Empowering Entrepreneurs & Industry - Ready Graduates
NMIT recognizes the importance of fostering entrepreneurship and leadership skills in its students. Collaborating with the National Entrepreneurship Network, the institution equips budding leaders with the knowledge and resources to bring their innovative startup ideas to fruition. From developing a multi-lingual computer keyboard to transforming petrol scooters into eco-friendly vehicles, NMIT empowers students to become job creators rather than job seekers. By providing an industry-driven curriculum and state-of-the-art facilities, NMIT ensures that students are fully prepared to tackle real-world challenges.
“NMIT values the crucial role of faculty members and prioritizes their continuous development. We support faculty members in pursuing higher studies with full salaries and facilitate their participation in esteemed institutions like IITs and NITs through the “Train the Trainer Programme.” Financial assistance is provided for conference presentations, keeping them updated with the latest technological advancements,” signifies, Dr. H C Nagaraj.
Cutting-Edge Infrastructure In Place
NMIT boasts modern infrastructure for hands-on training and research. Equipped with cutting-edge tools such as wind tunnels, flight simulators, 3D printing technology and a 200-tonne loading frame, students have access to state-of-the-art facilities. Collaborations with organizations like the Additive Manufacturing Society of India and Toyota’s research lab further enhance practical learning experiences. Its commitment is exemplified by the upcoming addition of a Scanning Electron Microscope.
“NMIT continually strives to enhance education through innovation. We aim to seek accreditation for our PG programs and increase the number of doctorate-holding faculty members. Smart boards in classrooms and curriculum upgrades inspired by premier institutions like IITs, IISc, and NITs are part of our modernization efforts. Our long-term goals include achieving a Grade ++ grade from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council, wherein, we are between the position of 151-200 in the National Institutional Ranking Framework, we are in 101 to 150 position for Innovation in National Institutional Ranking Framework, and establishing our own university,” concludes Dr. H C Nagaraj.
