| After the establishment of [[Tripura University]] in 1987, the Institute was affiliated with it. Courses toward a degree in [[computer science]] and [[computer engineering|engineering]] were offered beginning in the 1999{{spaced ndash}} 2000 session, and three new degrees were offered beginning in the 2005{{spaced ndash}} 2006 session: Electrical & Electronics, Production and Transportation Engineering.
| |
| | |
| On 23 February 2006, the [[Union Cabinet]] approved the proposal of the [[Tripura Legislative Assembly|state government]] for the conversion of Tripura Engineering College to the National Institute of Technology.

| ==History==
| |
| The Institute was converted from Tripura Engineering College, a State Engineering College, to a National Institute of Technology in 2006. To better reflect this new status, the total seats were increased from 250 to 420 for the academic session 2007{{spaced ndash}} 2008 and undergraduate courses were introduced in electrical and electronics engineering, [[transportation engineering]] and [[production engineering]]. The Civil Engineering Department started a postgraduate programme in [[structural engineering]] to fulfill a state requirement. The campus, which had been nonresidential, was made residential for the 2007{{spaced ndash}} 2008 session with the reopening of two boys' hostels and one girls' hostel. The institute is built over 365.6 acres (1.48 km<sup>2</sup>) of land.
