[edit] The Institute
Bhilai Institute of Technology (BIT) (Hindi: भिलाई प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान - दुर्ग) [Seth Balkrishna memorial] was established in the year 1986 as the first Engineering College in Private Sector in the undivided State of Madhya Pradesh. Started at 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 seven disciplines of Engineering at the undergraduate level and six post graduate courses including MBA and MCA, and an annual intake strength of 780.
The Institute is managed by a Board of Trustees headed by the Managing Trustee. The Trust comprises 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 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.
One of the premier engineering institutes of India, Bhilai Institute of Technology - Durg is known to produce quality engineers. Updated version of Quality Management System ISO 9001:2000 is installed in the Institute by the International Certifying Authority M/s KVQA of Norway.Over the years BIT has become eye candy of recruiters across India.

[edit] History
Seth Balkrishan was a great philanthropist and a paragon of human virtues. His contribution to the field of education, sports, social uplift and the spiritual need of the community are legendary in Bhilai and indeed in the region. His enlightened humanity is beacon of hope in these difficult years when we as people are experiencing the pains of moving towards a real national identity, a cultural and an emotional integration, his example may inspire the faculty and the future graduates of the BHILAI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY to serve the industries and people of India to best of their abilities.
The biggest leap towards modernity and development of the Chhattisgarh region was the establishment of Bhilai Steel Plant at Bhilai. This single step proved to be an important factor in the transformation of an agrarian society into a thriving industrial region. These important developments necessitated suitably trained personnel. With above in view, some organizations, industrialists, charitable institutions and philanthropic societies of the region took an initiative for establishing an engineering educational institution. For this a trust was formed and duly registered. The Government of erstwhile Madhya Pradesh accorded the permission to open a self supporting and self financing engineering institute and thus in July 1986, Bhilai Institute of Technology came into existence.
