Jiangxi Vocational & Technical College of Industry & Trade (JXIT) is a public and comprehensive academic discipline college including Liberal Arts, Science, Engineering, Economics and Art, accredited by Jiangxi Provincial Ministry of Education.
    It was established in 1964 in the name of its original predecessor --Jiangxi Grain School. Its present name-- Jiangxi Vocational & Technical College of Industry & Trade was adopted in 2003 when Jiangxi Grain School and the officers’ school of Jiangxi government merged to make up the new college.
    Its new campus occupies an area of 420,210 square meters. It is located at the college area of Honggu Tan District, Nanchang City, the capital of Jiangxi Province which is a well-known “hero city” of China. It is not far away from Tengwang Pavilion --one of the three famous pavilions in the South of Yangtze River.
