===People and infrastructure===
[[File:LAB 6 rear view.jpg|thumb|alt=Lab6|400px|LAB 6 in the Center for Computation]]
Most of the faculties in the institute are engaged in research inside or outside the institute.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scholar.google.co.in/citations?user=iKAoUssAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao|title = Manash Chanda, Ph. D (Engg.)}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scholar.google.co.in/citations?user=zYcZSj4AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao|title = Dr. Swapnadip de}}</ref>

The Computer Science department hosts a Centre for Computation with around 400 terminals connected via backbone LAN. The Advanced VLSI Lab of ECE department is supported by [[Electronic design automation|EDA]] tools like [[SPICE]], [[Cadence Design Systems|CADENCE]] etc. The lab has hosted VLSI research projects that are being published in IEEE, Springer or [[Elsevier]]. A data Communication research hub in ECE department was set up in 2008, for advanced research in [[Communication Engineering]].{{cn|date=September 2021}}

==Research==
[[File:CISCO generic router( front view).jpg|thumb|300x150px|CISCO generic router in Data-Communication Research Hub]]
A major boost in MSIT's research platform came with a [[DRDO]] project on [[image processing]] in 2005. The project was hosted in this institute for more than two years and was carried out jointly by faculties and students from [[Electronics and Communication Engineering|ECE]] and [[Computer Science and Engineering|CSE]]/[[Information Technology|IT]] departments. The main research groups in this institute are - the Data Communication research group, the [[VLSI]] group.

The Data Communication Research hub, constructed in 2008, is equipped with [[Router (computing)|Routers]], [[Network switch|Switches]], [[Wireless Access Point]] etc. hardware and software including some indigenous [[Networking protocol|protocol]] simulation tools, [[Packet Tracer]] etc. The first director of the Communication Hub was Prof. Debasish Datta, the then Head of E&EC department, [[IIT Kharagpur]]. Under his supervision some faculties and some students gifted the institute a research lab with its own course material and some indigenous protocol [[simulators]]. A number of times the lab has been used by researchers and professors from other institutes for its uniqueness. Research teams, composed of third and fourth year students and guide Professors, still work in the lab. Papers on [[Wireless|Mobile Communication]] have been authored by researchers of this lab which have been published in national and international journals.<ref>{{Cite arXiv |eprint = 0911.0402|last1 = Dogra|first1 = Sudip|title = A Cost Effective RFID Based Customized DVD-ROM to Thwart Software Piracy|last2 = Ray|first2 = Ritwik|last3 = Ghosh|first3 = Saustav|last4 = Bhattacharya|first4 = Debharshi|last5 = Sarkar|first5 = Subir Kr.|class = cs.CR|year = 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |doi = 10.1109/ICWCSC.2010.5415910|isbn = 978-1-4244-5136-4|chapter = A new scheme for management of cinema multiplex system in a cost effective way by using RFID|title = 2010 International Conference on Wireless Communication and Sensor Computing (ICWCSC)|year = 2010|last1 = Dogra|first1 = Sudip|last2 = Ghosh|first2 = Saustav|last3 = Ray|first3 = Ritwik|last4 = Bhattacharya|first4 = Debharshi|last5 = Sarkar|first5 = Subir Kumar|pages = 1–5|s2cid = 6880668}}</ref>

The [[VLSI]] group, working in the Advanced VLSI Design Lab, in the department of Electronics and Communication Engineering has published more than 50 research papers in international journals/conferences.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi=10.1109/TVLSI.2014.2385817| title=Implementation of Subthreshold Adiabatic Logic for Ultralow-Power Application| year=2015| last1=Chanda| first1=Manash| last2=Jain| first2=Sankalp| last3=De| first3=Swapnadip| last4=Sarkar| first4=Chandan Kumar| journal=IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (Vlsi) Systems| volume=23| issue=12| pages=2782–2790| s2cid=29372211}}</ref> Professors working in this lab have written books.<ref>https://www.amazon.ca/Parameter-Modeling-Submicron-Mosfet-Swapnadip/dp/3846522007/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362682979&sr=1-1</ref> The group mainly works on [[CMOS]] ultra low power designs, [[Carbon nanotubes|CNT]] etc.

Design teams from the dept. of ECE has participated in many prestigious design competitions and brought accolades. A team from the VLSI group, led by Prof. Manash Chanda of dept. of Electronics and Communication, ranked within top five positions in an electronic design contest organised by [[Cadence Design Systems|Cadence]] in 2010, and took part in the Symposium organised at [[Noida]]. In 2015, the design of an automatic intelligent [[Irrigation]] system of ECE department's design team 'Xencom', led by Prof. Sudip Dogra, won the runner-up prize at Texas Instruments India Innovation Challenge 2015,<ref>http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/ssqw053/ssqw053.pdf</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu-PBg2Cacs</ref> organised by [[Texas Instruments]]. A [[Startup Company|startup]] named 'Xencom Automation', based on this innovation, is in the process of launching.{{cn|date=September 2021}}

There is a student branch of [[Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers|IEEE]] in MSIT.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://sites.ieee.org/sb-msitceds/ |title = IEEE Electron Device Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology Student Branch Chapter}}</ref>

==Student life==
The institute organises an annual [[Culfest|Cultural fest]] named [[Eutopian Euphorians]] and tech fest Paridhi by technical club Megatronix.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://msitmegatronix.com |title = Megatronix}}</ref> Tech teams from this institute have competed in many tech-fests organised in India. Since 2014, a dedicated Quiz and Personality Development club named "Gnosis" has been started in the institute.{{cn|date=September 2021}}

Annually, the students organise the "Saraswati Puja" and the "Biswakarma Puja" .{{cn|date=September 2021}}
