About Bangalore Institute of Technology

Bangalore Institute of Technology was

established in the year 1979 in august

with the auspices of the Vokkaligara

Sangha. The vision of the institute has

been to establish and develop the

institute as a c entre of higher learning,

ever abreast with the expanding

horizon of knowledge in the field of

engineering and technology. The

institute offers courses in nine

disciplines and has been one of the top

five colleges under the Viswesvaraiah

Technological University. Bangalore

Institute of Technology is the most

sought after colleges from CET and COMED-K qualified students and its strength of 3000 odd students

speaks the same. It has well qualified faculty with vast experience in industry and research.

BIT is one of the pioneering institutes that provide career guidance and placement facilities to students.

Several companies have recruited BITians and it is a pride that the students of BIT are spread all over the

world holding important positions as engineers and technologists.

BIT has an active SAEBIT Collegiate club. Currently the club participates in three major SAE events. Effi-

Cycle, BAJA , FSAE.

Team Stratos 2010 won the “Best Design Report” and also came also came 2nd in BIAE University ATV

Challenge.

Team FIREhawks participated in Effi – Cycle 2011 and won the “Best Design Award”

The Collegiate clubs motto is “Adding Essence to Engineering” and strives in providing its members

extensive exposure in the field of automotive research.

A Note from the Principal

Education is primarily of two types: Formal and

Self-Taught. Formal wherein it focuses on mark

scoring and bookish knowledge while Self-Taught

is through experiences. As the principal of this

prestigious institution, it has been my never

dying endeavor to help students gain the rich

experience of self-learning; and channelize them

in the right direction.

The role of shaping the modern world that is being played by engineers can hardly be exaggerated. Hence, the ultimate of any distinguished technical educational institution should be to promote a multifaceted development of students.

The present day corporate recruiters not only seek engineers with diverse employ mix, but also excellent theoretical and practical talents embedded with well-developed soft skills.

We are one of the most developed countries in the world in the field of basic sciences and technology and are moving ahead into the field of education and technology. It is therefore necessary for us to work on some major projects on science and technology which have relevance to the nation’s need and will be a milestone in tomorrow’s advance technology.

SAE-BIT Collegiate Club has been actively participating and bringing fame to the institution through SAE events like BAJA, FSAE, Effi-Cycle etc. These competitions have enhanced the all-round development of an engineering student and made him competent to take on the challenges of life. It is a matter of honour and pride for the college to be hosting this year’s edition of the prestigious Virtual BAJA-2012.

I wish the best to all the participating teams and hope that they successfully cross the hurdle and qualify for the Final BAJA-2013 event.

Founded at the beginning of the 16th century, Bangalore is often referred to as the country 'Garden

City', due to its high concentration of parks and green spaces.
