History

Institute Main Building, BIT Mesra

The Birla Institute of Technology was established in the year 1955 at Mesra, Ranchi, by the philanthropist - industrialist B. M. Birla. During initial years, the institute was affiliated to Patna University until 1960 and then to Ranchi University. BIT was declared a deemed university in 1986 under section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956 under notification No. F. 9-2/83-U.3 of August 28, 1986.

BIT has many firsts to its credit which have been replicated by other institutes later on. BIT was the very first institute in India to establish a department of space engineering and rocketry, in the year 1964.[1] BIT also introduced the concept of Small Industries Entrepreneurs' Park and became the first institute in the country not just to provide 'nursery sheds' and central designing and workshop facilities to young entrepreneurs, but also to facilitate the initial project funding. In line of the above view, Small Industries Research and Development Organization (SIRDO) was set up in 1970 as a launching pad for small manufacturing enterprises run by technical graduates of BIT. A few companies born from this concept are Meditron, Alcast etc. This idea was appreciated by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India and spread to other leading institutes of India such as IITs by the Government as a concept of Science and Technological Entrepreneurs Park (STEP). The first STEP was approved and located in BIT Mesra. The entrepreneurship development cell was founded in the year 2007 by students Amit Chaudhary and Ankit Jain with B.M. Karan as mentor to foster the spirit of entrepreneurship among students.[2][3][4][5] To add financial strength to this effort, BIT has set up SIDBI Center for Innovation and Incubation (SCII) by an arrangement with Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) to provide a limited period of time to new entrepreneurs, start up companies, and technology based organizations, to facilitate Research & Development operations in areas of interest with the faculty of the institute.[6] BIT became the very first technical University in India to establish an Overseas Extension Centre - at Bahrain, in the year 2000. It is one of the few universities in India to be accorded a supercomputer (PARAM 10000[7]) at the core of its ultramodern IT infrastructure.

The Institute along with its extension centres at present has more than 10,000 students enrolled for different Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes. It also has more than 150 registered students for the Ph.D. Programmes.

Lalpur Extension Center

The Institute first started a centre for Continuing Education or Technology Centre in 1976 at Lalpur in Ranchi, initially offering only part-time postgraduate M.E. courses for disciplines such as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Electronics Engineering. It was primarily aimed for the benefit of officers working in various Ranchi based public sector undertakings and private industries such as, MECON, SAIL, HEC, CIL, CMPDI, Shriram Ball-bearings Limited, Usha Martin Industries Limited, nationalized banks etc., who wished to upgrade their qualifications. Part-time M.E. degree courses were initially offered as evening courses, subsequently the MBA, MCA and DCA courses were also offered. The laboratory classes were conducted on Sundays and holidays at the main Mesra campus. This Centre is now referred to as the BIT Lalpur Extension Centre.

In 1997 the centre started the full time courses, B.Sc. Computer Science and B.Sc. Electronics courses and in 1998 the BCA course for girls only. The success and popularity of these courses led to extra shifts being added in 1999 and the courses being opened for boys also. In 1999, M.Sc. in Information Technology and M.Sc. in Electronics and Telecommunication courses for girls only and BBAcourse for girls and boys were introduced. Currently the Lalpur Extension Centre has over 1768 students on its rolls with 560 post graduate students.

Jaipur Extension Centre

The Birla Institute of Technology, Extension Centre, Jaipur was started in 1995 in the sprawling campus of the reputed Birla Institute of Scientific Research (BISR). The centre started by offering PG level programmes in computer science and computer applications. Since then the range of programmes as well as the facilities have expanded to offer a wide range of academic programmes both UG & PG level. There is no hostel facility at this institute and therefore one has to be prepared for PG / rented accommodation. The BIT Extension Center at Jaipur offers the following Full Time courses: Template:Multicol Postgraduate
