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.
About the Department:
The Department of Information Science and Engineering (ISE) was established in the year
1992 with an objective of producing high-quality professionals to meet the demands of the
emerging field of Information Science and Engineering. The department started with UG
programme with an annual sanctioned intake of 30 students and the intake was enhanced to
60 seats in the year 1991, to 90 seats in the year 2001 and then to 120 seats in the year
2008. The department started M.Tech in Software Engineering in the year 2004. The
department has been recognized as R&D center by VTU. The department has well equipped
laboratories. Some of the laboratories have also been set up in collaboration with industries
such as Intel, Apple, Honeywell, EMC2, Nokia Siemens and IBM. The department has highly
qualified and motivated faculty members. All faculty are involved in research and technical
paper publications in reputed technical journals, conferences across the world. The
department has been accredited by the NBA in 2001, 2004 & reaccredited in 2010. The
department has successfully conducted seminars & workshops for students and academicians
in the emerging technology.
