| A pioneering joint venture is born |
| In 2001, the proposal to establish SAEIT as a joint project with IIT Madras was approved by BHEL's Board of Directors headed by the Chairman & Managing Director and a formal Memorandum of Understanding was signed between BHEL Tiruchi and IIT Madras for the setting up of the School of Advanced Engineering and Information Technology (SAEIT) within BHEL's engineering and manufacturing complex at Tiruchirappalli. |
| Under the guidance and with the active support of the Director of IIT Madras, SAEIT opened its doors to the first batch of students in June 2002 making it the very first joint venture educational initiative of its kind in India between an IIT and a Public Sector engineering enterprise.. |
