'''National Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (NIAMT)''' formerly known as the '''National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology''' ('''NIFFT''') is a [[Public university|public]] [[engineering]] and [[Research university|research institution]] in [[Ranchi]].

It was established in 1966 by the [[Government of India]] in collaboration with [[UNDP]] – [[UNESCO]] to provide qualified engineers and specialists for running [[foundry]] and [[forge]] industries. It is an [[Autonomous university|autonomous]] and Centrally Funded Technical Institute (CFTI) by [[Ministry of Education (India)|Ministry of Education (MOE)]], Government of India.

The institute offers [[Postdoctoral researcher|postdoctoral]], [[Doctorate|doctoral]] and [[Master's degree|master's]] program at the [[Graduate school|graduate]] level and [[Bachelor's degree|bachelor's]] program and advanced diploma courses at the [[Undergraduate education|undergraduate]] level. The objectives of the institute have broadened to meet the present need of the industries, with the introduction of departments of [[Manufacturing engineering|Manufacturing Engineering]] in 1985, [[Materials and Metallurgical Engineering]] in 1998 , [[Mechanical engineering|Mechanical Engineering]] in 2020 and [[Computer engineering|Electronics and Computer Engineering]] in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nifft.ac.in/UserView/UserView.aspx?TypeID=1225|title=About Department-National Institute of Foundry & Forge Technology (NIFFT), Govt.

Apart from training students, NIAMT also provides consultancy, documentation and information retrieval services in manufacturing engineering, industrial metallurgy and in foundry and forge sectors.

==Location==
Located in [[Hatia]], which is about 7.4 km from [[Ranchi]].
Distance from Ranchi Airport: 6 km
Distance from Ranchi Railway Station: 10 km
Distance from Hatia Railway Station: 1.1 km and 140 km from [[Chaibasa]].

== History ==
In consonance with the general guidelines of [[UNESCO]] (1962) regarding establishment of specialized institutes, National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology (NIFFT) was created in 1966 under the [[United Nations Development Programme|UNDP]] program to cater to the need of a large number of technicians in industry. The particular emphasis was on [[foundry]] and [[forge]] technology to meet the demand of trained [[manpower]] in the primary metal manufacturing sectors like [[automobile]], heavy engineering, machine and component [[manufacturing]] etc. Two carefully designed advanced diploma courses, namely foundry and forge technology, were offered.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nifft.ac.in/UserView/UserView.aspx?TypeID=1125|title=About NIFFT-National Institute of Foundry & Forge Technology (NIFFT),Govt. Of India|website=nifft.ac.in|access-date=2021-10-08|archive-date=2021-03-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210306010905/http://nifft.ac.in/UserView/UserView.aspx?TypeID=1125|url-status=live}}</ref>

In view to push forward the knowledge boundary, four [[Master of Engineering|M.Tech]] programs were introduced in the core areas of foundry and forge technology. Subsequently, two [[B.Tech.]] programs, one in [[Manufacturing engineering]] in 1992, and other in Metallurgical and materials engineering in 1998. The courses were affiliated to the [[Ranchi University]]. The affiliation was later granted by the [[Jharkhand University of Technology]] from 2018. In 2020, Manufacturing Engineering was replaced by Mechanical Engineering. However, as of 1 July 2021, the [[University Grants Commission (India)|university grants commission]] has approved the institute for the [[Deemed university|Deemed University]] status under section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/9738359_FINAL-MINUTES-551st-Commission-Meeting.pdf |title=Minutes of the 551st meeting of UGC held on 1st July 2021 |access-date=2021-10-08 |archive-date=2021-10-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002053346/https://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/9738359_FINAL-MINUTES-551st-Commission-Meeting.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2021, the third program in electronics and computer engineering was introduced to reinforce the core framework of foundry and forging technology with the knowledge of materials and manufacturing to cater the emerging need of the industries. The doctoral program for manufacturing engineering began in 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nifft.ac.in/UserView/UserView.aspx?TypeID=1125|title=About NIFFT-National Institute of Foundry & Forge Technology (NIFFT), Govt.
