FROM
THE DESK OF
DIRECTOR
Prof. P. L. Sharma
India is slowly and steadily moving towards the number one spot amongst world’s super powers. One of
the major contributions in this pursuit is its technical man power. The country’s technical work force at
present is second to none in the world and it would not be unfair to attribute this achievement of India to
quality education being provided by various universities and technical institutes across the country.
Every state in India is contributing its share of efforts in providing quality education to the students of
this country and Himachal Pradesh is also one of the leading states in the northern region of India.
University Institute of Technology (UIT), H. P. University, Shimla, is one such Institute that has been
catering to the fulfillment of the demand of quality engineering, for the last twenty years. It has also
started Masters programmes in Information Technology and Computer Science Engineering as well as
Doctoral Programmes in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication
Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Science Engineering (CE, EE, ECE, IT &
CSE) and Applied Sciences and Applied Sciences this year.
It gives me immense pleasure in bringing the “PRAVESH UIT-2022”, an online application process
for admission to PG Programmes for the session 2022-23. The details for the admission have been
outlined in the accompanying document.
“To build a nation, you have to build the people”
UIT believes in building engineers instead of just producing them. That is why our aluminous is well
placed in a wide spectrum of leading industrial houses as well as top central and state government
agencies.
My dear young minds, I invite you people to become the part of this wonderful journey of building
engineers. I assure you that, this institute not only provides the best of the theoretical-technical
knowledge and hands-on exposures, but also emphasizes on special efforts for the overall development
of the human personality. We truly believe in
“Use of technology for the overall advancement of humanity with humility”.
Trust me, my dear aspirants, the great experience at UIT will not only help you in achieving your
professional goals but will also provide ample opportunities to excel in various co-curricular activities.
