About Narula Institute of Technology
Narula Institute of Technology (NiT) is a private engineering and management college in Agarpara, Kolkata, established in 2001 under the JIS Group Educational Initiative. It is not affiliated with, and should not be confused with, the government-run National Institute of Technology (NIT) network (e.g., NIT Durgapur) — despite sharing the same “NIT” abbreviation, they are entirely separate institutions with different ownership, accreditation, and admission processes.
The college is affiliated with the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), approved by AICTE, and holds NAAC ‘A’ grade accreditation, with most eligible engineering programmes carrying NBA accreditation. It is recognized under Sections 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act, making it eligible for central government assistance, and has featured in NIRF Engineering rankings (band 201–300) from 2017 to 2025.
Narula Institute of Technology offers UG, PG, and diploma programmes across engineering, computer applications, and management, and is commonly compared against other private engineering colleges in Kolkata’s tier-2/3 band — such as IEM, Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT), Techno India, and NSEC — rather than against government institutes like Jadavpur University or IIEST Shibpur.

Admission
Why Choose Narula Institute of Technology
For students who don't clear WBJEE ranks competitive enough for the top-tier Kolkata institutes (Jadavpur University, IIEST Shibpur) but still want a NAAC 'A' and mostly NBA-accredited engineering degree with a functioning placement cell, Narula Institute of Technology sits in a reasonable tier-2/3 private-college band alongside IEM, HIT, Techno India, and NSEC — with placement and fee levels broadly comparable to that peer group.
The honest trade-off: this is not a large standalone campus with the infrastructure scale of an older public university, average placement packages (₹5–6.25 LPA) are modest relative to some published "highest package" headlines, and fee/placement data for this specific college is genuinely inconsistent across ranking aggregators — so treat any single source's numbers as a starting point for verification, not a final answer, before making an admission decision.
Scholarships & Financial Aid
- JIS Group / institutional merit scholarships for top WBJEE/JEE Main rank holders — apply through the admissions office each cycle
- Government SC/ST/OBC/minority postgraduate and undergraduate scholarships, routed through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP); the institute's minority (Sikh) educational trust status may make it eligible for additional minority-institution scholarship schemes
- Full tuition-fee reimbursement: per NIRF 2026 data cited by Careers360, a portion of UG students (965 of 4,266) and PG students (60 of 156) received full tuition-fee reimbursement — confirm current eligibility criteria directly with the institute
- AICTE/state education loan schemes are available through partner banks for eligible students
