ABOUT THE INSTITUTE The North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology (NERIST) is a unique Institute of its own kind in the country, having unconventional and innovative academic programmes. It was established in 1983 by the Government of India. Its foundation stone was laid by former President of India Late Giyani Zail Singh on 4th March 1984. The Institute was set up initially as a project of the North Eastern Council for providing a system of education to create technical manpower at various levels for the development of the North Eastern Region of the country. Its approach is to encourage a policy of vocationalisation at the +2 level and to allow motivated students to go for degree level while others to go out of the Institute to enrich their profession with some years of industrial experience. It is an autonomous, fully funded and controlled by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India from April 1, 1994. It got the status of deemed to be university on 31st May 2005 under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. It is governed by the Board of Management (BoM) comprising the representatives of the MHRD, Govt. of India, the eight beneficiary states of the North Eastern States, AICTE and eminent educationists. It is fully residential, and is spread over in 513 acres of land. Academic programmes in the Institute started in August 1986 with the first batch of students admitted to its Base Module. Till July 2010, nineteen batches of graduates with specialization in Agricultural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Forestry have passed out and many have been placed in different reputed organizations at national and international levels. 2. LOCATION The Institute is located in a picturesque valley at the foot-hills of the Eastern Himalayas, and is situated at Nirjuli (Itanagar) in the Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh on National Highway 52A. It is about 390 km from Guwahati (Assam) and 10 km from Banderdewa, the Entry Gate to the Capital Complex, Itanagar (Arunachal Pradesh). From the Institute, the Capital town, Itanagar is about 20 km onward.

Arunachal Pradesh being the land of exotic orchids and lush green hills, it provides an ideal setting for a seat of technical institution in a backdrop of quiet and pristine surroundings. The Institute can be accessed by rail, road or air from Guwahati through Harmuty Railway Station, North Lakhimpur, and Tezpur and Lilabari(North Lakhimpur), respectively. Super Deluxe buses are available daily to and from Guwahati. Taxi can also be hired at Guwahati to reach the Institute. 3. OBJECTIVES 1. To develop human resources at three levels, i.e., Technician, Supervisory and Executive levels for the development of the North Eastern Region in particular and the country in general; 2. To impart quality education with flexible multi-entry/exit systems to cater to the needs of the region; 3. To develop entrepreneurship base in the region; 4. To facilitate competency building in the North Eastern Region; 5. To strengthen R & D activities in the region; and 6. To play an advisory role for the overall development of the North Eastern region. 4. TEACHING DEPARTMENTS There is twelve degree awarding departments including a Center for Management Studies. The Institute offers bachelors degree programmes in six engineering disciplines and one in Forestry. The engineering disciplines are Agricultural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Besides the bachelors degree programmes, several post-graduate degree programmes leading to M.Tech, M.Sc, MBA and PhD are also offered by the Institute. 5. THE FACULTY Highly qualified and motivated faculty members from premier institutes of the country led by eminent Directors, have helped the Institute to grow into a vibrant seat of education catering to the needs of almost all sections of industries. The faculty
members are PhD / Post-Graduate holders from abroad, IITs, IISc, Central Universities, NITs and other leading Institutions of the country, and they have published research papers very widely in international / national journals of repute. Some of them have received awards for their contributions in research and academics. Many faculty members are engaged in individual research projects funded by CSIR, DST, DoE, UGC, AICTE, ICAR, DBT, DIT, TERI, IIRS, UNDP, ISRO, NBHM, MoEF, etc. A number of faculty members have visited abroad on prestigious fellowships such as BOYSCAST Fellowship, INSA Nehru Centenary Fellowship, SERC Fellowship, etc. 6. ACADEMIC STRUCTURE Technology stream (i.e., Engineering branches) at NERIST consists of three independent modules, viz., Base (Certificate), Diploma, and Degree modules. Each module is of two years duration (i.e., four Semesters). The first entry is after class 10th pass through NEE-I for admission in to Base Module. Lateral entry or lateral admission in to Diploma and Degree modules are permitted through NEE-II and NEE-III, respectively. The modular system of academic structure provides terminality corresponding to an occupational level, and at the same time, it allows entry to the next higher module leading finally to a degree in engineering and technology in six years time after class 10. The Base and Diploma levels emphasize more on practical aspects of engineering which go a long way in helping an individual to become an entrepreneur or face day-to-day problems of industry. The degree curriculum provides instructions in engineering and also emphasizes on management and entrepreneurship aspects making an individual more suited to the needs of todays industries. Forestry stream, on the other hand, has entry point after 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology through NEE-II for admission in to Degree Module leading to B.Sc degree in Forestry of four years duration (i.e., eight Semesters). 7. CENTRAL FACILITIES 7.1 ADVANCED CENTRAL COMPUTING FACILITY (ACCF) ACCF was established in 1996 with the objective of promoting research by faculty members
and encouraging advanced computer studies by students. 7.2 EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY CELL The ET cell has been established as a project sponsored by the MHRD, Govt. of India with an objective to increase the effectiveness of teachinglearning process with the help of modern audio-visual equipment. Now, the cell consists of processing laboratory, seminar room, and board room that are well equipped with the state of art audio-visual equipment. These are used for Seminars, Conferences, Workshops and special lectures by faculty members and professionals from institutions and industries. The cell provides INTERNET facility through BSNL leased line connectivity of 16 Mbps and NKN connectivity to all the Departments, Offices, Hostels and the Schools in the campus. 7.3 INSTITUTE LIBRARY The Institute library, with a collection of over 53,000 text books and reference books in its Central library and over 35,000 books in its Book Bank, subscribes 145 national journals. It also subscribes 10 magazines and 12 national and regional dailies to provide a base for enhanced learning. Every student can get issued a full set of books from its Book Bank facility in each semester. The library is also a member of MHRD INDEST Consortium, Govt. of India that offers access to 9 international e-resources. Besides this, it also subscribes JSTOR e-resources for the users of the Institute. It possesses IS code on CD-ROM and other educational DVDs. Being an institutional member of Indian Liquid Crystal Society, Bangalore and Kaziranga Wild Life Society of Assam, it receives literature and information services from them. Users can also access their required information about books through OPAC (On-line Public Access Catalogue). 7.4 CAMPUS AMENITIES The Institute has a number of necessary infrastructural facilities such as Sub-Post Office, Branch of State Bank of India with core banking facility and ATM facility, Co-operative store, Institute Canteen, Nescafe Coffee Corner, Medical Health Unit, Kendriya Vidyalaya and Kinder Garten School.
