In 1994, the founder of Nirma Industries and an
internationally famous entrepreneur Dr. Karsanbhai K.
Patel crystallized his long cherished dream of
providing world-class facilities for professional
education in Gujarat. He established Nirma Education
& Research Foundation (NERF), which in turn
established, on a 110-acre campus, six leading
institutions, Nirma Institute of Technology in 1995,
Nirma Institute of Management in 1996, Nirma
Institute of Diploma Studies in 1997, Institute of
Pharmacy in 2003, Institute of Science in 2004 and
Institute of Law in 2007. The establishment of the
Nirma University in April 2003 was a natural
consequence of the very high standards achieved by
the first three institutes. The first three Institutes
have now become Institutes under Nirma University.

His extraordinary foresight and leadership skills motivated everyone at the institute and the university on a whole to work hard to reach this Herculean task. It is indeed a privilege to be a part of the institute.
We have a very wonderful infrastructure, adequate to run all the courses, offered by various departments and conducted by the university. We have lush green lawn, taking the institute to the laps of the nature and good laboratory facilities to provide good technical exposure with latest equipments and hardware/software. There are various events organized by the various student bodies in the institute round the year. These events are conceptualized, designed and executed by the students only. These all skills lead to a healthy development of creativity amongst the young minds. It is one of the methods by which we try to achieve the goal of the institute. The resources of the institute are used for such activities.
It is said that the “Pain of Discipline is better than the Pain of Regret”. As our University mission statement reads, we at the institute give highest importance to discipline and behavioral aspects of the students. We want our students to be recognized as the best individuals and good citizens serving the society as well.

Institute of Technology is a leading institute offering
multi disciplinary undergraduate, postgraduate and
Ph.D. programmes in engineering. The institute is a
constituent of the Nirma University.
Located in peaceful and sylvan surroundings, about
15 km from Ahmedabad Railway Station, it is also
easily accessible from the state capital Gandhinagar.
A disciplined, serene and pleasant environment
envelops the campus. It blends beautifully with the
green landscaping, aesthetic elegance of arches and
the vibrant pursuit of knowledge by the young
aspirants. The academic ambience gives full scope
for group activities, which are plenty, as also to
individual pursuits for development on preferred
tracks.
The institute shares the Nirma University campus
with five other institutions: Institute of Management,
Institute of Pharmacy, Institute of Science, Institute
of Diploma Studies and Institute of Law. All have
distinguished record of achievements. Students
joining the Institute of Technology have therefore, an
opportunity of interaction with the academic
community of the entire Nirma University complex.
The academic environment generated by the
interaction between professional disciplines has a
stimulating influence, especially in the formative
years of young students. Exposure to such
environment helps the students to develop good
communication skills, an integrated personality and
greater competitive spirit.
The dedication and commitment with which the
students and faculty have worked over the past
fourteen years have paid rich dividends and this has
made the institute the most preferred one among
the student fraternity. The students of this institute
were consistently securing top ranks in examinations
when it was affiliated to Gujarat University. The
performance of a student in the examinations is not
the sole criterion of the quality of education
acquired; nevertheless, it is an important indication
of the effectiveness of the academic inputs.

simulation and Computer Numerically Controlled manufacturing. It involves both software and special-purpose
hardware. Implementation of CIM in any organization results in tangible and intangible benefits such as higher
profit, increased productivity, reduced inventory, customer satisfaction, higher employee morale. The course is
helpful to learn Optimization of various manufacturing processes using Finite Element Analysis, Design and
optimization of various tooling used in manufacturing processes, Developments and integration of CAD and
CAM, Development of process planning and production management systems using advanced methods like
neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, condition monitoring and fault diagnosis, design for
manufacturing and design for assembly.
