WOMEN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

What WOMEN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY does

Women Institute of Technology (WIT), legally Government Women Institute of Technology, Dehradun, is a state-government constituent institute of Veer Madho Singh Bhandari Uttarakhand Technical University (VMSBUTU), established by Government Order dated November 15, 2011 and operational since September 1, 2012. It is the first women-only engineering institute in Uttarakhand, approved by AICTE, and serves undergraduate women students — primarily from rural and economically weaker sections of Uttarakhand and surrounding North Indian regions — seeking access to technical education.

WIT delivers six undergraduate programs: B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, plus a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA). The institute operates specialized laboratories including a Multilevel Inverter Microgrid Test Bench, Power Electronics and Power Systems Labs, Electrical Machine Lab, Transportation and Geotechnical Lab, and electrochemical sensor facilities. Research activities include nanobiosorbents for wastewater remediation, electrochemical discharge machining, and microgrid systems. The institution maintains active IEEE and ACM-ROCS student chapters and participates in TEQIP-III, UCOST-sponsored projects, and ANRF-funded Faculty Development Programs.

WIT does not operate as a commercial enterprise. It is funded by the Government of Uttarakhand with regulated tuition, admits students exclusively through JEE Mains (first-year) and UKSEE (lateral entry) state counseling, and routes graduates into campus placement with IT/ITeS employers (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, IBM, Accenture, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra) alongside emerging partnerships with energy-sector firms such as ONGC. Revenue figures, enrollment counts, and financial statements are not publicly disclosed. The institute is led by Director Prof. Manoj Kumar Panda.
