About Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT), Bangalore
Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT) is an engineering and management institute at Yelahanka, Bengaluru, established in 2001 by the Nitte Education Trust and recognised by AICTE.

The institute is on the Nitte University Campus, P.B. No. 6429, Govindapura, Gollahalli, Yelahanka, Bengaluru 560064.
