The Organisation is concerned with the student’s academic, political, social and recreational activities. Every student becomes a member of DITSO (Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology Student Organisation) and students are advised to make their academic life meaningful by making their Organisation contribute positively towards the Institute Vision, Mission and its objectives.
STUDENTS’ CATERING SERVICES
NTA Level 4-6 and FTCstudents are not paid meal allowances, instead, meals are provided by the Institute in a dining hall located in the campus. Menu depends on the ability of the sponsor. Government sponsored B.Eng students obtain their meals from a number of points providing catering services within the proximity of the Institute. The same applies to all day privately sponsored students.

The vision of the DIT Health Care Unit is to expand the services, which will include provision of in-patient services and medical laboratories. Before admission to DIT, each student is required to furnish the Institute with a satisfactory medical report from a recognised medical practitioner or medical officer. Students are directed to report at the Health Care Unit each time before they embark for any referral treatment.
GENDER DEVELOPMENT UNIT (Formally known as GMU)
Gender Development Unit (GDU) is a unit which deals with solving problems related to gender imbalance in education and training at DIT. The task force, in collaboration with DIT management, plans and implements various programs for improving enrolment of female students in engineering courses. The establishment of GDU at DIT is an important strategy for bridging the ever-growing gap in technical education between men and women at the Institute and the society at large. In the near future, GDU will also undertake the task of promoting capacity building for female staff at the Institute through seminars, workshops and other related courses.
