NIT is a modern and progressive Civil Engineering Institute of the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST). The institute was established in 1991 at Risalpur with the aim to develop competent scientific and technical manpower having international level skills to meet the national needs in the civil engineering field with a focus on transportation sector.

The institute holds the unique honour of providing integrated teaching and research facility for postgraduate work leading to award of MS /PhD degrees in the fields of transportation, structural, and geotechnical engineering. .

NIT is an academic and research and development (R&D) organization which provides engineering research support to the problems identified by national and international organizations. Presently in a nascent stage, it’s aim is to emerge as a center of excellence of international repute for education, research, and training in the fields of transportation, structural, and geotechnical engineering.

NIT has always played a leading role amongst the elite, both within and outside Pakistan to work as a think tank, share expertise, and suggest long term measures to identify and resolve the issues/challenges being confronted related to its mandate. The faculty of the institute has always been involved in national and international level research and consultancy services.

Moreover, the institute endeavors to provide a forum for exchange of knowledge in the three core civil engineering fields. With the development of envisaged infrastructure coupled with modern tools of learning/ research and the diversity of academic programs, the institute is well on its way to combat the challenges of next millennium.
