At the Robotics club, we were supported by college towards projects, participation in events and to build our own team. We travelled across cities and states to take part in National level Robotics events. Meeting people across states, knowing their teams, projects, robots further stimulated our minds.
The Mechanical engineering department is filled with enthusiastic teachers, modern teaching methods and advanced subjects. I took up mini-projects apart from regular projects and participated in hackathons under their guidance. With a caring, competent team and meticulous planning, Abhyuday, the welfare & placement department started to train us, from the first year itself, to face interviews.

'Ideas-Opportunities'; 'Achievements-Applauds'- my GAINS at NMAMIT!!
NMAMIT has an amazing campus amidst lush greenery.
I'm a civil engineering graduate and have a strong foundation of knowledge. I always put my best foot forward when I step into a room and feel that I belong there.
The professors are fountains of knowledge, truly passionate about the subject. Somewhere along the line their passion spills over to the students!
NMAMIT boosts extra curricular activities as well. Incridea, one of the best Technical and Cultural fests is organized here, where students from various parts of the country participate.
It's also one of the safest places for girls to stay in.
I have truly made some amazing memories and a great network being in NMAMIT.
I gladly say that "I am a proud NMAMITian"

NMAMIT has always been my second home. It's where I discovered a part of myself, and who I wanted to become. Hearing the word 'Nitte' makes me smile and that's the place I want to go back to, if given a chance.This is why I try my best to help the juniors in their academics, especially with regard to placements, because the outstanding feature of this college is the brilliant placements offered at the end of 4 years.

The three most important factors influencing success for an engineer are ' Learning Environment, Branch of interest and opportunity for Placements'. NMAMIT provides all three - the ideal atmosphere for learning, best faculty (as I had in CSE who are also friendly and helpful) and, good placements.
Abhyuday, the counselling, welfare, training & placement department works efficiently with concern, to groom all the students to prepare them for life and find placements in the best possible companies. (Placements begin on entering the final year), I even had the rich privilege and freedom of running a program to train the 3rd year students to prepare for placements along with a team of like minded campus recruited students, a process that trains us in compassionate leadership.

“I cherish the four years I spent at NMAMIT. The experience has been nothing less than extraordinary. I say this because of the plethora of opportunities that we were presented with. Academia and personal growth went hand in hand, leading to a more wholesome development. The support and encouragement to pursue extra-curricular activities gave us the much-needed breather, which in turn meant we did better in our subjects. Cutting the long story short, NMAMIT gave us the perfect platform to excel both, personally and professionally.”

They say college days are the best phase of one’s life, and I definitely second that notion. I am grateful to have been exposed to ample opportunities from my very first year in NMAMIT. The numerous events, frequent seminars, extra-curricular activities, and yearly inter-college fest contributed as building blocks evolving me into the person I am today. Not only did I expand my knowledge spectrum in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, but it also strengthened my leadership skills and confidence. Thank you for the most amazing four years NMAMIT, you’ll always have a piece of my heart.

