Introduction of the University

National Institute of Science and Technology University is a pioneer institute in Research and Development (R&D) activities in the State of Odisha. Right from its inception in the year 1996, NIST has been involved in numerous R&D activities. NIST has received a huge amount fund (6.6 Crores) for Research Project from different Govt funding agency (SERB/ DST/NBHM/CSIR/UGC/DRDO/ISRO etc.) during last 5 years. The institute has set up modern laboratories and the supporting infrastructure for undergraduate and post graduate and Ph. D. students. A research orientated education at this Institute can enhance engineering science to development of new technology. NIST has successfully implemented Under Graduate Research program and student RAs and Summer Interns have done commendable research work. Recently NIST has been awarded the Energy Conservation Award - 2017 by the Govt. of Odisha and NIST Student Team has won the First Prize in the CADENCE design contest.

NIST along with collaborating institutions like IIT, Delhi, NEERI, Nagpur, CMET, Pune, University of Hyderabad, University of California, Michigan State University, Stanford University, and NJIT, USA have bagged the Intel DST-IUSF Award for the project, ‘Integrated low cost water sensor for real time river-water monitoring and decision-making” jointly funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India and Intel (Indo-US Science and Technology Forum). Research activities are the backbone of any good Institute and the activities lead to innovation and development of new technologies.

Artificial Intelligence

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrated into the work-life culture at NIST University. AI has been extensively used now at the University from content creation, AI chatbots, translation service, advertising, and marketing to social media branding. NIST University has private cloud infrastructure, hardware, and software tools in support of state-of-the-art laboratories for research and innovation in AI and ML. We are now working with multiple industries (e.g., www.saclit.in) collaboratively in this area to transform innovation into commercialization/productization. The key objective is to bring innovation in various focus areas to real-life products in collaboration with various industries. The areas of focus are:

As per the Odisha Gazette Notification, No 192, January 25, 2024 (issued by the Department of Science and Technology) the Biotechnology Policy of Odisha encourages the Center of Research Excellence (CRE) in Biotechnology in different regions of Odisha.Southern Odisha (specifically Gopalpur region) is the most suitable location to have CRE on Marine Biotechnology. At the guidance/suggestion from “Make in Odisha Conclave 2022”, the NIST and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER – Berhampur) have applied for a research grant for the Biotech CRE at Berhampur. The same may be supported by Govt. of Odisha for the realization of the envisioned Biotech Park in the State.
