Bhilai Institute of Technology

Bhilai Institute of Technology (BIT) was established in the year 1986 as the first Engineering College in Private Sector in the undivided State of Madhya Pradesh. Started in a very modest scale with four undergraduate courses in Engineering (B.E.) and an intake capacity of 180 students, it has now risen to the status of an institution of repute for Technical education and Management studies in the region with six disciplines of Engineering at undergraduate level and six post graduate courses including MBA and MCA, and an annual intake strength of 620.

The biggest leap towards modernity and development of the Chhattisgarh region was the establishment of Bhilai Steel Plant at Bhilai. This single step proved to be an important factor in the transformation of an agrarian society into a thriving industrial region. These important developments necessitated suitably trained personnel. With above in view, some organizations, industrialists, charitable institutions and philanthropic societies of the region took an initiative for establishing an engineering educational institution. For this a trust was formed and duly registered. The Government of erstwhile Madhya Pradesh accorded the permission to open a self supporting and self financing engineering institute and thus in July 1986, Bhilai Institute of Technology came into existence.
