UG courses in Mech, Elect, Civil, Metallurgy & Chemical Engg of the Institure are accreditated by NBA. Highly experienced faculty members with vast experience in teaching, research and industrial consultancy are available in the Institute. Most of the faculty members are having PG or Ph.D. degree from reputed IIT and NITs. The student input to the college is of high order from the OJEE / JEE (main) merit list.

Tech programs established in the Institute to carry out research in cutting edge areas. Provision of deputation of faculty members to other reputed institutions like IITs for obtaining Ph D & Post Doc qualifications. IGIT is the recipient of the best Engineering college award from ISTE, BPUT.

Inadequate space for departments and faculty chambers. Insufficient funds from state Govt in various budgetary provisions. Lack of Academic Autonomy of Institute. OPPORTUNITY Institute is well connected by Road/ Rail which allows creating growth opportunities in form of industry-institute interaction and potential for research and consultancy. Being the leading institute, it creates opportunities for faculty and students to create a platform for better interaction and creative competition with other technical Institutes in the form of seminars/ quizzes/ conferences for overall growth. The institute is surrounded by number of software industries such as INFOSYS, Tech Mahindra, WIPRO, TCS, STPI, OCAC; a number of steel and power industries in core sector like NALCO, NTPC, UAL, EMAMI, BHUSHAN, JINDAL, LANCO, GMR, NINL, MESCO, NAV BHARAT and organizations like CTTC, CIPET, CIFA, ILS, thus posing opportunities for future technical collaborations. Expansion to become University in future may be easier and feasible due to availability of free Govt. land, water in the river Brahmani in the periphery. Vicinity of other academic (Govt.) institutes like IIM, NISER, IIT, IIIT, Institute of Physics, IISER, IMMT, OUAT, NITTTR, AIIMS, NIFT, VSSUT, NIT etc. offers scope for strengthening joint academic programmes for mutual growth. 6 CHALLENGES Insufficient funding from state Govt. for rapid and timely growth of the institute.
