Applied Science & Humanities (ASHU)

About the Department

The Department of Applied Science and Humanities, (or ASHU), is one of the oldest departments in GNIT, being present from the inception of the institute in 2003, and some of the faculty members in the Dept were the earliest teachers to join the institute. It is also the Dept with the largest student presence, as the entire student body in B. Tech 1 st Year is under its provenance. This student body is always more than 400 strong making ASHU the most populous Dept in numbers. The Dept also excels by reason of attracting dedicated and talented teachers and staff, who are research-active, conscientious, and continually strive to bring the Dept closer to an approximation of its goals and long-cherished objectives. The Vision and Mission of the Dept are given below:

HOD's Message

As the Head of the Department of Applied Science and Humanities, it is my privilege to welcome each and every one of you to this vibrant academic community.

Our department plays a pivotal role in laying the foundation for your educational journey here at our esteemed institution. We offer a diverse range of subjects, encompassing sciences, engineering, mathematics, and humanities. This unique combination enables us to foster a well-rounded and holistic learning experience, preparing you to face the challenges of the modern world.

Our dedicated faculty members are experts in their respective fields, and they are committed to imparting knowledge, cultivating critical thinking, and nurturing our students’ creativity. Our curriculum is designed to equip our students with not only the technical skills but also the essential soft skills that will make them good communicators, problem solvers, and leaders in their future endeavors.

Our Department also plays a crucial role in fostering research skills in students through various methods, including integrating research projects into the curriculum, offering workshops on research methodologies, and encouraging students to publish their findings or present them at conferences. By honing these research skills, students will be better equipped to excel in their academic pursuits and thrive in their future careers.

I also emphasize the importance of a collaborative and inclusive environment. Beyond the classroom, our department offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, clubs, and events to help our students to develop personally and socially.

Together, let us create an inspiring and nurturing learning environment that fosters excellence and innovation.
