Three decades ago the Jaffna College Institute of Technology and the Jaffna College Institute of Agriculture (JCIT and JAIA) were launched as part of the larger plan of Jaffna College to spread out educational opportunities in various fields other than only mere formal educational pursuits to the people of the Jaffna District.

|
Jaffna College was founded with such a goal and when Dr Luther Jeyasingam became president of Jaffna College, he promptly got the school to move in this direction. One day it is hoped that this will develop into a much wider field to serve a community which needs to re-emerge from the current circumstances that have considerably affected our people. It is institutions of this nature that can give a fresh hope to our people.

|
Such a dream and determination marked the spirit of the Institute Day July 18, 2008 when the anniversary of their founding was celebrated in the premises of Institute of Technology.

|
Presently many students attend both the institutes. The Institute of Agriculture functions in Inuvil where it also has a farm.
