In a short span, the National Institute of Science & Technology has succeeded in making an indelible mark on the engineering education community of Orissa. NIST is fast becoming the most preferred institute of top AIEEE and JEE rank holders.

Students of more than 13 states are studying in the Institute. This has been made possible by the relentless efforts put in by the faculty and staff of NIST in upholding the highest professional standards in education. We have to work together to ensure that NIST remains an exemplary island in the sea of academic mediocrity that threatens to obliterate India's rich educational past.
