What Shankara Institute of Technology, Jaipur does

Shankara Institute of Technology (SIT), established in 2001 in Jaipur, Rajasthan, is an AICTE-approved private technical institution affiliated with Rajasthan Technical University (RTU), Kota. The institute operates under the S.K. Chaudhary Educational Trust (SKCET), whose President, Dr. Sant Kumar Chaudhary, oversees a wider Shankara Group of Institutions spanning primary schools, inter-degree colleges, eye hospitals, nursing colleges, and Krishi Vigyan Kendra programs across Bihar, Rajasthan, Delhi, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu. SIT offers undergraduate programs in engineering (B.Tech across Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Mechanical, and Automobile Engineering), Business Administration (BBA), and Computer Applications (BCA), alongside postgraduate MBA and MCA programs across eight academic departments.

The institute's academic infrastructure includes 120+ lecture halls and 3 drawing halls with audio-visual equipment, specialized laboratories across engineering disciplines, a central library housing 30,000+ books and 100 national and international journals with a 24-hour reading facility for up to 1,000 students, and on-campus hostels accommodating 600 boys (Mithila) and 300 girls (Janaki). Total B.Tech intake capacity is 600 seats annually, split across RPET (420), JEE Main (90), Management quota (90), and TFWS (32) admission channels, plus 48 lateral-entry seats. The dedicated Training Placement Department maintains relationships with over 30 corporate recruiters including IBM, Infosys, Wipro, L&T, Accenture, Google, TCS, ICICI Bank, Cipla, and Havells, and delivers aptitude training, mock interviews, and industry interface sessions to support a stated '100% placement assistance' commitment.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and academic fees (B.Tech Rs. 77,000 per annum; MBA/MCA Rs. 60,500 per annum; BBA Rs. 52,000; BCA Rs. 40,000) plus hostel fees ranging from Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 60,000 annually, billed per semester via Cash/Cheque/DD in compliance with Rajasthan Government norms. Student acquisition follows a sales-led GTM motion through a toll-free helpline (1800-300-20-177), scholarship examinations conducted across 38 districts in Bihar, and direct campus visits. The institute has pursued international academic linkages, notably a 2018 collaboration with Aleksandras Stulginskis University (Lithuania) and several EU universities for joint conferences on technical education and entrepreneurship. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
