ABOUT VENUE (NIT PATNA)

National Institute of Technology Patna is the 18th National Institute of Technology created by the Ministry of

H.R.D. Government of India after rechristening the erstwhile Bihar College of Engineering Patna on 28. 01. 2004.

NIT Patna marked its humble beginning in 1886 with the establishment of pleaders survey training school which

was subsequently promoted of Bihar College of Engineering Patna in 1924. This made this institute the 6th Oldest

Engineering Institute of India. The graduate level curriculum was later elevated to the post graduate level in

1978. The institute is situated on the south bank of holy river Ganges behind Gandhi Ghat, one of the most

important and reverential places of Patna. The Gandhi Ghat is associated with the immersion of ashes of father

of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi in the river Ganges. The campus has a picturesque river view with historic building

presenting a spectacle of architectural delight and natural beauty.

National Institute of Technology Patna has been declared as an Institute of National Importance and has

been granted a fully Autonomous Status by MHRD, Government of India. The Institute has also been declared as

a Centre of Excellence of impart high level education training, research and development in science, engineering

technology and humanities. It is imparting high quality education & values at UG (B. Tech), PG (M. Tech) & Ph.D

programmes through its experienced faculty well versed in their respective field of engineering and technology

with well-equipped laboratories.

ABOUT MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1952 and the M. Tech Program was started in

1978. BCE was rechristened to National Institute of Technology Patna on 28th January 2004 as an Autonomous

Institute under MHRD, Govt. of India. Initially B. Tech program in Mechanical Engineering was started with intake

of 20 students, which has now become 125. Apart from UG programme, the department also offers M. Tech and

Doctoral programmes in the areas of Thermal Engineering, Production Engineering, and Design. Presently, the

department have more than 120 PhD research scholars. The Department is committed to provide quality

teaching and research opportunities to its undergraduate (B. Tech), postgraduate (M. Tech) and doctoral

students.

PRIME - 2021

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Patna has the great pleasure to welcome scientists and

engineers from all over the world to attend International conference on Progressive Research in Industrial &

Mechanical Engineering (PRIME-2021) to be held on 5-7 August, 2021.

The main objective of this international conference is to present the current research progresses in the

area of Thermal & Fluids, Design, Mechatronics, Control and Robotics, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering,

Energy and Process Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, Structural Engineering, Automobile

Engineering, and other inter-disciplinary and emerging areas. The conference seeks to provide a platform for a

broad blend of high-quality research articles in order to promote rapid communication and exchange between

scientists, researchers, academicians, industrialists, engineers, and students. This conference will provide an

opportunity to national and international experts and industry leaders to share their experiences and success

stories. The delegates will be benefited with the scientific and technological issues addressed by recognized

global experts who are up to date with the latest developments in their area and provide information future

research areas. PRIME-2021 will allow interactive panel discussions and sessions by renowned keynote speakers,

plenary speeches, short lectures, oral paper and poster presentations.

Participants can present their latest research works through oral presentation or poster presentation.

Best paper presentation and best poster presentation awards will be awarded. The conference provides platform

to publish original research articles, review articles and feature articles. All the accepted papers will be published

with SCOPUS indexing.
