Basic Sciences & Humanities

It is my proud privilege and honor to welcome you to the Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities at KIT’s College of Engineering (Autonomous), Kolhapur, which is one of the premier institutions of Kolhapur. Whenever people look at a tall building they always tend to see its top; in turn base gets neglected which is the actual balance of the building. Yes, first year of engineering is the base and we at BSH department strengthen that base. Being a ‘Foundation Stone’ of engineering academics, the department of Basic Sciences, Humanities and Foreign Languages of the institute is well equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, highly qualified (01 Post Doctorate; 10 Doctorate; 03 PhD Pursuing), well experienced and dedicated faculty and staff and learner centric teaching-learning academics.

Around 1200 students, 16 divisions, 14 Basic Sciences, Humanities, and Engineering Sciences and technical lab is brief introduction of the department. The aim of the department is to mould students and start their journey as professional engineers. We take utmost care of the newly admitted students as they are at transition period from schooling to college life. To help them in getting adapted to the change various activities/programs such as Induction Programme, Project Based Learning (PBL), IDEA lab, Career Awareness, Orientation Programs, Mentorship, Continuous Assessment, various competitions, Study Tours and Parent Meets are conducted.

Along with these activities, we are following the best practices like sending daily and monthly attendance reports of the wards to their parents, using ERP Software (Learning Management Platform) to give final addition to classroom teaching. All the faculty, staff and first year students are much privileged to have 16 smart classrooms, all well-equipped set up labs such as lab of Applied Chemistry, Applied Physics, Digital Language lab, Applied Mechanics, Computer Aided Engineering Drawing, Computer Programming, Basic Mechanical and Foreign Language Lab exclusively devoted for first year academics. We are also thrilled to announce that from this academic year 2023-2024 FY curriculum is as per the norms of new NEP. We are grateful to the Management of KIT for providing this facility realizing the need of the time.
