Mission & Vision Statement: Eminence through Excellence
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) traces its origin with the establishment of first IIT at Kharagpur immediately after independence in 1952. The first prime minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, termed IITs as the temple of modern technological learning created to address the need and urge of the nation. Accordingly, when the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961 was enacted by the Indian Parliament, the IITs were given the status of the Institute of National Importance.
Starting with setting up of IIT Kharagpur, a journey began and today we have 23 IITs in the country created to address the need of high quality technological education not only for the youth of India but also open for International students.
IIT Patna, commonly known as the second generation IIT, was established in 2008 with 3 B.Tech. programs namely Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering with an intake of 120. Since then the institute is growing continuously and currently there are 6 engineering departments (Chemical & Biochemical Engineering (CBE), Civil & Environmental (CEE), Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Electrical Engineering (EE), Metallurgical & Materials Engineering (MME), and Mechanical Engineering (ME)), 3 basic sciences departments (Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics), and Humanities & Social Science (HSS) department. These academic departments are actively working for quality teaching and research creating a place of its own in the academic arena nationally and internationally. This is evident from appearance of high-impact journal publication from IIT Patna, IPR creation, product development, promotion of Start-up ecosystem via incubation, collaboration with industry, R & D as well as reputed academic institutions worldwide.
The IITs in the country, having academic autonomy, are entrusted with the prime responsibility comprising: (a) quality teaching and research, (b) highly skilled human capacity building with core competency, (c) act as centers of technological innovation, (d) empowering society with knowledge creation and transfer for self-sustainability, and (e) academic integrity.
