History of the Institute:
M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology was started in 1962 by the late Dr. M.S. Ramaiah,
our Founder Chairman who was a renowned visionary, philanthropist, and a pioneer in
creating several landmark infrastructure projects in India. Noticing the shortage of
talented engineering professionals required to build a modern India, Dr. M.S. Ramaiah
envisioned MSRIT as an institute of excellence imparting quality and affordable
education. Part of Gokula Education Foundation, MSRIT has grown over the years with
significant contributions from various professionals in different capacities, ably led by
Dr. M.S. Ramaiah himself, whose personal commitment has seen the institution through
its formative years. Today, MSRIT stands tall as one of India’s finest names in
Engineering Education and has produced around 35,000 engineering professionals who
occupy responsible positions across the globe.
History of Department:
The department was established in the year 1979 as Industrial & Production engineering
and renamed as Industrial Engineering & Management in the year 1992 with an intake of
60 students and M.Tech program commenced in the year 2012. The department has been
recognized as R&D center by VTU. The department has well modernized laboratories
namely Industrial & Quality Engineering lab, Computer Lab and Metrology &
Mechanical Measurement lab. The department highly qualified, motivated and result
oriented faculty members. All the faculties are involved in research and technical paper
publications in reputed technical journals, conferences across the world. The department
was accredited by the NBA in 2001, 2004 & reaccredited in 2010. It has consistently
bagged university ranks in Bangalore University & VTU. It has set a unique record of
achieving 1st rank eleven times. The department has successfully conducted seminars &
workshops for academicians as well as Industry personnel.
