About the Department:

The Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities provides an encouraging environment to clear the fundamental concepts of problem solving ability of students so that they become technocrats of caliber. The Dept. of Basic Sciences and Humanities plays a unique and distinctive role in an Institute where the ethos of science and Technology prevails. The aim of the department is to provide high quality education in the field of applied sciences and humanities for the undergraduate students in various engineering courses. The department deals with the subjects namely, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English.

The Dept. of Basic Sciences and Humanities is an essential part of Vivekananda Institute of Technology from the year of its establishment and is backed by a team of qualified and experienced faculty members and supporting staff for its smooth and efficient functioning by imparting quality education and training to the students.

At present, the academic curriculum involves B.Tech. Course in which we have five branches like Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

  • Generate industry-institute synergy for shaping technical education to meet the requirement of industry. Undergraduate-curriculum is broad based.
  • Science based engineering education, which enables students to use basic sciences into engineering practice/programs.
  • Involves continuous evaluation to avoid rote learning and semester end examinations.
  • The Department has active collaborations with renowned Institutes.
  • Interactive sessions of the students with researchers, arranged from the well known institutes and organization.
  • In labs and classrooms, students draw on the expertise and knowledge of our able faculty, integrating practical, hands-on research experience with challenging and interesting course-work.
  • The Department is having sufficient classrooms and sophisticated laboratories, all of which are equipped with audio-visual aids. The department is equipped with uninterrupted power supply and internet connectivity. The department also has a well stocked library of its own.
  • Moreover, for proper coordination among the faculties, guest teachers and instructors, other staff and the students a healthy environment has been created in the department. The department is associated with the organization of a number of workshops, celebrations, popular talks, training programmes etc.
