# Rustamji Institute of Technology

The Rustamji Institute of Technology (RJIT) is the first engineering college in India established by a Para Military Force. Due to deployment of the bulk of the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in militancy affected areas, the majority of the force personnel stay separated from their families and are unable to look after the education of their children. A number of personnel are laying down their lives in the fight against anti-national elements every day.
The Rustamji Institute of Technology (RJIT) has been set up with the objective of giving an opportunity to the children of serving BSF personnel as well as for those who have laid down their lives in service to the nation, for acquiring quality based higher technical qualification. The Border Security Force education fund sponsored the development of the Institute. The Institute is named after the founding father of Border Security Force Padma Vibhushan Late K.F. Rustamji. His high ideas and visionary zeal would be a source of inspiration for the students to achieve and secure the highest goals in their careers.
The Institute is located, in the campus of BSF Academy, Tekanpur, on the Gwalior-Jhansi National Highway No. 75, at a distance of 23 km (14 mi) from Gwalior and 14 km (8.7 mi) from Dabra. The Institute campus is self-contained with all the basic facilities for all-round development of students’ personality.
