Technological Institute of Textile & Sciences

Its administration vests in the TIT&S College Managing Committee. The committee is constituted according to the constitution prescribed by the All India Council for Technical Education.

The institute is attached to a textile mill to train students under actual working conditions and for conducting research. The college's focus on textile technology is unique in India and uncommon elsewhere. It is among the few (others being the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institute of Technology) in India that offers degrees in technology (B. Tech. with Honours) at the undergraduate level as opposed to a B.E. (Bachelor in Engineering).

The college was founded in 1943 by Padma Vibhushan, Dr. Ghanshyam Das Birla and Pushkar D Makharia under the auspices of the Birla Education Trust.

The college was initially affiliated with the Department of Industrial Training, Punjab, for a 3-year diploma course in spinning and weaving technology. TIT&S remained part of the Birla Education Trust until 31 March 1985. Thereafter, it separated from the trust as an independent society. It was registered under the West Bengal Societies Registration Act of 1961 known as "The Technological Institute of Textiles," which was formed to manage it. To reflect the expanded instructional facilities and new courses, it was renamed "The Technological Institute of Textile & Sciences".

Admission to the four-year B.Tech. course is based on merit of the JEE, the main exam conducted by CBSE; 400 students are accepted each year. M.Tech. courses have an intake of 66 students and MBA courses have an intake of 40 students. Admission to the two-year MBA degree course is based on merit and determined by CMAT scores conducted by AICTE. Admission are made through 'On-Line Off-Campus' counseling under the authority of the Haryana State Counseling Board, Directorate of Technical Education, Haryana Chandigarh, for which TIT&S is a participating institute.

In 1952, the school moved to its present building which is equipped with laboratories and a library. From the initial enrollment of about 200 in 1946 it grew to over 2,400. It is the only school of its kind where education is free from nursery to senior secondary class. Free books are provided.
