National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) was established in 1996 and is being managed by the SM Charitable Educational Trust under the vision and guidance of its renowned philanthropist and educationist Chairman, Sri Surendra Mudali. The Institute is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE under MHRD, Govt of India) and is affiliated to the Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT). The Institute campus of 60 acres is located at the picturesque Palur Hills about 12 km from Berhampur and 3 hours drive from Bhubaneswar.
The Institute has grown by leaps and bounds under the able leadership of its founder Director, Prof. Sangram Mudali, Director (M.S., University of Houston, B. Tech., IIT Kanpur), Prof. (Mrs.) Geetika Mudali, Placement Director, (M.S.(MIS), New Jersey Institute of Technology, NJ) & Prof. Ajit Kumar Panda, Principal, (Boyscast Scholar at University of Michigan, USA). Within a short span of 17 years, it has produced 4 BOYSCAST faculty scholars who have been funded by Government of India to pursue postgraduate research in the top Institutes in USA and Germany. NIST has produced 3 Full Bright Scholars. Three of its faculty has won the Samant Chandrasekhar Young Scientist Award given by the Government of Orissa. Two AICTE funded Emeritus Professors worked at NIST. The faculty of the Institute has been awarded 3 URSI Young Scientist Awards. More than 25 Post doctorate scholarships have been awarded to the Institute faculty. The faculties of the Institute are alumni of IIT's, IISc, ISI, Jadavpur University and Calcutta University etc. More than 35 faculty of the Institute are from the IITs alone which is a testimony to its ability to attract and retain top-notch faculty. The faculties of the Institute have published more than 250 journal papers in refereed journals and are authors of about 24 books published by reputed publishing houses. The Institute also has its own publishing house "NIST Press". The Institute has received a number of grants, projects, special funding, travel funding, SDPs, FIST grant, scholarships, etc., from the DST, CSIR, AICTE, IT companies, etc.

Location
The college is located in Palur Hills, nearby NH-5, about 7.4 miles (12km) from the town of Berhampur, in southern Odisha, India.
Infrastructure
The 60 acres green campus has five main buildings:
- .Dr. Mohapatra had held meetings with the delegation led by then hon’ble chief minister Sri J.B Pattnaik in New York to build NIST university in Odisha
- .Application for AICTE approval was based on full financial support and credibility of Dr. Mohapatra. Many NRIs (primarily reputed academicians from USA) had also supported it.
- .Dr. Mohapatra had shipped large number of computers, terminals, books, and journals during the start-up years of the institute.
In order to make NIST as research center, Dr. Mohapatra have organized various international conferences and seminars and enabledthe visit by many NRI scientists and professors to the institute along with many other supports (e.g., formulation of course of studies, registering NIST under US .edu domain,company campus visit, student admission in US etc.) over the years.
