The Indian government also realized that there is going to be a big demand for well qualified and highly competent technical personnel in our nation as well as in other advanced countries of the world. With this scenario in mind, we decided to set up an engineering college which could offer exceptional education facilities in engineering that are comparable to those offered by world class colleges. There were a large number of private engineering colleges in South India, but very few in northern part of India. Also, the standard of education as well as the infrastructure, in many of these institutions, was not up to the mark. We ensured that the students in Kanpur Institute of Technology and Kanpur Institute of Technology & Pharmacy receive the highest quality of education and training in a congenial atmosphere. We earnestly hope that the aspirants of Engineering, Computer Application, Business Administration and Pharmacy will find tremendous learning opportunities here and after completing graduation would become leaders in their respective fields. • 10 • www.kit.ac.in President’s Message Neena Verma M.Sc. B.Ed. Dip. in Interior Designing ‘And miles to go before I sleep……’ these famous words by Robert Frost epitomize the power of human mind and determination. It is this philosophy that manifests itself in the numerous milestones which Kanpur Institute of Technology has achieved during its journey through time. We are led by a strong motivation for growth & development and becoming better today than what we were yesterday is what guides us. It makes us proud to see our alumni charting their way successfully in a highly competitive world of today. Though we have a few feathers in our cap we are careful enough not let contentment creep into our minds. As such we are pleased to introduce a new course in pharmacy- education. We are committed to continuously upgrading the knowledge and skills of our faculty through regular faculty development programmes so that they can prepare our students to face global challenges in future. This year will also witness our renewed efforts in maintaining excellent training and placements record of our students. Today, the world is facing a tough a time but as the dictum goes “kite rises against the wind”, so will KIT reach new horizons through the concerted efforts of our dedicated faculty & staff and exemplary performance of our students, thereby complementing the vision of its founders. www.kit.ac.in • 11 • Secretary’s Message Anil Kr. Agarwal B. Tech (IIT-K) All progressive organizations are an outcome of the dreams, ideas and creativity of its leaders. A group of engineers from IITs got together and began the most ambitious programme of philanthropy. We established Indus Technical Education Society, a non-profit organization, and undertook the bold venture of giving service to society through nongovernment education system. Under the aegis of this society, Kanpur Institute of Technology was born in the year 2004. It is fully approved by the state and central government agencies. KIT has now evolved as a symbol of quality education dedicated to nurture the talents and aspirations of the bright youth of nation. With this spirit as the backdrop, KANPUR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (KIT), under the banner of ITES educational institutions has matured as a nationally reputed hub of technical education in Kanpur. Our students have made us proud with their excellent academic performance and zeal to learn. I am grateful to the faculty, which ranks amongst the best, for synergising so brilliantly with our students. I wish them success in their future endeavours. Our highly qualified faculty and state-of-the-art campus with well planned buildings, labs and workshops etc. have laid a sound foundation for imparting quality technical education to young minds. • 12 • www.kit.ac.in To provide overall development to the students, the institute has established a Training Department and a Placement & Corporate Relations Cell. I hope that quality training through specialized personnel from corporate world and the dedicated faculty at our institute will result in good number of students getting placed in renowned corporations. A well focused value-added training in soft-skills will develop confidence in our students, making them better suited for the corporate world. The academic ambience and the training modules followed by KIT have placed it amongst the top technical institutions affiliated to U.P.TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY. On behalf of the entire KIT family, I welcome and thank you for showing your faith in us to make your career in Engineering, Computer Application, Business Administration and Pharmacy. We assure you that you will be provided with effective technical training through our state-of-the-art infrastructure and experienced faculty which will enable you to become top technocrats & above all, better human beings. We at KIT work as a family unit and I most sincerely welcome you to our family and hope that your stay with us will be fruitful and memorable. Remember, you have to perform your best in all your endeavours and be guided by the words of Thomas Jefferson, “I find that the harder I work the more luck I seem to have.” Treasurer’s Message Vipul Jain B. Tech (IIT-D), MBA (USA) The journey which began in 2004 with the start of Kanpur Institute of Technology is now