Preface
It is indeed a privilege for me to present the Director’s report for the academic year 2008-09. The history of the institution dates back to 1886 when a pleader survey centre was established at this campus by British Government. The pleader survey centre was updated as Bihar School of Engineering in 1900 and thereafter in 1924, the institution appeared on the scene of Technical Education of India as Bihar College of Engineering. The college became one of the important technical Education Organizations in India and upto 1947 when India gained independence, it was one of the most important college in British Dominion. The appointment of Principal, teachers and even admission of students in those days were on global basis and even today the institution has recognition among all the common wealth countries. After independence the college was entrusted with the responsibility of providing Engineering education to meet the local, regional and national requirements due to expansion of industries, trade and commerce in free India. During this period the institution was manned and managed by Patna University and funded by state Government. Due to lack of fund and proper management facilities, the institutional growth suffered to some extent, but when Govt. of India realised its historical importance, erstwhile Bihar College of Engineering Patna was taken over by Central Government as a fully funded institution and rechristened as National Institute of Technology Patna. With the notification of MHRD, Govt. of India, the institution is working as such from 28.01.2004.
Immediately, after the take over on 28.01.2004, the management and Administration was under the umbrella of NIT Patna. The first step that NIT Patna took was to tone up the academics and the existing infrastructure facilities. The following achievements of the institution during this academic year are worth mentioning.
Academic Activities:
Semester system has been introduced from 2007 batch The institute has been accorded with autonomous status and it has been functioning quite effectively.The institute could manage to publish result in scheduled time. Implementation of regular class test, assignment ,tutorials etc has aroused deep interest torwards learning among students.
Placement of students:
In erstwhile Bihar College of Engineering the placement of students was very poor, but due to the impact of regular session and close monitoring of classes, the institute could achieve a remarkable jump in the placement of students in various leading industries and organizations of the country. The students who have completed their curriculum this year have been selected by various leading organizations and industries of the country.
Admission of students:
Till 2003, in erstwhile Bihar College of Engineering, the admission of students was done through BCECE, a state Govt. Agency. Right from session 2004, the admission at NIT Patna is being done through AIEEE.
Since 2005, NIT Patna is running undergraduate courses in 7 discipline and postgraduate courses in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical subjects in a total of 7 specializations. From 2007 session the total undergraduate sanctioned intake is 400 and postgraduate sanctioned intake is 126. All postgraduate students are admitted with GATE score and are getting scholarships from AICTE.
Appointments of teachers:
Initially MHRD, Govt. of India sanctioned 100 posts of teaching staff to NIT Patna and considering 57 existing teachers, the remaining posts were advertised for filling the vacant posts. The posts were advertised in the month of August,2006. The candidates were interviewed in the month of December,2007 and the offer letter to the selected candidates were sent in the month of March,2008,after approval of BOG of the institute .We succeeded in offering appointments to 12 persons.The remaining posts could not be filled as suitable candidates were not available .During this period the sanctioned post of teaching staff has been increased from 100 to 140. Posts were again advertised in December2009 to fill up vacent posts.The process is in progress. The retired teachers help has to be continued for the benefit of students in certain specialised subjects. Total number of teachers is 62 out of which about 30 teachers have Ph. D. qualification whereas the rest have M. Tech. qualification.& B.Tech. qualification.

NIT Patna administration encouraged the involvement of teachers for research and consultancy. During the last year various departments have undertaken consultancy and testing work for various industries & Govt. Departments.
Extra curricular activities:
