Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology (SLIET), established in 1989 and designated an Institute of National Importance, is one of Punjab's premier engineering institutes. Located in Longowal, Sangrur district, it is a fully government-funded GFTI admitting students through JEE Main via JoSAA counselling.
SLIET offers B.Tech programmes across 12 engineering disciplines including Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical, Food Technology, and Biotechnology. Its unique offering of Certificate, Diploma, and B.Tech integrated pathways makes it accessible to students from ITI and polytechnic backgrounds — a distinctive feature not found at most GFTIs.
As an Institute of National Importance, SLIET has NIT-equivalent fee structures and all associated central government scholarship benefits. Its 350-acre campus in the tranquil Punjab countryside provides a fully residential academic environment, with strong sports and cultural facilities.
The Training & Placement Cell at SLIET has strong connections across Punjab's industrial landscape — particularly in food processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and engineering manufacturing. IT and core engineering companies visit campus regularly. Average CTC reached ₹8.8 LPA in 2023–24 with top offers crossing ₹25 LPA.
SLIET's unique heritage — established as a goodwill gesture by the Government of India to the people of Punjab following the Longowal Accord — gives it a special place in Punjab's social fabric. The institute's multi-pathway admission system, strong industry connections, and Institute of National Importance status make it a valued institution in North India's technical education ecosystem.