completing ten years. During the course of the last ten years, the institution came to be known as KIT Group of Institutions with the start of Kashi Institute of Pharmacy. The vision of the promoters continues to be the establishment of the world class institution that is academically one of the best in the northern region. KIT has been able to establish certain major landmarks. Firstly, the acceptance of Kanpur as an education hub besides the Big Three, the city is now home to over twenty-five engineering colleges. Secondly, the focus on training and placement has made the institute a leader in offering highly diverse training programmes, both on and off campus, all year round. This has culminated in a large number of reputable companies coming for on-campus recruitment, resulting in high placements record. Thirdly, KIT concentrates on excellence by not expanding into another institution, thus ensuring that our focus is on quality rather than quantity! The years ahead will see KIT Group of Institutions consolidating and improving its standing in academic circles. The focus on improved infrastructure, better faculty and better results will continue, and hopefully the vision of the promoters will become a reality in the near future. Education is the need of the nation, and the number of colleges coming up every year ensures that opportunities for higher education keep on increasing. However, the dearth of quality institutions is still a reality. Despite UP TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY becoming one of the largest in the country, it is trying valiantly to cope with the problems which come with mushrooming growth. Parents and students still have immense faith in government colleges, making them their first choice despite the absence of key infrastructure. And it is the very excellence of the student base which works in their favour. However, private institutions have also been differentiated by older and newer institutes; the preference of students is still towards older private institutes. So, we have had to face the reality that a vision takes years in taking shape, and thus involves the continuous efforts of the promoters in realizing the vision. www.kit.ac.in • 13 • Director’s Message Dr. Nirbhay Singh B.Tech(IIT, BHU), M.Tech & Ph.D.(IIT,K) Progress of a country depends on development in various areas such as economic, infrastructure, science and technology, research, education etc. All these developments are primarily related to literacy rate of the country. Literacy rate may definitely be enhanced by institutions imparting world class education with supporting facilities. With this view, Kanpur Institute of Technology (KIT) was conceived in the year 2004 by a group of engineers from Indian Institute Of Technology in order to provide world class education in various academic fields. The institute was established with two important goals. Our first goal, was to groom young minds into highly qualified globally competent technical personnel and our second goal, was to establish in Northern India, an institute with modern infrastructure and advanced education system as there were very few private engineering colleges in Northern India before 2004 that had good infrastructure and provided standard education. KIT imparts education in Engineering courses, Computer Application, Pharmacy and Business Management. Over the years, the institute has established itself as one of the top engineering institutes of Gautam Buddha Technical University (GBTU) in northern India by winning many laurels with the help of untiring efforts of dedicated and highly qualified management and faculty members. I take this opportunity to congratulate them for their endeavour. I am proud of the faculty members and students of this institute for such exemplary performances. I am sure that the institute will perform even better in the future. The quality education to the students is being provided by the institute with the help of highly qualified faculty from reputed institutions/universities and the state-ofart infrastructure with well-equipped laboratories and workshops. The laboratories and workshops have been equipped with latest instruments and machines in order to provide up-to-date knowledge to the students. The institute not only provides education to its students but it also takes care of their placements. For this, necessary training is given to the students in their respective disciplines so that they can face any challenges in their career. The Training Department and the Placement & Corporate Relations Cell take care of this and many students have been benefited from their training and guidance. An appreciable percentage of students have been placed with renowned industries and corporate houses. In spite of all the modern infrastructural facilities which the institute already has, we are working hard to add latest infrastructural facilities which are available for installation for the benefit of our students so that they are at par with any other national or international institution. I invite you to join our KIT family if you desire to have quality and standard education in various disciplines. I hope that your stay with us will be quite memorable and fruitful. • 14 • www.kit.ac.in Dean’s Message Dr. Brajesh Varshney B.Sc.( engg. ) Mechanical,M.Tech, Ph.D. Dean, Academics Academics is the core and essence of any educational institute.
