Originally affiliated to the University of Pune, Institute of Armament Technology came into existence in 1952 for training few selected defense personnel on the technology of armaments.

The R&D council of the Ministry of Defence changed the scope of the institute from specialization in armaments to a broader perspective in the years 1964 and 1981.

Central government, on the recommendation of UGC granted IAT the status of being a Deemed University in the year 2000.

IAT is an institute that caters to the needs of defence related organizations like DRDO, Defence Quality Assurance, Defence Ordinance Factories, Defene Aeronautical Quality Assurance, by producing technically trained officers.
