INTRODUCTION:
The Indian Institutes of Technology (popularly
known as IITs) are institutions of national importance
established through an Act of Parliament for fostering
excellence in education. There are fifteen IITs
at present, located in Bhubaneswar, Bombay (Mumbai),
Delhi, Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore,
Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras (Chennai), Mandi, Patna,
Punjab, Rajasthan and Roorkee. Over the years
IITs have created world class educational platforms
dynamically sustained through internationally
recognized research based on excellent infrastructural
facilities. The faculty and alumni of IITs continue
making huge impact in all sectors of society,
both in India and abroad. Institute of Technology,
Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU), Varanasi and
Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad, are the
oldest institutions in India and are known for
their immense contributions towards society at
large and for science and technology in particular.
The primary objectives behind such institutions
are to:
• Build a solid foundation of scientific and technical
knowledge and thus to prepare competent and motivated
engineers and scientists.
• Create environment for freedom of thought, cultivate
vision, encourage growth, develop personality
and self- discipline for pursuit of excellence.
• Kindle entrepreneurial streak.
All of the above help to prepare the students
admitted to these institutions for successful
professional and social lives. Today, alumni of
these institutions occupy key positions in industry
and academia in India and abroad.
Each institute has well-equipped modern laboratories,
state-of-the-art computer network and well stocked
technical library. Teaching methods rely on direct
personal contact between the teachers and the
students and the use of traditional and modern
instructional techniques. Students live in a pleasant
and intellectually stimulating environment with
people having similar goals and aspirations, which
is an exciting and unique experience.
Credit-based academic programmes offer flexibility
to students to progress at their own pace. A minimum
level of performance is necessary for satisfactory
progress. The medium of instruction is English.
These institutions offer courses leading to Bachelor's
degree in a number of engineering, technological
and scientific disciplines.
M.Sc. Integrated courses in pure and applied sciences
and M.Tech. Integrated courses in a few disciplines
are also offered by some of these Institutions.
