It is one of the oldest and best engineering colleges for Chemical Engineering in India. Campus placements are almost 100%. Similar to the other institutes of technology in India, LIT offers courses after the 10+2 level and Post Graduation courses like M.Tech. and Ph.D.HistoryThe Institute is the only Engineering college directly managed by the Nagpur University. The Institute land was donated by Rao Bahadur D. Laxminarayan on which both the Institute and Nagpur University is located. The college started in early 1940s with two year diploma. Laxminarayan Institute of Technology which was founded in 1942 owes its existence to the munificent donation of the Late Rao Bahadur D. Laxminarayan of Kamptee who by sheer hard work and in spite of many difficulties, not only amassed a considerable fortune, but became a prominent figure in the public affairs of the Province. During his lifetime, it must have occurred to him that the backwardness of the Province was in a large measure due to the lack of higher training and research in Technology. His work brought him into contact with problems which required the aid of Technologists for their solution, and in order that this want should not stand in the way of progress, he bequeathed the main part of his property, then estimated at Rs.35,20,540/- to the Nagpur University by his Will dated 3 May 1930, for the purpose of "Teaching of Applied Science and Chemistry". For this a Committee was appointed by Nagpur University on 6 February 1932, known as the "Bequest Scheme Committee", which consisted of eminent men of Science, Industry and Public Affairs drawn from all over India. This committee with Sir M.B. Niyogi, Vice-Chancellor as Chairman recommended to establish an Institute of Technology for teaching Industrial Chemistry with particular emphasis on the application of Science to the industrial development of the province, then known as Central Provinces and Berar.
