NIFFT
has long been known as the launching portal for the engineers with vision. It is
the only institute in South Asia specializing in foundry and forge technology.
With the expansion of the institute, the instructions in the allied fields such
as material science and metallurgical technology, manufacturing technology,
environmental engineering and information technology has also received impetus.
NIFFT faculty and students work together in cutting edges of their area,
developing and applying the latest in the technological achievements. Moreover,
acquisition of sophisticated instruments like X-ray Diffractometer, Scanning
Electron Microscope, Metallurgical Image Analyzer etc., over the years have
provided further boost to research and teaching in aforementioned areas. Strong
ties with industries and availability of the latest state-of-the-art facilities
in the area of the production research profession keep our programs on the fore
front of development. The management of the institute is vested with the Board
of Governors, with Chairman at its apex and members representing Govt. of India
(Ministry of HRD), AICTE, Private and Public Enterprises, Technical and R&D
Institutions.

Departments:
Manufacturing Engineering:
Manufacturing Technology is one of the latest technologies to have been imported from the U.S.
of A. as a specialized Engineering branch. It was first opened in the IITs at Delhi
and Kharagpur. It was opened in NIFFT in 1991.
Manufacturing Engineering is
concerned with the integration of management concepts and computers in
production technology. The job of a manufacturing engineer involves activities
beginning with the design of the product, selection of the suitable material
right till the labeling of finished product. He/she has to decide the
combination of manufacturing processes which will be used for manufacture of the
product most economically and efficiently. For near optimal performance, a
manufacturing engineer has now become increasingly dependent upon Artificial
Intelligence (AI) , Expert Systems and Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing
techniques. Furthermore
he has to implement these manufacturing processes in an automated assembly line.
Metallurgy
and Materials Sciences:
Metallurgy has from time immemorial been one of the corner-stones of
Engineering and Technology. This department, the Metallurgy and Materials
Science Engineering was started in 1998 in NIFFT.
The main objective of a
metallurgical engineer is to monitor the extraction and processing of metals in
the most economic and viable methods. The undergraduates of this trade have an
edge over the traditional metallurgical engineers. This fact is credited to the
Materials Science department which provides a perfect blend of Polymer and
Ceramic engg. in addition to the conventional Metallurgical engg. Computer
simulation techniques and state-of-the-art process analysis of complicated
metallurgical processes by the nerds of this branch have made many a
breakthrough possible.
