The establishment of the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT) was authorized by the DIT Act No 6 of 1997, which replaced the Dar es Salaam Technical College which had been providing technical education in Tanzania since 1957. The original intention of the Dar es Salaam Technical Institute was to provide professional training across the country. The Institute was later renovated in 1962 and became the first official technical training institution in Tanzania, offering technical secondary school courses and training for Technical Assistants.
Today, the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology operates three campuses, namely the Main Campus in Dar es Salaam, the Mwanza Campus in the Mwanza Region, and the Myunga Campus in the Songwe Region. The institute offers approximately twenty-nine applied sciences, engineering, and professional training programs that lead to the awards of Basic Technical Certificates, Ordinary Diplomas, Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Technology, and Master’s Degrees.
