The National Institute of Technology (NIT) is Pakistan’s first federally chartered American-style university, established to deliver globally aligned, innovation-driven education. With its Federal Charter awarded on January 25, 2025, NIT is empowered with full academic and administrative autonomy.
Located in Lahore, NIT will welcome its first cohort in October 2025 with two founding faculties: the School of Management Sciences and the School of Data Sciences and Information Technology.
In partnership with Arizona State University (ASU)—ranked #1 in the U.S. for innovation by U.S. News & World Report for 10 consecutive years—NIT provides students access to dual degree opportunities, an American-modeled curriculum, and membership in the global ASU–Cintana Alliance.
NIT is committed to developing future-ready graduates who are critical thinkers, self-starters, and equipped to lead in a fast-changing global landscape.
