In the year 1983, the Institute started with the academic programme at UG level in the area of Electronics & Communication Engineering with an intake of 45 Students under the Faculty of Technology, University of Delhi. New programmes in the areas of Computer Engineering, Instrumentation & Control Engineering, Manufacturing Processes & Automation Engineering were added subsequently. Administrative autonomy was granted to the Institute in 1986. The Institute was registered as a Society in the name of “Delhi Institute of Technology” (DIT) on 12 June 1987.The Institute initiated Ph.D. programmes in 1989 and also formulated a number of PG programmes, four of which were approved by the AICTE in the year 1994. From 1983 till 1998, the Institute was operating from its old campus at Old I.G. Block, Kashmere Gate, Delhi–110 006. The Institute is affiliated to University of Delhi for all its UG, PG and Ph.D. programmes.

The Institute was formally inaugurated in its own new Campus in Dwarka, New Delhi, on 23 January 1997 by Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, then Prime Minister of India. The Institute was renamed as “Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology” (NSIT) in the year 1997.

The college is known for its lucrative placement packages which hundreds of IT companies offer to Undergraduate students every year. Companies such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Adobe Systems, Amazon.com, Directi, etc are recruiting students on regular basis from the College.

Since its inception, Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) (erstwhile Delhi Institute of Technology) has grown steadily both in size as well as in the scope of its activities. The basic structure of organization, functions and powers of the Institute are laid down in the “Memorandum of Association and Rules & Regulations” and the “Profile of Growth” of the Institute.

The Delhi government has proposed a Science and Technology Park (STP) at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) with the key objective being to 'establish Delhi as the hub of the knowledge industry'^[6]

Admissions [edit]

The admission towards a full-time Bachelor of Engineering degree in NSIT is through the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education. 85% of the seats are reserved for students who pass from high schools in the National Capital Territory of Delhi or Delhi region. The remaining 15% seats are for candidates from outside the Delhi region and are admitted on the basis of All India merit Rank in AIEEE.^[7] NSIT Admissions 2013 will be based on JEE Main 2013 Exam All Indian Rank.

Admission to postgraduate programs leading to M.Tech. degree is based on performance in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) qualifying exam, followed by an interview.^{[citation needed]}

Admission to Ph.D programs is through written test, presentation and interview. The Institute offers Rs 25000/= pm as the Teaching-Cum-Research Fellowship (TRF) to all selected research scholars. The selected TRFs get an enhanced fellowship of Rs 30000/= pm from second year onwards after a rigorous review of the progress and research work of the candidates. A scheme of admitting 10 additional Research Scholars under QIP program of AICTE has also been approved recently for which admissions will be conducted in 2013.
