(A quarterly Newsletter of NIT Manipur)
June, 2022
National Institute of Technology Manipur, India a centrally funded technical institution had been set up to impart quality technical education at various levels of higher learning. It is one of the ten new NITs established and developed as “Institute of National Importance” by an act of Parliament in 2007. As one of the National Institute of Technology (NIT), the Institute has the responsibility of providing high quality education in Engineering and Technology, and Sciences to produce competent technical and scientific manpower as per global standard. The Institute offers Bachelor of Technology, Master of Technology, Master of Science and PhD programmes in several disciplines of Engineering and Technology, Sciences and Humanities and Social Science.
I am happy to present the first edition of the Institute newsletter ‘Reportage The current edition of the newsletter is a significant and an important milestone for the institute. Despite the many challenges to the teaching-learning process due to the pandemic, it’s heartening to see our staff (faculty as well as non-teaching) and students putting up a tough fight and overcoming those issues in the right spirit. The tenacity and grit of our faculty and students are amply exhibited in our constant improvements in NIRF rankings inspite of many many challenges and constraint.
I am glad to inform you that NIT Manipur is fast moving forward despite the multiple challenges in this post-Covid world. Research and learning have never stopped in this campus despite the many odds that we have faced. This newsletter bears a testimony to the growth and development of this young institute and its resolve to scale the great heights of academia to the next level. The Institute has been gradually growing, being able to stand tall in 108 rank in 2022 from 114th in 2021. Constant efforts have been put in by the whole NIT Manipur family with an aim to make the institute reach the level of top 100 engineering colleges in the year to come in NIRF Ranking.

The North East Research Conclave was held at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati from May 20th to 22nd 2022. National Institute of Technology, Manipur took part in the conclave. The team of the institute led by Director NIT Manipur, Prof. (Dr.) Goutam Sutradhar consisted of 14 teaching and non-teaching staff and 19 students. The research activities and other achievements of the institute were showcased. The show stopper of the institute’s presentation was the products of M/s Kumshungbam, a startup company founded by Dr. Wangkheirakpam Sujata of the Chemistry Department.
NIT Manipur, along with the rest of the world, celebrated the 8th International Yoga Day on the 21st of June, 2022 on the theme “Yoga for Humanity”. The teaching, and non-teaching staff as well as the students participated in this year’s function under the overall supervision of our Director, Prof. Dr. Gautam Sutradhar. This year’s Observation was a significant one, considering the increasing importance of health awareness in the postCovid world. The observation not only underlined the health benefits of Yoga but also its role in maintaining and securing a fruitful life.
Prof. A. Surjalal Sharma, US Fulbright-Nehru Fellow and a Fellow of American Physical Society, Director at the Goddard Planetary Heliophysics Institute, University of Maryland, USA delivered a talk on Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in Dynamical Systems on 19th May, 2022 with the audience from Science and Engineering.
The Institute is actively participating in the training and providing awareness to the faculties and students in the state as well as in the north east. In the past semester, 19 workshops/short term training under the new education policy (2020), AICTE, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, ATAL, Directorate of Environment & Climate Change, Govt. of Manipur were conducted.
This research work and experimental test facility for standardized testing of Jet Impingement Cooling techniques useful for industries R&D section, academic institutions and India Govt. research agencies such as HAL, DRDO & ISRO etc.
A low-cost water treatment plant based on roughing and biosand filter for treatment of village pond was designed and constructed for Kameng and Maklang villages, Lamsang, Manipur. The plant required no chemical treatment and required no maintenance for nearly 6 years. The project is under the funding of NECTAR, DST, Govt. of India. Compared to commercial water, the recovery of the cost can be achieved within a year.
