HITAM believes the success of the institution lies in the accomplishments of students in their journey of life. This is possible if their careers are designed right from the first year instead of just working around placements. HITAM follows a unique approach of “Doing Engineering” instead of just studying it. The “Doing Engineering” approach allows students to be part of various hands on experiential learning activities.

Emerging Institution for Emerging Technology Courses

Hyderabad Institute of Technology & Management (HITAM) is a hub for emerging technologies and has been a true champion of student centric learning initiatives since 2001. HITAM helps build the future of its students, with its unique project-based approach to engineering education. All students get a hands-on, industry interactive education from the first year, making them realise their dream careers. Along with the core branches of B.Tech, HITAM also offers specialized B.Tech courses in emerging technologies.

HITAM has an exclusive focus on building continuous industry partnerships which allow students to experience applications of the concepts learnt in the classroom. There is an on-campus IBM Software Lab for training and certification and it also has tie-ups with Recode, Co Cubes, Aspiring Minds, Infomerica, TechNumen, Enterprise Minds, etc., which make HITAM a pulsating learning environment. These initiatives are now aligning with the NEP(National Education Policy) 2020 to encourage multidisciplinary approach in engineering.
