[edit] The Institute
Bhilai Institute of Technology (BIT) (Hindi: भिलाई प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान - दुर्ग) was established in the year 1986 as the first Engineering College in Private Sector in the undivided State of Madhya Pradesh. Started in a very modest scale with four undergraduate courses in Engineering (B.E.) and an
intake capacity of 180 students, it has now risen to the status of an institution of repute for Technical education and Management studies in the region with six disciplines of Engineering at undergraduate level and six post graduate courses including MBA and MCA, and an annual intake strength of 620.
The Institute is managed by a Board of Trustees headed by the Managing Trustee. The Trust comprises of leading duly constituted Governing Body consisting of the representatives of the Trust, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), State Government and Affiliating University. industrialists, senior bureaucrats, management experts, peoples’ representatives, and notable social workers.
All Courses offered by the Institute are approved by AICTE and affiliated to Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur.The institute is now affiliated to Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University (CSVTU).
BIT is an Institutional member of Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), Institution of Engineers(India)(IEI), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Institute of Steel Development and Growth (INSDAG), National HRD Network and American Information Resource Centre, Mumbai.
Updated version of Quality Management System ISO 9001:2000 is installed in the Institute by the International Certifying Authority M/s KVQA of Norway.
One of the premier engineering institutes of India, Bhilai Institute of Technology - Durg is known to produce quality engineers and over the years has become eye candy of recruiters across India.
[edit] Location
BIT-Durg is located at the threshold of Durg city beside the NH-6 or Grand Eastern Highway aka GE road in Chhattisgarh state, India.The whole establishment is a 0.28 km²(70 acres) spread, in the famous Bhilai House opposite to the Circuit house.Its proximity to Durg bus depot and Durg railway station facilitates fast commutation.Besides, it is connected to each and every corner of Bhilai-Durg agglomeration through various means of transportation such as mini buses, Minidors, Tempos, Auto-Rickshaws etc.The aura of this institute has made it a landmark in itself.
[edit] Campus
The campus of the institute is a treat to ones eyes. The institute has 6 blocks :
- Administrative block

[edit] BITiansjobgroup
This is an e-group on yahoogroups.It was founded on August 11, 2004 by alumini of BIT-Durg.The group is constituted of alumni of the institution and its students and professors.The aim of the group is to convene students,professor,alumni and HRs of different companies to catalyze the recruitment and knowledge exchange process among students and experts from various areas of engineering and technology.The groups has brought a turn around in the recruitment process of the institution by creating a web of communication between HRs of different companies and training and placement cell of BIT-Durg.
[edit] The Alumni Portal
BIT Alumni Portal is a platform provided to the professors, students and pass-outs of BIT to interact with each other in any way they like.It is designed by the alumni of BIT and is a completely non-official site aimed to have both trivial and serious interactions.The site is quite a buzz among the students, alumni and professors of the institute.Another forum of similar kind is Student's forum but it is slightly formal in nature.
