The Central Institute of Technology Kokrajhar (CITK) is a public technical university[1] established in 2006 and owned by the Government of India.

The genesis of this Institute was the memorandum of Settlement on Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) signed between the Assam Government, the Government of India and the Bodo Liberation Tigers Force, on 10 February 2003, in New Delhi.

The Institute is an autonomous body registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and functions under a Board of Governors (BOG).

The Institute was declared a Deemed University by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), a recommendation from the Central Government under the "De-Novo" category on 13 December 2018.
