Jahangirabad Institute of Technology (JIT), is an institute under Jahangirabad Educational Trust Group of Institutions approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for establishment of integrated campus for offering multiple disciplines in Engineering & Management. The institute is promoted by a number of professionally successful Indians who are settled abroad who have come together to promote higher education with leadership skills to give back to the community. The institute is located in the historic fort of Jahangirabad, in Barabanki District, about 40 km from Lucknow city. Barabanki of eastern UP has been out of the technology race and remains industrially backward. But now the fort has been transformed into important center for education, learning and research. JIT has been founded to cherish the great values of transmission of knowledge, passionate pursuit of truth, maintenance of the highest standards of teaching, and enhancing the intellectual, cultural, economic and social well-being of the minority community.
