Bharathidasan Institute of Technology (formerly known as School of Engineering and Technology) was established by Bharathidasan University in 1999 with a view of imparting quality education in the field of engineering. BIT was first located in the downtown Khajamalai Campus and was subsequently moved to the South Campus (Technology Campus) in 2001. In addition to the academic blocks the campus houses the Indoor Sports Complex and residential complex. Bharathidasan University operates shuttle services to the adjacent Main Campus.

The School was started initially with 4 branches of technology, viz., Biotechnology, Information Technology, Petrochemical Technology and Pharmaceutical Engineering & Technology. Subsequently a B.Tech level course in Automobile Technology was introduced in the academic year 2004-05 apart from Post Graduate programmes of M.Tech in Software Engineering and M.Pharm in Pharmaceutics, in the year 2005-06. An M.Tech programme in Energy Conservation and Management is also being offered for the past few years. The School has been given full academic autonomy from the year 2005-06.

Being a part of Bharathidasan University and its proximity to the main campus has proven advantageous to the Institute's development in particular in the field of Computer Science and Biotechnology. The institute also shares facilities and enjoys the support form the other departments of the university especially in basic sciences.
