ABOUT COLLEGE
AIT was founded in August 1994, as a result of the vision, and untiring efforts of Gen B.C Joshi PVSM, AVSM, ADC.The Institute was inaugurated by Gen S.Roy Chaudhary PVSM, ADC on 24th Feb, 1995.The beautiful campus, serene ambience and architectural splendor,state of the art infrastructure, all provide vital ingredients for a delectable academic environment for development of total quality engineers. The first batch of BE students graduated in 1998 with flying colours.The succeeding batches continue to excel in all fields-be it sports,cultural or academics.And this tradition of excellence promises to remain unfizzed with every new batch coming to the Institution. The Institute obtained accreditation by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in May 2007 and re accreditation for three departments and first time for IT Dept is being taken up from 18 to 20 Jan 2013 and was awarded ISO 9001:2000 Certification for quality Management and administration in Aug 2005 and re-certification in Aug 2008 and Feb 2012.
Campus:
The largest
building is the Academic Block, which houses the lecture halls, most
laboratories, offices for the administration and an auditorium.
Sports are an
especially popular pastime at AIT and the campus boasts a basketball court, a
cricket field, a tennis court, a volleyball court, a football (soccer) field, a
badminton court, fitness studio, a croquet lawn and two Squash (sport) courts.
The AIT library is
open to all students and staff and is one of the most frequented locations on
campus. The library has a very technical bent and, as of 2009, had 5154 titles
and 16927 volumes, and subscribed to 43 national periodicals and 14
international journals.
The campus is well
serviced through public transportation links to the nearby suburb Vishrantwadi
and also to the most popular locations in Pune: the University, Deccan, Main
& East Streets and the railway station. The village of Dighi is a short walk
away, as are the hills which lend their name to the locality.
Academics:
AIT offers the
following four engineering courses: Computer Engineering, Electronics &
Telecommunication Engineering, Information Technology and Mechanical
Engineering. All four courses are approved and accredited by both the All India
Council For Technical Education (AICTE) and the National Assessment and
Accreditation Council (NAAC). All the four courses which are offered at AIT,
i.e. Computer Engineering, Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering,
Information and Technology Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, are
accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA).
Each course lasts
for eight semesters and these are spread out over four years, referred to as FE
(First Year Engineering), SE (Second Year Engineering), TE (Third Year
Engineering) and BE (Bachelor of Engineering). The annual First Year of
Engineering intake for each class is sixty students, thus leading to a total of
two hundred and forty freshmen entering AIT each year, apart from this there is
also a provision for migration from other colleges subject to certain rules. In
2010-11 number of seats in Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering was
increased from 60 to 120.
Graduates receive a
Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree from the University of Pune.
Alumni:
The first batch of
engineers graduated in 1998, and they, like their successors, keep in touch
with AIT and each other through the Alumni Association. The aim of the Alumni
Association is to allow each alumnus - a fresh graduate or one from the first
batches - to leverage professional contacts, renew or build social ones and to
constructively contribute to the community and the Alma Mater. An annual Alumni
Meet is hosted on campus, where alumni get to interact with students and
faculty. As alumni are dispersed across the world, an online mailing list helps
alumni keep in regular touch with each other.
