It is really a matter of great pleasure to welcome you in the Department of Food Technology of Guru Nanak Institute of Technology has sustainably emerged as one of the premier educational institute in the field of Food Technology in West Bengal. The department has NBA accreditation since 2014. Since its inception in 2006 with an intake of 60 students the department has undergone continual improvement by organizing several EDP, Seminar, conference, workshop, and symposium. We offer a blended learning management system to bring together the progressive sustainable management & technical skills of the industry along with academic expertise of highly experienced and Ph. D. faculty members to disseminate knowledge on the various newer advances and developments in the Food Processing Sector and to emphasize on the different Processing Technologies and its relevance not only to the state level but also to the national and international level. Furthermore students of the department published research papers in different reputed National and International journals, presented Research paper in National/International seminar/ conferences, workshop, and symposium with the guidance of faculty members and awarded also in different oral/poster/ quiz/ Competition held in IIT-KGP, JU, BHU, FOSET, etc.
Eighty nine percent of students say services helps them feel like they belong at GNIT
To become a nationally and internationally recognized institution of Food Technology by producing competent food technologists with respect to industry, research and entrepreneurship leading towards sustainable growth of the nation and imparting service to the society.
To achieve its own vision the Department of Food Technology is committed to