Bioenergy Research, Information and Demonstration Centre (BRIDC)
The Udupi District BRIDC, functioning under the Department of Biotechnology Engineering, NMAMIT, is one among the 32 information and demonstration centres instituted by Karnataka State Government Bio-energy Development Board (KSBDB) with average annual grant of Rs.4 lakhs. The centre, established near Sanmathi Garden (Indoor Stadium) of NMAMIT Campus in the year 2011, has a building space of 2000 sq.ft.
The centre, along with Biodiesel production from used cooking oil and various non-edible oil seeds available in Udupi District, creates awareness, and disseminates information about bio-fuels to the scientific community, students, farmers and public. It also demonstrates the technical know how of biofuel production. Production of biodiesel from locally available non- edible oil seeds and used cooking oil results in rise of eco-friendly fuel usage. Also adds revenue to the farmers, businesses, saves foreign exchange, reduces dependence on fossil fuel and creates rural employment
NMAMIT Biodiesel centre is equipped with a pilot scale chemical reactor to produce 50 litres of biodiesel from any oil source per batch in about 20-24 working hours through a chemical process in the presence of a catalyst. Seed decorticators are available to remove outer cover and recover seed kernels (30-40 kg/hr). The oil from the non-edible seeds is extracted through a mechanical expeller (20-30 kg/hr seed crushing capacity) later the oil is filtered using Plate and Frame filter assembly and then used in the production of biodiesel. Used cooking oil is also used for biodiesel production. Produced biodiesel is separated and purified for engine usage. The centre also houses a laboratory for biodiesel testing where major 5 fuel parameters (acid value, viscosity, density, flash point and copper strip corrosion) are tested. A portable Biogas unit (0.5-1 cubic meter capacity) with 2-3 kg waste handling per day is also installed in the Bioenergy centre.
Biodiesel blend of up to 20% along with regular Diesel can be used in any Diesel engine without any hardware modification. Biodiesel has a significant amount of natural lubricity and adding in levels as low as 5% can improve lubricity up to 65%, thereby reducing engine ware and tare. Biodiesel can also be used in DG sets, tractors, pump sets etc. It is much safer than petro diesel with a flash point over 1200C. Importantly, toxic emissions such as Hydro Carbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Particulate matter (smoke) reduces significantly for biodiesel in comparison with conventional Diesel. In some cases, the use of petro-diesel leaves a deposit at the bottom of fuel lines, tanks, and delivery systems over time. Thus usage of biodiesel due to its cleansing properties helps to dissolve any sediments deposited and initially change of fuel filter may be expected in some old vehicles.
At NMAMIT,a few college buses are fuelled with biodiesel blend (B10) successfully.
- Provided Biodiesel to school buses of GM Vidyaniketan Public School-Brahmavar
- Supplied7000 litres to Bangalore based hotels (boilers)
- Supplied 1000 litres to city buses in Mangalore
- Provided 1000 litres to Baikampady Truck transporters
- Supplied 500 litres to Karkala taluq-panchayat office vehicles for a period of 6 months
- Some faculty members of Nitte campus Institutions fuel their personal vehicles with biodiesel

I'm a civil engineering graduate and have a strong foundation of knowledge. I always put my best foot forward when I step into a room and feel that I belong there.
The professors are fountains of knowledge, truly passionate about the subject. Somewhere along the line their passion spills over to the students!
NMAMIT boosts extra curricular activities as well. Incridea, one of the best Technical and Cultural fests is organized here, where students from various parts of the country participate.
It's also one of the safest places for girls to stay in.
I have truly made some amazing memories and a great network being in NMAMIT.
I gladly say that "I am a proud NMAMITian"

NMAMIT has always been my second home. It's where I discovered a part of myself, and who I wanted to become. Hearing the word 'Nitte' makes me smile and that's the place I want to go back to, if given a chance.This is why I try my best to help the juniors in their academics, especially with regard to placements, because the outstanding feature of this college is the brilliant placements offered at the end of 4 years.

The three most important factors influencing success for an engineer are ' Learning Environment, Branch of interest and opportunity for Placements'. NMAMIT provides all three - the ideal atmosphere for learning, best faculty (as I had in CSE who are also friendly and helpful) and, good placements.
Abhyuday, the counselling, welfare, training & placement department works efficiently with concern, to groom all the students to prepare them for life and find placements in the best possible companies. (Placements begin on entering the final year), I even had the rich privilege and freedom of running a program to train the 3rd year students to prepare for placements along with a team of like minded campus recruited students, a process that trains us in compassionate leadership.

“I cherish the four years I spent at NMAMIT. The experience has been nothing less than extraordinary. I say this because of the plethora of opportunities that we were presented with. Academia and personal growth went hand in hand, leading to a more wholesome development. The support and encouragement to pursue extra-curricular activities gave us the much-needed breather, which in turn meant we did better in our subjects. Cutting the long story short, NMAMIT gave us the perfect platform to excel both, personally and professionally.”

They say college days are the best phase of one’s life, and I definitely second that notion. I am grateful to have been exposed to ample opportunities from my very first year in NMAMIT. The numerous events, frequent seminars, extra-curricular activities, and yearly inter-college fest contributed as building blocks evolving me into the person I am today. Not only did I expand my knowledge spectrum in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, but it also strengthened my leadership skills and confidence. Thank you for the most amazing four years NMAMIT, you’ll always have a piece of my heart.
