About the department
The Indian textile industry is heading towards radical change, and much of the responsibility for that falls to the technical institutions that train its technocrats. The Department of Textile Technology at BIET works towards technical excellence in textile education with that in view.
The department sets out to offer both a serious textile education and a campus that draws students from across the country, and takes as its philosophy that work is worship. Its students aim at excellence, efficiency and effectiveness in what they take on, and the department sees its task as sowing that work culture and then carefully nurturing it in those who graduate from here.
