National Institute of Foundry & Forge Technology (NIFFT), Ranchi was established in 1996. NIFFT Ranchi is affiliated to Ranchi University.

NIFFT Ranchi, as it is known, imparts technical education through its research programmes, refresher and special courses.

Industrial development plays an important role in the development of the country. To Provide the requisite quality & quantity of trained manpower at different level, Govt. of India set up the National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology (NIFFT) in the year 1966 in collaboration with UNDP-USESCO. NIFFT is registered as Society under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. The management of the Institute is vested with Board of Governors with Chairman at its apex and members representing Govt. of India (Ministry of HRD & industry), AICTE, Private and Public enterprises, technical and R & D organizations. Recently, the institute changed its name to National Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (NIAMT). During the last five-six decades NIAMT (formerly NIFFT) has earned a reputation as a leading institute for teaching, training, research & development, consultancy and documentation and information retrieval services in manufacturing technology and related areas of academic and industrial interest. With the globalization of the market, competitiveness in industries has increased tremendously.
