About SAAT:

Siksha O Ansusandhan University metamorphosised from a very modest beginning. Orissa was a poor state and the literacy levels were low. Most students who could afford, migrated to Universities outside the state to pursue careers in technical fields due to lack of facilities in Orissa.This trend was unacceptable to atleast one visionary professor Prof.(Dr.) Manojranjan Nayak who decided to establish an Engineering Instiute in Bhubaneswar. The Institute was named - Institute of Technical Education & Research, fondly known as ITER.That was way back in the academic year 1996-97 when the first batch of students took admissions to pursue careers in engineering and technology in a small building.There has been no looking back since then. Today when Siksha O Anausandhan Society completes 10 eventful years, the vision of its founder is taking shape in the form of an university which shall endeavour to make quality professional education accesible to student across all communities.The objectives of Siksha O Anusandhan University is to promote professional education, research, training and development in engineering, management, computer science, medical sciences, dental sciences, pharmacy, nursing etc. This shall help in catering to the professional manpower need of the Country.Under the ambit of the Siksha O Anusandhan University there are Nine faculties.
