The Institute
In order to cater to the country’s need of trained manpower of higher learning in science and technology, the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur, first of the chain of seven IITs, was established in 1951. The idyllic, sylvan setting at Hijli was chosen to provide a cordon sanitaire to the serious learners for uninterrupted pursuit of studies. From a modest start in the dilapidated Hijli jail buildings, IIT Kharagpur has gone on to be engaged in a virtually continuous process of development. The handsome main building with its majestic tower was inaugurated in 1956 and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in the first convocation in the same year said “Here in the place of that Hijli detention camp stands this fine monument of India, representing India’s urges, India’s future in the making. This picture seems to me symbolic of changes that are coming to India”.
Today, IIT Kharagpur has come a long way to its present position of pre-eminence with nineteen academic departments, seven multidisciplinary centers, a School of Management, a School of Telecommunications, a School of Medical Science and Technology, and a School of Information Technology, and several sophisticated central facilities. It is the largest and the most diversified among the IITs and strives to produce scientists and technologists of the highest caliber to help the nation become self-reliant in its technological needs and to provide leadership in the field of technical education and research. Some of the distinctive features of the programmes at IIT Kharagpur are science based engineering education, emphasis on complete education, continuous internal evaluation and flexibility for experimentation, upgradation and innovation in curriculum design. IIT Kharagpur has a number of distinctions to its credit among all the IITs, such as the First Master’s programme on Management, First Master’s Programme on Medical Science and Technology for practising Medical Doctors, First Postgraduate Diploma in Information Technology. In a study, sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, IIT Kharagpur has the highest relative employment productivity index among the IITs and is the top supplier of fresh engineers/technologists to the public and private sector industries. It also ranked first among the IITs in the production of science and engineering PhDs.

2. SCHOOL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (SMST)
About the School
Innovations in technology have led to spectacular advancements in modern medicine. To meet the challenges posed by medicine in the 21st century the country needs new breed of medical professionals who will be able to understand the fusion of medical science with technology and can bridge the two disciplines. With this philosophy in mind, The Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur established the School of Medical Science and Technology in 2001. This is the first centre in India where the physicians are trained in technology in the time tested IIT system. The School of Medical Science and Technology also has a mandate to further research and development of technology as applied to medicine.
MMST
Programe
School of Medical Science and Technology (SMST) offers a 3 years postgraduate programme - Masters in Medical Science and Technology (MMST
) for MBBS graduates. With the two fields merging rapidly there is a need for people who are qualified in both the disciplines and well versed in upcoming thrust areas for research. This programme will impart engineering skills to medical professionals and train them for state-of-art medical research in the frontier areas of Medical Imaging & Image Analysis, Telemedicine & Tele Surgery, Bio-sensors & Medical Instrumentation, Bio-markers & their applications in Diabetes & Oncology, Reproductive Biology, Contraceptive Development & Infertility Management, Molecular Biology & Tissue Engineering, Preventive & Promotive Health Care, Comprehensive Health Information System for Disease Management, Development of Cancer Drugs, Bio-medical Implants & Devices, Brain Research & Cognitive Neuro- Science, and Nano-technology & MEMS in Medicine. After the completion of this course, the medical professionals become well equipped to fill the void that separates medical sciences from advanced technology. Apart from the existing 3-year interdisciplinary Master's Programme in Medical Science and Technology (MMST
) for medical doctors and MS and PhD programmes in Medical Science and Technology, the school is envisaging the following three new courses from the session 2007 - 08:
1. M.Tech in Medical Imaging and Image analysis (2 years)
2. PG Diploma in Medical Informatics (1 year)
3. PG Diploma in Healthcare Management System (1 year)
