) or IEI is the largest multidisciplinary professional body that encompasses 15 engineering disciplines and gives engineers a global platform for sharing professional interests. IEI has membership strength of above 0.8 million. Established in 1920, with its headquarters at 8 Gokhale Road, Kolkata-700020, IEI has served the engineering fraternity for close to a century. During this period of time, IEI has been inextricably linked with the history of modern-day engineering.
In 1935, IEI was incorporated by Royal Charter and remains the only professional body in India which has been accorded this honour. Today, its quest for professional excellence has given it a place of pride in almost every prestigious and relevant organization across the globe. It provides a vast array of technical, professional and supporting services to the Government, Industries, Academia and the Engineering fraternity, operating through its 125 Centres located across the country and 6 overseas chapters. Besides, IEI has bilateral agreements with about 31 international bodies and membership of another 8 international bodies of the developed nations across the globe.
IEI has been recognized as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by the Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India and besides conducting its own research, provides Grant-in-Aid to UG/PG/PhD students of Engineering institutes and Universities.
IEI holds the International Professional Engineers (IntPE) Register for India under the global International Professional Engineers Alliance (IntPEA). The institution also awards the Professional Engineers (PE) Certification.
IEI in collaboration with Springer regularly publishes peer-reviewed international journals in five series, namely, Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E covering fifteen engineering disciplines.
The Ranchi Sub-Centre of The Institution of Engineers (India) was founded on 23rd July 1961 and over the years, the subcentre was upgraded to Local Centre on 5th August 1983 and elevated to State Centre on 30th March 2001 after the creation of Jharkhand State. This centre was always striven to increase its various activities so as to cater fully the needs of the engineering fraternity at Ranchi. This centre has been actively engaged in articulating various technical matters, and on the engineer's role in society and as managers. In addition to various technical activities, this centre has been actively associated in organizing cultural programmes by the wives of the members (EWA) to inculcate bond among members and their families. All Statutory Days such as Engineers day, World Water Day, World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, World Environment Day, etc. are celebrated every year with family members.
From a little hut to a campus with a three storied building, two conference halls, each capable of seating 100 people, office, library, guest an auditorium for 300 people, 3 classroom for continuous education has been an impressive journey.This has been possible only due to the dedicated contributions of esteemed members, State Government, Public Sector Undertakings and Private Sector Organisations.
Jharkhand State Centre has been designated as 'A' category centre by The Institution of Engineers (India) with around 6000 corporate members and 7500 student members.
