Nanjing Institute of Technology

The Nanjing Institute of Technology (NJIT; Chinese: 南京工程学院) is a provincial public institute in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, located at No. 1 Hongjing Avenue, Jiangning District, Nanjing, Jiangsu. Postal Code: 211167. The institute is affiliated with the Province of Jiangsu and sponsored by the provincial government.

The institute was established in June 2000 through the merger of Nanjing Mechanical Higher Vocational School (南京机械高等专科学校) and Nanjing Electric Power Higher Vocational School (南京电力高等专科学校). Now this institute is actively exploring application-oriented education, distinguishing itself from those more research-focused universities. Upholding the motto of “Learning for Application” and the spirit of “Integrating Knowledge and Practice, Inspiring Entrepreneurship and Innovation”, NJIT plays an initiative role in China to advocate for “cultivating application-oriented talents” and to implement “application-oriented undergraduate education”.
