BIT has many firsts in its credit which have been replicated by other Institutes later on. BIT was the very first Institute in India to establish a Department of Space Engineering & Rocketry in the year 1964. BIT also introduced the concept of Small Industries Entrepreneurs' Park and became the first institute in the country not just to provide 'nursery sheds' and central designing and workshop facilities to young entrepreneurs, but also to facilitate the initial project funding. In line of the above view, Small Industry Research, Training and Development Organisation (SIRTDO) was set up in 1978 as a launching pad for small manufacturing enterprises run by technical graduates of BIT. A few companies born from this concept are Meditron, Alcast etc. This idea was appreciated by Department of Science and Technology, Government of India and spread to other leading institutes of India such as IITs by the Government as a concept of Science and Technological Entrepreneurs Park (STEP). The first STEP was approved and located in BIT Mesra. To add financial strength to this effort, BIT has set up SIDBI Center for Innovation and Incubation (SCII) by an arrangement with Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) to provide a limited period of time to new entrepreneurs, start up companies, and technology based organizations, to facilitate Research & Development operations in areas of interest with the faculty of the institute. BIT became the very first technical University in India to establish overseas extension centers in the year 2000. It is one of the few Universities in India to be accorded a Super Computer (PARAM 10000) at the core of its ultramodern IT infrastructure.

The Institute along with its extension centres at present has more than 10,000 students enrolled for different Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes. It also has more than 150 registered students for the Ph.D. Programmes.

Lalpur Extension Center

The Institute first started a centre for Continuing Education at Lalpur in Ranchi, initially offering only part-time postgraduate M.Tech. courses for disciplines such as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Electronics Engineering. It was primarily aimed for the benefit of officers working in various Ranchi based public sector undertakings and private industries such as, MECON, SAIL, HEC, CCL, CMPDI, SBI etc, who wished to upgrade their qualifications. Part-time M.Tech. degree courses were initially offered as evening courses, subsequently the MBA, MCA and DCA courses were also offered. The laboratory classes were conducted on Sundays and holidays at the main Mesra campus. This Centre is now referred to as the BIT Lalpur Extension Centre.

In 1997 the Lalpur extension centre started the full time courses, B.Sc. Computer Science and B.Sc. Electronics courses and in 1998 the BCA course for girls only. The success and popularity of these courses led to extra shifts being added in 1999 and the courses being opened for boys also. In 1999, M.Sc. in Information technology and M.Sc. in Electronics and Telecommunication courses were introduced for girls only. Currently the Lalpur Extension Centre has over 1768 students on its rolls with 560 post graduate students.
