Dean Admission Accreditation Coordination

Thank you for your interest in UG/PG/PhD studies at Birla Institute of Technology (BIT) Mesra, a Deemed to be University. In more than seven decades of its existence, BIT Mesra has earned a rich legacy of technology, entrepreneurship and leaders in well acclaimed fields. BIT Mesra, established way back in 1955 started with only 3 departments which over the years have grown to 18 departments keeping on our commitments to academic excellence.

The Institute was the first to be granted autonomous status in 1972 making special provision in Bihar State University Act. It became a Deemed University in 1986 under section 3 of the UGC Act. I am happy to know that you have explored to learn about our Institute and the opportunities you have it here. Admission to all programs here are based on National / Institute level competitive test and counselling / interviews. For B.Tech. & B.Arch. programs, admissions are based on All-India Entrance Examination (JEE-Main) followed by JoSAA / CSAB counselling. This transparent process ensured good students from all over India thereby maintaining diversity in student profile. Admissions to our Institute is a remarkable experience and achievement. At BIT Mesra, you can engage yourselves with an open minded and enthusiastic community of students, faculty and staffs.

The Institute actively exercises quality initiatives like academic audits, examination reforms conforming to the rules and regulations of regulatory bodies, pre and post accreditation assessments, collaborative initiatives, ranking and ratings, etc. Currently all its eligible UG/PG programs are approved by AICTE. Majority of them are NBA accredited as well. BIT Mesra has ranked in NIRF-2020 with 38th position among Engineering Institutes, 66th position under University category and 85th in overall ranking category. BIT has current NIRF rankings in Pharmacy, Architecture and Management categories with 16th, 13th and 58th positions, respectively.

I would also like to extend a genial invitation to all interested aspirants who likes to make most of opportunities to expand their knowledge and meet their career goals.

RACHEL HPC FACILITY Resource Usage Policy

Policy Overview

Date: 11 March 2026

The Rachel High Performance Computing (HPC) Facility provides shared computational infrastructure to support the research, teaching, and scholarly activities of the institution. To ensure equitable access and the efficient utilization of these resources, all registered users are required to read, understand, and comply with the provisions set out in this Policy. These guidelines are effective immediately upon account activation and apply to all submitted workloads, stored data, and system interactions.

ParameterLimit / Requirement
Maximum Job Runtime120 hours (5 consecutive days)
Per-User Storage Quota150 GB (unauthorised use prohibited)
Job MonitoringUser's ongoing responsibility
Storage MaintenancePeriodic review & cleanup required
Non-Compliance ActionJob termination / access suspension

Job Runtime Limit

No user shall be permitted to execute any computational job on the Rachel HPC cluster for a continuous period exceeding total 120 hours (CPU-5 consecutive days or GPU-3 consecutive days). Jobs that approach or exceed this threshold will be subject to administrative intervention, including automatic or manual termination, to preserve system availability for all users.

Users requiring extended runtime beyond the standard limit must submit a written request to the System Administrator prior to job submission, providing scientific justification and an estimated resource budget.

Storage Utilization Limit

Individual users shall not utilize more than total 150 GB (for CPU nCPU-12 Core & for GPU nGPU-6 Core) of storage on the Rachel HPC system without prior written authorization from the System Administration team. This quota encompasses all personal directories, project workspace, and temporary scratch areas associated with the user account.

The following storage hygiene practices are mandatory:

  • Removal of completed job output files that are no longer required for active analysis.
  • Deletion of temporary, intermediate, and scratch files upon job completion.
  • Regular archival of results to institutional long-term storage systems.
  • Prompt response to storage-usage alerts issued by System Administration.

Fair Resource Usage

All users are expected to exercise good judgement in their use of Rachel HPC resources. Users shall not monopolies CPUs, memory, network bandwidth, or storage in a manner that disrupts or prevents other researchers, faculty members, or students from accessing the facility.

Submitting large numbers of simultaneous jobs that saturate the scheduler queue without scientific necessity, or deliberately circumventing resource allocation controls, constitutes a violation of this Policy.

Job Monitoring Responsibility

Users bear full responsibility for monitoring all jobs they submit to the Rachel HPC scheduler. This responsibility includes:

  • Regularly checking job status, output logs, and resource-consumption metrics.
  • Promptly terminating any job found to be stalled, malfunctioning, or producing incorrect results.
  • Ensuring that submitted jobs do not run beyond their stated resource requirements.

Users who are unable to actively monitor a job due to absence or other commitments should make arrangements for a designated colleague to assume monitoring responsibility, or should limit job scope accordingly.

Storage Maintenance

Users shall periodically review their allocated storage space and proactively remove unnecessary files, redundant datasets, temporary data, and intermediate outputs. Maintaining adequate free capacity on the Rachel HPC storage systems is a shared responsibility that directly impacts the productivity of all users.

System Administration may issue storage-usage warnings when a user's allocation approaches the permitted quota. Users are expected to respond to such warnings within five (5) working days by reducing their storage footprint to within the authorized limit.

Policy Compliance

All users of the Rachel HPC facility are required to comply with the provisions of this Policy as a condition of continued access. Compliance is the personal responsibility of every account holder.

âš   Non-Compliance & Administrative Authority Failure to comply with any provision of this Policy may result in the immediate termination of running jobs, restriction of computational resource allocations, or temporary suspension of access privileges to the Rachel HPC facility. The System Administrator reserves the right to terminate any user process deemed to be making undue or excessive use of system resources, without prior notice, in order to maintain overall system stability and equitable access for all users.
