[[File:National Institute of Technical Teachers' Training and Research, Kolkata 05.jpg|thumb|National Institute of Technical Teachers' Training and Research campus in Salt Lake]]<br />
NITTTR was the first among four such institutes (the other three being at Chandigarh, Bhopal, & Chennai) established by the Department of Education, MHRD, Government of India, as fully centrally funded autonomous institutions for providing pre & in-service training to the teachers and staff of Degree and Diploma level training institutions and also for conducting various activities related to quality improvement of the technical education system of the country. The Government of India, in 2003, accorded national status to this institute, (along with the three sister institutes) in recognition of the contribution of these institutes for the expert service rendered for overall improvement of quality of Technical Education System.<br />
NITTTR Kolkata received Deemed-to-be University status under the Distinct Category on March 11, 2024, by the Union [[Ministry of Education (India)|Ministry of Education]].
