The Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology (MIT), one of Bihar’s prominent engineering colleges, has proposed starting five new academic programs from the 2026-27 session. The suggestion has already been placed before the institute’s governing body. The aim is to expand academic offerings, especially in engineering and pharmacy, and to better serve students who otherwise may need to seek courses elsewhere.

🎓 Proposed New Courses & Seat Allocation

Here’s a breakdown of the new courses proposed:

Course / Level Specialization / Field Proposed Seats
M.Tech Computer Science & Engineering 18 seats
M.Tech Power Systems & Control 18 seats
M.Pharm Pharma 15 seats
M.Pharmacy Practice Pharmacy Practice 15 seats
B.Tech (Working Professionals) Civil Engineering 60 seats
B.Tech (Working Professionals) Mechanical Engineering 60 seats
B.Tech (Working Professionals) Electrical Engineering 60 seats
  • The M.Tech, M.Pharm, and Pharmacy Practice programs are postgraduate (PG) courses.
  • The B.Tech working professionals tracks are specially designed for candidates already employed in the field.
  • Total new seats proposed: 186 across these seven streams.

🏫 Rationale & Benefits

  • Convenience for students: With these courses on campus, students won’t need to approach other institutions for higher studies.
  • Diverse specializations: This move strengthens the link between engineering and pharmaceutical education at MIT.
  • Flexibility for professionals: Working professionals get an opportunity to upgrade their qualifications without leaving their jobs.

📊 Past Performance & Placement

According to MIT’s principal, Prof. M.K. Jha, in the academic span 2021-25, 188 students obtained B.Tech degrees from MIT. Among them, 68% (approximately 128 students) secured placements through MIT’s placement cell. This statistic reflects the institution’s commitment to both education quality and employability.

📆 What’s Next?

  • The proposal has gone before the governing body / academic council for approval.
  • Once approved, the courses are expected to be introduced from the 2026-27 academic year.
  • Infrastructure, faculty recruitment, and curriculum development will follow the formal approval.

✏ Conclusion

MIT Muzaffarpur’s plan to introduce new courses in Computer Science, Power Systems, Pharmacy, and working-professional B.Tech streams is a forward-looking move. It aligns with growing demand for multidisciplinary education and gives local students more opportunities in one campus. If approved and implemented deftly, it could raise MIT’s standing and greatly benefit the student community.
