Dimapur, June 18 (MExN): NITI Nagaland on June 18 celebrated its 26th Annual Day, marking its transformation from the erstwhile NIIT Dimapur Centre into an integrated ecosystem encompassing education, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
In a statement issued on the occasion, the institution said it has expanded its activities through NITI Academy for NEET and JEE coaching, NITI Technologies for IT, software and digital solutions, and the NITI Incubation Center for startup and entrepreneurship development.
The institution said the transformation reflects its commitment to preparing young people for future opportunities through technology-driven education and skill development. It added that the presence of eight IIT alumni as faculty members for Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics has strengthened STEM education and preparation for medical and engineering careers.
According to the statement, NITI has contributed to the career development of thousands of students and professionals over the past two-and-a-half decades, many of whom have gone on to become engineers, entrepreneurs, IT professionals, government officers and innovators across India and abroad.
