Engineering

At BIT Mesra, the Department of Remote Sensing was established in 1997 with an aim to meet the increasing demand for qualified manpower in this rapidly developing field. Application of Remote Sensing / Geoinformatics techniques using tools such as Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) in various activities including resources evaluation, environmental monitoring and land use/land cover mapping etc. , has grown considerably during the last few decades and RS data products are increasingly being used for plan formulation at all levels. An essential pre-requisite to partaking in these opportunities is the building of various indigenous capacities for the development and utilization of space Science and technology. Department of Remote Sensing is now a FIST-DST sponsored department and is also SAP (Special Assistance Programme) supported by UGC.

Since its inception in 1955, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at BIT Mesra has a wide reputation for the quality of teaching and research it offers. It has been awarded top grades for both teaching and research activities from independent and government bodies. The excellent laboratory facilities, modern computer clusters, systematically designed curriculum, and dedicated faculty members make this Department a dynamic place to study. Mechanical Engineering Graduates from BIT Mesra are sought after by many prestigious companies. There is also an excellent careers center on campus, which helps the students to get entry into multinational companies.
