==History==
[[File:Bitmesra.JPG|thumb|BIT Mesra Main Building|250x250px]]
The Birla Institute of Technology was established in 1955 at Mesra by industrialist and philanthropist B. M. Birla. The institute was affiliated to [[Patna University]] until 1960, and then to the Institute of Science and Management, Ranchi. In 1986 BIT was elevated to the status of [[deemed university]] under section 3 of the ''[[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]] Act, 1956''.

BIT was the first institute in India to establish a department of [[space engineering]] and [[rocket]]ry, in 1964.<ref>{{cite journal | last= Kreh| first= William|date=May 1962| title= Science Overseas| journal= [[Popular Mechanics]]| volume= 117| issue= 5| page= 22| publisher= [[Hearst Magazines]]| location= Chicago, Illinois| url= https://books.google.com/books?id=TuEDAAAAMBAJ&q=%22birla%20institute%20of%20technology%22&pg=PA22| access-date= 2008-12-24}}</ref>

The [[Small Industries Research and Development Organization]] (SIRDO) was set up in 1970 as a launching pad for small manufacturing enterprises managed by graduates of BIT. Companies created from this concept include Meditron and Alcast.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} This idea was appreciated by [[Department of Science and Technology (India)|Department of Science and Technology]], [[Government of India]]; and was spread to other institutes such as [[IITs]] by the Government with a concept named Science and Technological Entrepreneurs Park (STEP).{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} The first STEP was approved and located in BIT Mesra.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} The entrepreneurship development cell was founded in 2007 and is run by the students. To add financial strength to this effort, BIT has set up SIDBI Centre for Innovation and Incubation (SCII) by an arrangement with [[Small Industries Development Bank of India]] (SIDBI) to provide funds for a limited period of time to new entrepreneurs, start up companies, and technology based organisations in areas of interest with the faculty of the institute.<ref>{{cite news|author=SIDBI |url=http://www.sidbi.in/profile8.asp |title=SIDBI's National Programme on Innovation and Incubation for Small Scale Industries |access-date=2008-11-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081110083159/http://www.sidbi.in/profile8.asp |archive-date=10 November 2008}}</ref>
