Girijananda Chowdhury Institute of Management & Technology was founded on 7th September 2006 as the first non-governmental engineering institute in the state of Assam under the aegis of the Shrimanta Shankar Academy Society, a registered service organization set up in the year 1992 to make significant contribution for social upliftment through education and also to inculcate among the youth a sense of discipline.
Ever Since its inception, the institute's aim has been to establish a morally sound educational system, which not only produces competent professionals but also excellent human beings contributing towards the welfare of the society.

Initially, GIMT was affiliated to the oldest and most reputed University in the State i.e., Gauhati University. Under the policy to bring all the engineering colleges under the same umbrella, Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU) was established by Govt. of Assam and since AUgust 2013, the institute has been affiliated to this University.
The first session of the Institute commenced on 13 July 2006 with 240 student in four disciplines leading to the Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (ETE), Applied Electronics and Instrumentation (AEI), COmputer Science and Engineering (CSE) and INformation Technology (IT). Two more undergraduate programmes in Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Electrical Engineering (EE) were added in the year 2007 and 2008 respectively. Further in the year 2014, Civil Engineering (CE) was established. The first postgraduate course in Business Administration leading to award to MBA degree was introduced in the year 2008.
In 2009, the second postgraduate programme in Computer Application leading to award of MCA degree commenced at the institute.
The institute also has approval from AICTE for Master of Technology (M.Tech) Programme in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE), Instrumentation and Control Engineering (ICE) and Thermal and Fluid Engineering (TFE).
Although only 14 years old, GIMT has already evolved as a pioneer in the field of higher technical education. The quality is further amply recognized when five engineering programmes (b.Tech in AEI, CSE, ME, EE ECE) were provisionally accredited by NBA in 2016.
