Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science

Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science is a private deemed university on Chennai's southern coastal corridor, established in 1985 and holding an A+ grade from NAAC. It is best known within engineering circles for its aeronautical and aerospace-related programmes, a niche it has cultivated for decades, though computer science and electronics now account for much of its intake. The campus location near the Old Mahabalipuram Road puts students within reach of Chennai's IT belt while keeping them outside the dense city core. As a deemed university it controls its own curriculum and admissions. It suits students who want a private engineering education in Chennai with an aviation-leaning identity, and who prefer an established institution over the newer private universities in the region.
