Future challenges:
# MIT suffers from challenges from the neglect at the hands of Bihar government. The state government of this backward state is notorious for neglecting the developement works. MIT badly needs upgrdaradation of infrastructure facilities to cope up with incresed intake. Also recruitment of more faculty members is required.
