National Institute of Science & Technology, Berhampur

Campus Location: Berhampur

Located in The National Institute of Science and Technology was established in 1996 and is being managed by the SM Charitable Educational Trust with the mission to “create engineering minds capable of mastering the global challenges of tomorrow’s technology”. The Institute is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE under MHRD, Govt of India) and is affiliated to the Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT). The Institute campus of 60 acres is located at the picturesque Palur Hills about 12 kms from Berhampur and 3 hours drive from Bhubaneswar.The Institute has grown by leaps and bounds under the able leadership of the founder Director, Prof. Sangram Mudali, Director (M.S., University of Houston, B. Tech., IIT Kanpur), Prof. (Mrs.) Geetika Mudali, Placement Director, (M.S.(MIS), New Jersey Institute of Technology, NJ), Prof. Ajit K. Panda, Dean, (Boyscast Scholar at University of Michigan, USA)., About 2700 students are studying in various disciplines of B. Tech, M.Tech (CSE, ECE), MCA, MBA & PGDM at NIST.The entire campus is 24x7 wi-fi connected. For the recreation of students and employees of the Institute, we have Lawn Tennis court, Basket Ball court, Swimming Pool, Cricket ground, Paragliding, Gymnasium, Adventure Sports, Canoeing, Kayaking, Himalayan Trekking, etc. A plethora of rock gardens, fruit gardens, nurseries, water fountains, aquarium, glass house for cactus vegetation, animal parks, etc., make the campus an eco-friendly zone where man and nature coexist in a rare ambience away from the dust and grime of city life., NIST has State-of-the-art-laboratories equipped with Lab-equipments like, Distributed Control Systems, PLC , Interactive-Non Interactive Process Trainer, Batch Process Reactor Trainer, Level Transmitter Trainer, 5 HP shunt motor coupled to 3 KVA alternator salient pole type with 3 point starter field regulator for motor, alternator & experimental panel, TRANSFORMER Experimental Trainer, AC DRIVE, AC SOFT STARTER, PLC MACHINE & DRIVE, SYMBOLS shakti, Software like, Synopsis, Cadence, IE3D, Tanner, Xilinx, and Equipments like, Vector Network Analyzer, Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer, FPGA Board, etc. The teaching learning process has been significantly enhanced with the availability of NPTEL courseware (web based and video based) from the IITs / IISc which are being extensively used by all faculty and students. NIST is the only Institute in Eastern India to have implemented full e-governance (online ERP systems) in all aspects of teaching and administration using its internally developed programs by its NIST Technology Consulting Services (NTCS). Presently NTCS is implementing e-governance in all Institutes under the Biju Pattnaik University of Technology, Orissa.More than 40 Top Multinational and Indian IT sector & Core Engineering sector companies are hiring our students each year. In the year 2009, the top five companies hired about 400 students from NIST. They are TCS (159), Wipro (117), Infosys (59), Mphasis (38) and Vedanta (21). In addition numerous companies hired NIST students leading to 80% on-campus placement in top-notch companies. NIST conducts certification courses during summer vacation on VLSI, Oracle, Industrial Automation, Java, .NET, SAP, Japanese Language, Soft-skills, etc. to groom the students and make them Industry-Ready., The Institute runs clubs on Robotics, Electronics, Renewable Energy, Bioinformatics, Literary, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Programming, Music, etc. The Institute has tied up with companies like, Infosys, Wipro, Mphasis, TCS, etc., for Projects, Technical and Soft-skills Certification courses etc., through corporate-campus connect programmes. NIST is rated the best for its GATE coaching, VLSI, CCNA, Oracle, JAVA, SAP certification courses and Egovernance practices (ERP) among all the Technical Institutes of Orissa.In a short span, the National Institute of Science & Technology has succeeded in making an indelible mark on the engineering education community of Orissa. NIST is fast becoming the most preferred institute of top AIEEE and JEE rank holders., Students of more than 13 states are studying in the Institute. This has been made possible by the relentless efforts put in by the faculty and staff of NIST in upholding the highest professional standards in education. We have to work together to ensure that NIST remains an exemplary island in the sea of academic mediocrity that threatens to obliterate India's rich educational past..
