Humanities

Department of humanities has excellent reputation for both its teaching and research. The disciplines under humanities study the human condition, using methods that are primarily analytic, critical, or speculative, as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural and social sciences. Through the humanities we reflect on the fundamental question: What does it mean to be human? The humanities offer clues but never a complete answer. They reveal how people have tried to make moral, spiritual, and intellectual sense of a world in which irrationality, despair, loneliness, and death are as conspicuous as birth, friendship, hope, and reason.

The Training & Placement section endeavours to provide career planning and job seeking
assistance to students. AIT has a full-fledged Training & Placement Section with faculty incharge for Training and Placement Mr.Vishal Bhatnagar and TPO Dipti Mal. The T&P Section takes care of the following key activities for the students:
