New programs in the areas of Computer Engineering, Instrumentation & Control Engineering, and Manufacturing Processes & Automation Engineering were added subsequently. Administrative autonomy was granted to the institute in 1986. The Institute was registered as a Society in the name of "Delhi Institute of Technology" (DIT) on 12 June 1987 under the Societies Registration Act No. XXI of 1860 (Registration No. S-17742 of 1987).

The Institute was formally inaugurated in its own new campus in Dwarka, New Delhi, 23 January 1997 by Atal Bihari Vajpayee , former Prime Minister of India. The Institute was renamed as "Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology" (NSIT) in the year 1997 vide a Gazette notification.
