The National Institute of Foundry and Forge Technology (NIFFT) is a fully residential Government of India co-educational institute located in the mineral-rich belt of India in the town of Ranchi.

It was established in 1966 by the Government of India in collaboration with UNDP - UNESCO to provide qualified engineers and specialists for running Foundry and Forge industries. The objectives of the Institute have broadened to meet the present need of the industries, with the introduction of departments of Manufacturing Engineering (ME) and Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (MME).

NIFFT activities include teaching, training, research and development, consultancy and documentation and information retrieval services in manufacturing engineering and industrial metallurgy.
