Chitkara Institute of Engineering & Technology was affiliated to Punjab Technical University until 2010. It has become the first choice among the student community in North India and this fact has been reinforced by being consistently ranked in the top 50 private engineering colleges in the country.

It has been accredited by NAAC with an impressive score of 2.89 on a 4 point scale. With the establishment of Chitkara University, CIET has become one of its constituent institutions and will now look forward to achieving higher benchmarks in Engineering Education.
