Jehangirabad Institute of Technology (JIT), an institute of higher learning has been established, with special considerations for minority, in the historical Jahangirabad Fort.  Functional educational and residential infrastructure is added in addition to restoring the historical building to its original pristine beauty. A Media institute, with the state of art facility in electronic media and film making, has completed first year of the diploma program and is being expanded into greater mass communication curriculum with postgraduate programs. 
   
The progress is made in our launch of a postgraduate center for Information and Computer Technology, Management and Media for academic year 2007-8. The JIT would have a complete modern facility and infrastructure for the university level education, including laboratories and multi-media and other electronic facility.  Highly qualified and experienced faculty and administration is being recruited from reputed Indian universities and will be supported by visiting faculties from USA and Europe.

The JET trust of India has been extended great support from the NRI's in USA through IMRC (Indian Muslim Relief and Charities). The vision and mission include providing affordable quality education, particularly to all the underprivileged communities, the large numbers of which are Muslims. The initial emphasis will be on the education that offers employment opportunities addressing their economic plight. The long term objective is to grow this institute into a university of excellence in education with intellectual freedom and independent thinking.

ABOUT JIT

Jahangirabad Institute of Technology (JIT), a minority institution for higher learning, has been established by Jahangirabad Educational Trust (JET) in the picturesque and historical Jahangirabad Fort; spread over 40 acres of orchard land. It is about 40 kilometers from Lucknow, UP. The historical palace has been restored to its original pristine beauty for housing this new institution.

It is a dream project of a large number of professionally successful Indians who have settled in USA, who are keenly interested in advancing the well-being of people in India and the promotion of higher education amongst the disadvantaged people particularly the minorities and the rural youth.

The Indian Muslim Relief and Charities (IMRC), USA, has sponsored and pledged to support the JET Trust. IMRC has been serving the people of India for the past 25 years by providing aid to schools, scholarships to poor, orphanages, and victims of natural and unnatural calamities and the needy, targeting the disadvantaged and minority communities.

The Trust has already established a Media Institute at JIT with a state of the art facility for training in electronic media, film making and mass communication and is currently running a number of diploma programs. Starting with July 2007, the Media Institute will also be offering postgraduate courses in Mass Communication and Electronic Media.  Concurrently, a postgraduate centre will come into existence, starting with premier courses in IT, Management and Media, besides some Social Science programs. The Centre will have modern teaching aids, classrooms, and library and sports facilities. Highly qualified faculty members are being recruited, besides the visiting faculty from across the country and abroad.

Residential nature, round the clock Internet connectivity, uninterrupted power supply, 1ong hours of library, national and international seminars, student magazine, emphasis on field training, freedom to think and express are the foundations for making JIT a centre of excellence with a difference.
