I
am delighted that the editors of NIST E-news are publishing a special
edition covering the high points of 2010-11. Our greatest accomplishments
this year has been the fantastic progress of research and development in
NIST. The undergraduate research assistantship program is progressing well
and so are the sponsored projects of our faculty members. More than 35 referred
journal publications in this year are a satisfactory achievement. Similarly
“innovation” has been the buzz with students and faculty working jointly in
incubating new companies on the campus.
I was recently asked what an aspiring student should look for while choosing
a college for a career. My answer is “First: look at the Institute’s Promoters,
their Education, Vision, Plans, Second: Faculty, their qualifications, research,
grants, achievements, Third: Placement Track Record especially the quality
of Placements, Fourth: Student Academic Performance Track Record,
Student Activities, Sports & Extra-Curricular, Fifth: Infrastructure,
Ambience & Discipline, and Finally, Choose the Best College - Branch is
immaterial.
I want all top rankers of AIEEE and Orissa JEE to seriously consider NIST as
their choice for an engineering or management career. As we have promised,
we shall continue to pursue our goal of providing the students the highest in
quality education. As the saying goes the finest steel goes through the hottest
furnace, so shall be NIST – the hottest furnace of education.
The finest steel goes
through the hottest
furnace, so shall be
NIST – the hottest
furnace of education.

With Best Wishes,
T
he campus recruitment drive for the graduating batch of 2011 conducted in the month
of January was one of the most successful ones at NIST. The companies that visited
the campus were Cap Gemini, Infosys Technologies, HCL Technologies, Mahindra
Satyam, Wipro Technologies, Wipro VLSI, Acumen Consultancy Services, Sankalp
Semiconductor, TVS Motor Company, Gennum Technologies, L&T Integrated Engineering
Services, Infotech Enterprises, Mphasis. The total B.Tech. and MCA placement till date is
557. In addition, 90 job offers to NIST Business School students also sets a benchmark placement record.
Congratulations to all those who have been selected. Continue to keep your focus in the academics as this area is
equally important. Campus recruitment was not as stringent as it used to be for the previous batches because the
requirements are high and the companies are in a mood to hire as many candidates as possible. Therefore the job
market is bright with many opportunities. If the trend continues in the same way, the next batch also will be lucky!
However, there can be no easy approach for the preparations for the selection process for these companies. All the
students must put in the maximum efforts for the pre placement training especially in the area of verbal skills and
communication skills. At NIST there are lots of opportunities to develop and hone talents and personalities in
different ways. Instead of wasting time students must utilize it to the fullest and make ‘Learning’ – a continuous
process. At regular intervals they must evaluate themselves – progress towards your goals, both short and long
term. Inviting criticism from friends, teachers and parents would help them to trace their own drawbacks. Analyzing
their own strengths and weaknesses would help them to improve further. Developing leadership skills and most
importantly, improving communication skills is always paramount. Communication skills are very important for
career advancement and professional achievements.

“
All’s Well that Ends Well”, in other words, an enterprise is justified so long as it turns out well in the
end. With the wrapping up of the accomplishments and landmarks of the year, be it, academics, research,
trainings and workshops, sports and cultural activities, the Campus Journalism takes the privilege of
publishing one more ‘Year round-up’ for the readers. With innumerable reasons to celebrate the success story,
the magazine awaits the arrival of new buds, bringing in new hopes and aspirations, and add few more feathers
into its cap.NIST e_news welcomes all the aspiring fresher into the abode of Learning and Wisdom.

The National Institute of Science & Technology (NIST) was established in the year 1996 by a group of academicians
educated in the top Institutes of India & abroad with the avowed mission to “create engineering minds capable of mastering
the global challenges of tomorrow’s technology”. The Institute is approved by the AICTE (under MHRD, Govt of India) and
is affiliated to Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Odisha. The Chairman of the Institute, Shri Surendra
Mudali had a dream to build a world class institution in his home state of Odisha, more specifically in an educationally
challenged location of South Orissa. In the year 1996, NIST was the first Engineering College of the entire South Odisha.
Today NIST is a leading Institute within top 100 engineering colleges of India and a leading icon in technical education in
Eastern India. The founder Director, Prof Sangram Mudali is B.Tech from IIT Kanpur (1985) & MS from Univ. of Houston,
USA (1987). He & his wife Mrs. Geetika Mudali, Placement Director (B.Tech-Osmania University, MS-NJIT, USA) left
USA to pioneer a world class institute in their home state of Odisha. Within a short span of 14 years, it has produced 4
BOYSCAST faculty scholars who have been funded by Government of India to pursue postgraduate research in the top
institutes in USA and Germany. NIST has produced 3 FullBright Scholars. Three of its faculty has won the Samant
Chandrasekhar Young Scientist Award given by the Government of Orissa. Three faculties have been awarded the
URSI Young Scientist Award. Currently 2 AICTE funded Emeritus Professors are working in NIST. More than 20 Post
doctorate scholarships have been awarded to the Institute faculty. The faculties of the Institute are alumni of IIT’s, IISc,
ISI, Jadavpur Univ., etc. The faculties of the Institute have published more than 150 journal papers in refereed journals
and are authors of about 15 books published by reputed publishing houses. The Institute also has its own publishing
house “NIST Press”. The Institute has received a number of grants, projects, special funding, travel funding, SDPs, FIST
grant, scholarships, etc., from the DST, CSIR, AICTE, IT companies, etc. In the year 2010-11, NIST has received about
Rs. 50 Lacs funding from AICTE, DST, CSIR. TIFAC (Govt. of India), IBM and CADENCE have already established
