Established on October 2, 1999, the Rustamji Institute of Technology (RJIT) holds the unique distinction of being the first engineering college in India founded and managed by a Para Military Force.
The institute was born out of the vision of Padma Vibhushan Shri K.F. Rustamji, the founding father and first Director General of the Border Security Force (BSF). He recognized that BSF personnel, often deployed to remote borders and high-conflict zones, faced immense challenges in securing quality technical education for their children. RJIT was created to bridge that gap, honoring those who serve and sacrifice for the nation.
The institute is established and run by the Border Security Force
RJIT operates all its academic programs in a self-finance mode, ensuring institutional growth and high-quality infrastructure through sustainable internal management.
While dedicated to serving the wards of BSF and CAPF personnel, the institute makes 50% of its seats available to civilian wards , fostering a highly diverse, inclusive, and disciplined learning environment.
