Established in 1881, the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is located just 20 minutes away from Manhattan, by train. NJIT has over 130 years of rich history and is a top national university – as per US News & World Report.
With a student–teacher ratio of 18:1, NJIT – a leading public polytechnic institution – is a world-class place to learn and explore. It prepares future leaders for the technology-driven economy. NJIT offers 128 undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in its six professional schools and colleges, and the small class size makes it convenient for students to closely interact with the faculty.
NJIT’s brand new 48-acre campus accommodates new and improved facilities for students. The vibrant campus offers an opportunity for every student to be part of the multicultural community. It also offers students a chance to explore the largest city of New Jersey- Newark, along with a number of things to try and places to visit.
Over 50% of freshman students live on campus, and they enjoy the youthful atmosphere surrounding them. A number of support services are on offer for students studying at NJIT, including career development services where students gain exposure to different workplace cultures and career opportunities. As per Money magazine, NJIT is one among 25 colleges with graduates earning six-figure salaries. And according to payscale.com,NJIT is one of the top 1% for return on investment.
NJIT has witnessed a lot of exciting developments recently. The Institute continues to invest in the renewal of its existing facilities in addition to adding new spaces, all of which are aimed at providing an exceptional teaching, learning and living environment.
The centrepiece of the Institute’s plans to renovate and revamp the campus is the 200,000-square-foot Wellness and Events Center. The Center boasts a 25-meter swimming pool, a 10,000-square-foot turf space, and a 3,500-seat sports arena.
The new, multi-disciplined Life Sciences and Engineering Center provides 21st-century research facilities and new opportunities for collaboration and learning. The new structure features a two-story atrium and presentation space for informal learning, gathering and teaching. There is also a new exterior plaza and a lounge area, with cosy nooks for students to study in and relax.
Along with its partners from government and industry, NJIT also celebrated the opening of Makerspace, a training-focused, rapid prototyping facility. The 10,000-sq.-ft. space houses equipment ranging from small 3D printers to large industrial machining centres, such as precision measurement and laser cutting machines. The facility is aimed at bringing manufacturers to the campus and providing them with the tools to build and test prototypes of their most innovative products.
With all these developments, in addition to significant and continuing improvements in the pipeline for labs and other facilities, NJIT seems set to embrace the challenges of living and working in the modern world.
Academics at NJIT are an ideal blend of liberal and technical education, venturing beyond typical domain areas such as engineering, architecture, and science. This enables interdisciplinary learning at the intersections with the humanities, economics and social sciences.
NJIT has six schools and colleges, namely:
The colleges enrol close to 11,500 students over a wide range of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programmes. New educational opportunities, including online learning programmes and programmes for pre-college youngsters, are also constantly being developed to meet the changing needs of students.
International students can enrol in one of NJIT’s six schools and colleges:
The Newark College of Engineering has been providing quality engineering education since 1919. The college offers a range of courses at all levels, over a wide range of subject areas that include relatively unconventional choices such as Biomedical Engineering, Transport, Pharmaceutical Engineering and Occupational Health and Safety Engineering.
The College of Science and Liberal Arts offers programmes at the undergraduate and master’s levels, and Teacher Education programmes across six major academic departments:
The Martin Tuchman School of Management is one of over 780 schools, across 50 countries, to be accredited by AACSB International, the highest standard of achievement globally for business schools. The School offers undergraduate majors and minors in various business concentrations, different MBA options, and a PhD in Business Data Science.
The Albert Dorman Honours College offers a challenging educational experience to students who have demonstrated academic excellence and are engaged in notable service activities, via Honours courses, colloquia, study tours, research experiences, and a variety of accelerated degree partnerships.
The Ying Wu College of Computing offers programmes in areas ranging from Bioinformatics to Cyber Security. Co-op programmes in collaboration with industry and a high-tech, state-of-the-art environment for students and faculty are notable features of the College.
NJIT considers applications from international students on the basis of their entire academic record, in particular their grades in math, science and English.
NJIT considers highest scores obtained on the SAT or ACT, using the ‘math + critical reading’ composite. The expected average SAT score is 1190. It is recommended that those with scores below 1100 try and retake the test to raise their score.
International students whose native language is not English must demonstrate proof of proficiency in the language, by taking the TOEFL and scoring a minimum of:
Alternately, a minimum score of 6.0 on the IELTS will also be considered for admission. Additionally, non-native speakers of English will need to take a placement test in English upon arrival on campus.

The Office of Research at NJIT is committed to promoting the highest quality creativity and innovation to enhance students’ knowledge, through new discoveries and applied technology development.
NJIT’s 2020 Vision sets the overall goal of achieving prominence in research in key areas of high societal impact. Research enterprise at the Institute focuses on four research clusters:
All clusters comprise multi-disciplinary centres of excellence that encourage partnerships among various disciplines, as well as with other educational institutions, private enterprises and government agencies. NJIT’s 2020 Vision includes increasing the number of research institutes, centres and specialized laboratories to over 100.
Research at NJIT is carried out in collaborative partnerships with industry and businesses. The Enterprise Development Centre transforms research innovation into solutions of high impact.
Both undergraduate and graduate students benefit from a wholesome research experience through numerous internally and externally funded research programmes. The Institute’s faculty grants and contracts directly fund the research efforts of graduate students.
NJIT realises that finance is a major concern for most international students and to that end, facilitates the grant of loans and scholarships to lessen their financial burden. A large part of the financial aid for international students is available in the form of scholarships or private loans.
Private loans are offered through private agencies and lending institutions such as banks, and not through the University or the federal government. Any international student with an eligible U.S. citizen or permanent-resident co-signer may apply.
The International Presidential Scholarship is a scholarship award minus the out-of-state surcharge. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must apply for admission.
The Albert Dorman Honours College Scholarship is only for those students who have gained admission to the Albert Dorman Honours College, in which case they may qualify for additional financial assistance to study at NJIT.
