National Institute of Science and Technology

Recognized by Dept. of Higher Education, Govt. of Odisha and affiliated to Berhampur University



 

The inception of the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) is two decades old. The institute started with the mission to create quality scientists, engineers, managers and entrepreneurs to pursue innovative research in science and Technology. Presently this is a premier institute which fosters the quality education among the young generation especially in southern Odisha. It started with the engineering courses and presently it is a fully fledged Department.  Currently, the College of Sciences has 30+ faculty members. All the faculties are Doctorate and Post Doctorate degree holders from various reputed and prestigious Institutes/Universities of India as well across the Globe. Up to 2016, the College of Sciences was fully dedicated for the skill development of undergraduate as well as post graduate engineering students. In the year 2017, NIST started the new chapter by introducing M.Sc in Physics,Chemistry and Mathematics with its young and energetic faculty members. As an integral part of the M.Sc program, B.Sc (Physics,Chemistry and Mathematics Honours) is started in 2018. The College of Sciences is well known for its excellence in teaching and research as well. Apart from the teaching, the faculty members actively engaged in research and guiding the Ph.D., M. Sc. students. As the consequence many faculties of our college of Sciences have quite a good number of publications in various journals of National and International reputations. Many faculties are doing the collaborator work with the members of other Institutes/Universities. Some faculties got the research project grant from different organizations of Government of India like SERB(DST), NBHM(DAE).

Laboratory Facility:
The college of Sciences  has a well established computer laboratory in which students are taught basic programming languages like Program in C, Fortran, MatLab and Mathematica etc. Along with these the students are encouraged to learn some fundamental computational techniques which is useful for research work.Also it has Microwave lab,Device Fabrication Lab,VLSI Design lab,Optoelectronics Lab,Computing Lab,NI LabViewlab.
