Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT), also known as NIT Allahabad, was established in the year 1961 in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. It was founded as one of India’s seventeen Regional Engineering Colleges as a joint venture of the Indian government and Uttar Pradesh state government. MNNIT is associated with India’s third oldest university i.e., the University of Allahabad.

Earlier MNNIT was known as Motilal Nehru Regional Engineering College (MNREC) and was renamed as MNNIT on 26 June 2002,

History

Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s former prime minister, laid the foundation stone of MNNIT. Gopal Kishore Agrawal being the founder Principal. Gopal Kishore Agrawal being the founder Principal. The college identifies itself as being the first in the nation to start a Computer Science & Engineering undergraduate degree in the year 1976.

Other undergraduate programs in Electronics Engineering, and Production and Industrial Engineering were started in 1982-83. MNNIT started its postgraduate courses in all the engineering fields in the year 1970. Having traveled a long way, on 26 June 2002, MNREC was transformed into a National Institute of Technology (NIT) and Deemed Universities, fully funded by the Government of India, with over 45 years of experience and accomplishments in the technical field. Also, on the Independence Day of 2007, MNNIT was declared as an institution of national importance.
