Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology

What Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology does

Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) is a public state university located in Delhi, India, operating under the Government of NCT of Delhi. Originally founded in 1983 as Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) and converted to university status under the Delhi Netaji Subhas University of Technology Act, 2017 (effective September 26, 2018), NSUT delivers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in engineering, technology, architecture, design, science, and humanities across three campuses (Main, East, West) spanning 145 acres in Dwarka, New Delhi. Its primary student intake is routed through the JEE Main / JAC Delhi centralized counselling system for B.Tech and B.Arch, the Samarth portal for lateral entry, B.Des, M.Tech, M.Sc., M.A., and Ph.D. programs, and the DASA scheme for international students.

NSUT's academic platform is supported by research infrastructure including an Industrial Research & Development (IRD) Unit, a Centre of Computing and Networking (CCN), and a Central Computer Center with approximately 400 computer systems. Active research focus areas include AI in healthcare, deep reinforcement learning for DDoS detection in IIoT/SCADA networks (published accuracy of 97.65%), QKD-based secure optical networks, 6G communication, quantum communication, and environmental health. The university maintains MoUs with over a dozen international universities and has recently added strategic partnerships with the Indian Army for defence AI applications and with MeitY under the IndiaAI Mission for two proposed AI Centers of Excellence.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: Delhi government budget allocation (FY 2026-27 allocation for higher and technical education rose 16.5% to Rs 720 crore), tuition and academic fees across all program levels, and research grants plus sponsored/industry-funded master's programs in areas such as VLSI Design Tools & Technology, Construction Technology and Management, and Power Generation Technology. NSUT does not have external shareholders or private equity investors; governance rests with a Chancellor (the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi) and a Vice Chancellor (currently Anand Srivastava).
