INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (IIT)

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT’s) are a group of 16 autonomous engineering and technology-oriented institutes of higher education established and declared as Institutes of National Importance by the Parliament of India. Over the years IITs have created world class educational platforms dynamically sustained through internationally recognized research based on excellent infrastructural facilities with the aim of developing a skilled workforce to support the economic and social development of India.

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

These institutions help to prepare the students admitted for successful professional and social lives. Today, alumni of these institutions occupy key positions in industry and academia. They continue making huge impact in all sectors of society, both in India and abroad.

ISM admits undergraduate students from the top 0.5% rankers out of the 1.4 million candidates appearing for JEE Advanced Examination.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (NIT)

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru sought to develop India as a leader in science and technology. The then Government started fourteen RECs between 1959 and 1965, established one in 1967 and added two others between 1970 and 1990.

The National Institutes of Technology (NIT’s), is an engineering, science, technology and management school system in India comprising of thirty autonomous universities located one each major state/territory of India. Since their inception decades ago, all NITs were referred as Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) and were governed by their respective state governments. A parliamentary legislation in 2002 brought them under the direct purview of India’s federal government. In 2007, through another legislation, the Indian government declared these schools as Institutes of National Importance at par with the IITs.

NITs offer degree courses at bachelors, masters, and doctorate levels in various branches of engineering and technology. Each NIT takes 50 % of students from its home state and 50 % from the rest of India.
