Technology (NIT), the Institute has the responsibility of providing high quality education in Engineering,
Technology and Sciences to produce competent technical and scientific manpower for the country. The Institute offers
BTech, MTech, MSc, MBA and PhD programmes in the several disciplines of Engineering, Technology and Sciences.
In addition to offering formal Undergraduate and Post-graduate Programs, the Institute has been involved in

individual ability and convenience subject to constraint for continuation. Further, there is a total transparency in
the evaluation processes. Accordingly answer books are shown to the students, moderated grades are displayed before

The course structure and syllabi are being remodeled, re-casted, moderated and suitability upgraded with a provision
of constructive suggestions for their improvement. Ordinances and Regulations governing the academics matter are
being framed and put up to the Senate and Board of Governors of the institute for approval. It is hoped that the
academic system involved will be of immense help to students and faculty in smoothly implementing the academic
programmes and achieving academic excellence.
