Yangon Technology University

Yangon Technological University or the Yangon Institute of Technology (YIT, ) is also known as RIT (Rangoon Institute of Technology). It was the first engineering university in Myanmar. Located in Gyogone, Insein, Yangon, it offers a B.E. Engineering degree, and Masters and Doctorate programs.

After the BEHL (Basic Education High Level) exam (equivalent to O levels in Britain), YTU offers an engineering degree after 6 years of study. At the third year, students are divided according to their interests. They offer 11 titles of degree for undergraduate, namely Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Metallurgy, Petroleum Engineering, Textile, Aeronautical Engineering options and Architecture. Among them, Civil, Mechanical and Electronic engineering are on the highest demand by students. A food diploma is offered by Chemical Engineering.

After the 1996 and 1998 Uprising, the military government relocated many universities from the capital of Yangon to rural areas. Today, many cities have GTCs (Government Technology Colleges), formerly known as G.T.I.s (Government Technical Institutes), which offer 2-year engineering courses. Qualified students will enter engineering universities such as the Mandalay Technological University.
