History
Founded in 1943, the Technological Institute of Textile and Sciences is a center for research and education at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The visionary Padma Vibhushan Dr. Ghanshyam Das Birla established the institute in 1943 under the auspices of the Birla Education Trust.
Its administration vests in the TITS College Managing Committee which is constituted according to the constitution prescribed by the All India Council for Technical Education. The institute has attached to it a textile mill for training the students under working conditions and for conducting research. This association of a textile mill with an institute in textile technology is unique in India and not frequent even in the Western world. This institute is among those few institutes (the others being the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institute of Technology) in India that offer degrees in technology (B. Tech. with Honours) at the undergraduate level as opposed to the B.E. (Bachelor in Engineering).
