The institute is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee this year. On this momentous occasion I congratulate the faculty, staff, students, alumni and all other stakeholders of the institute. As the institute completes 60 glorious years in the service of technical education, it is a time to rejoice and celebrate, and also to remember and acknowledge the contribution of all those who have been instrumental in bringing the institute to this level.

After the inaugural ceremony of the ‘Diamond Jubilee Celebrations’ on 12^th November 2017 a variety of events & activities will be conducted throughout the year to commemorate the 60^th Diamond Year.

I also congratulate the students, faculty & staff members, alumni and all other stakeholders for getting autonomy from the University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi for a period of six years, starting July 2017. It followed by accreditation by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) for a period of five years w.e.f 12/9/2017. This feat could not have been achieved without the whole hearted support of all. This is only the beginning, as upholding this accreditation status requires sincere and continual efforts for maintaining the various quality metrics and parameters.

The institute successfully completed the Technical Education Quality Improvement programme (TEQIP-Phase II) of MHRD and received ‘A’ grade in six of the seven performance criterions. Further, the institute is now on board TEQIP-III and is all set to begin working on the three year development plan which is designed to improve the infrastructure, laboratories, faculty & staff skills, research and above all placements. The twinning agreement has also been signed with the Delhi Technological University (DTU), Delhi for research, academic and other collaborations.

During this 60 year long phenomenal journey, MITS has never looked back and has constantly strived to achieve new heights. With the encouragement and support from our management, the institute has emerged as a leading technical institution of the region. Students too have lived up to the expectations of their teachers, continuously bagging good ranks in national competitive examinations like GATE, CAT etc. The MITS family has persistently tried to maintain very high academic standards, superior placements, strict discipline and an excellent work culture.

A sense of social responsibility is being inculcated in our students through various activities of the National Cadet Core (NCC) and National Service Scheme (NSS). Students are encouraged to teach and help underprivileged children from nearby areas. To increase awareness on health issues free or subsidized medical camps, blood donation camps, village adoption etc are routinely organized. 

To channelize the abundant potential and extraordinary energy that is available in 4500 plus students on our campus, we have recently started 60 new institute level clubs in wide areas ranging from technology, art, music, dance, meditation, yoga, health, sports, environment, social awareness etc. The idea is to groom and train the students to face the world outside the campus through various extra and co-curricular activities which help in building their leadership and organizational skills and also mould them to be team players.

Forces of change are always active in the universe, adapting to these new situations,  adjusting in the new environment and matching up our efforts with the changing needs of the time are key to the existence of an institute.

Success comes only through goals; there is no achievement without goals. We all must set our individual goals first and then go all out in pursuit of those goals, single minded, with complete focus, come hell or high water. 

On the eve of the Diamond Year, the faculty, staff and students must come together and pledge that we will leave no stone unturned for achieving the vision and mission of the institute such that the institute receives even greater accolades.
