From walking in as a fresher with no direction and walking out at the end of the 4th year with a job
in hand
is probably the best transformation a person can get. The foundation of NIST is the ethics that it
follows
as an institution. The first and foremost attraction of NIST is the discipline that one can feel all
across
the campus. The rules and regulations setup by NIST are followed by everyone associated with the
institute
in every possible way. The ambience across NIST makes it a quiet and peaceful place to study and the
greenery all around the campus just adds to the sight. Finally the important aspect which any
student looks
forward to the ample opportunity that NIST offers. For campus recruitment drives, some of the big
industries
of our country come to hire students from NIST. These industries include names like, Infosys, Wipro,
Trinity
India, Sankalp semiconductors, Apptus and many more.
To infer the whole context, NIST has everything to offer that a student looks for in an institute.
The only
thing that NIST requires in its student is the zeal to work hard.
NIST is committed to providing a holistic academic environment that fosters excellence and
industry readiness. With 100-minute interactive classes and well-equipped labs, students receive
in-depth subject knowledge and hands-on experience, making learning engaging and stress-free.
The institute ensures students have access to comprehensive study materials, subject books, and
two extensive libraries, helping them prepare effectively for examinations. Internal exams
follow the university pattern, enhancing students’ confidence for end-semester assessments.
Beyond academics, NIST encourages co-curricular activities through Teacher’s and Research
Assistantships, offering students opportunities to assist faculty, engage in research, and earn
incentives. These initiatives not only strengthen students’ academic foundation but also inspire
others to strive for excellence. Recognized as a benchmark research institution in Eastern
India, NIST collaborates with prestigious global universities and industries in fields like
nanosciences, semiconductor technology, and renewable energy, reinforcing its commitment to
innovation.
The institute boasts state-of-the-art laboratories, modern computing facilities, high-speed
internet with 1 Gbps leased line connectivity, and reliable power backup. Collaboration with IIT
Kharagpur for the MHRD Virtual Laboratory project further enhances students’ practical learning
experience.
With a strong emphasis on research, industry collaboration, and hands-on training, NIST ensures
its degrees remain relevant to the evolving demands of the professional world. By integrating
theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, NIST prepares students to become skilled
engineers and researchers, making it a premier institution dedicated to academic excellence,
research innovation, and professional development.
NIST Counselling Service provides a blissful and pragmatic service to the
young minds which nourishes them to adapt to the circumambience of the
institution. Counselling service consists of Student Counselor, faculty
advisor and student guides who try to ensure happiness with every
student's life to provide a safe and secure environment within the
institution.
Personal Counselling is a process of self-discovery and growth.
We provide personal Counselling to the students to increase
self-confidence, ameliorate relationships, solve problems,
achieve educational goals and make good decisions for physical,
emotional, intellectual and spiritual well-being. We also
provide individual and group Counselling for personal concerns
where students encounter relationship difficulties (e.g.,
friends, roommate and family), depression, anxiety, stress,
dealing with change, fear of failure, career uncertainty,
frustration and coping with feelings like loneliness, sadness,
shame, anger, and guilt.
The university provides comprehensive 24-hour medical services through a well-equipped
dispensary located on campus. Staffed by experienced healthcare professionals, the facility
ensures prompt medical assistance at any time, day or night. The dispensary is equipped to
handle routine health concerns as well as emergencies, with services such as general
consultations, basic diagnostic tests, and first aid readily available. In addition, the
dispensary is supported by a fully functional ambulance service for swift transportation in
critical situations, ensuring that students and staff receive timely care.
Regular health check-ups, vaccination drives, and wellness programs are also organized to
promote a healthy campus environment. With a focus on accessibility and care, the on-campus
medical facility is a vital support system, ensuring the well-being and safety of the university
community.
The university is equipped with a dedicated ambulance service to ensure the safety and
well-being of its community, especially during emergencies. With two fully functional ambulances
available 24/7, the campus is prepared to handle urgent medical situations promptly and
efficiently. Each ambulance is staffed by trained drivers who work on a shift basis, ensuring
round-the-clock availability. The vehicles are equipped with essential medical supplies and are
ready to transport patients to nearby hospitals or advanced care centers if required.
This reliable service underscores the university's commitment to prioritizing the health and
safety of its students, faculty, and staff, offering peace of mind and rapid response during
critical times.
NIST offers a robust transport system to ensure seamless connectivity for students and staff.
With a fleet of 18 well-maintained buses, 6 Cars and a dedicated team of approximately 50
transport staff, the service is designed to provide safe, reliable, and convenient travel
options. The transport services cover key areas, including Berhampur, Gopalpur, Chikiti and
other nearby localities. Buses operate round the clock and at regular intervals, accommodating
academic schedules, extracurricular activities, and personal commuting needs.
Additionally, the university transport department ensures punctuality and safety, with
experienced drivers and support staff overseeing operations. Regular maintenance and safety
checks are conducted to uphold high standards of service. This facility underscores the
university's commitment to fostering a connected and accessible campus environment.
In view of the many research projects available with faculty, we invite students of only 3rd year or 4th year B.Tech or final year MCA or final year MBA/PGDM to discuss with their faculty guides on Research Projects. NIST Research Committee funds a scheme for employing a small number of our own students as research assistants.

extra-curricular
activities. The college organizes various inter-college competitions. Cultural events are held
during
college festivals. The NIST-ISTE chapter holds a three-day All-India event called "SANKALP" each
year
comprising more than 25 technical and cultural programs.
A special event called "Waves", held every year, highlights the cultural talent of our incoming
batch.
"Waves" is a smash-hit with students. It is replete with dances, debates, skits, mono-acting,
just-a-minute sessions, painting, cartooning, tattoo-making, dumb charades, antakshari,
rapid-fire quiz
and multi-cultural fashion parade. Students also put up their own food and games stalls.
"Waves",
therefore, is total fun. Each hostel also organizes its own extra-curricular activities.
