Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) is a premier engineering institute located in Chennai, India. It is one of the four independent departments of the Anna University. MIT is Alma Mater to several significant Indian personalities including Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam,The President of India (7/2002- ). MIT was established by Shri C.Rajam in July 1949, with the motto of "In the Service of India". Visit to know more about the history of MIT.
It has eight internal engineering departments,viz.Aeronautical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Production Technology, Computer Sciences, Information Technology, Electronics, Instrumentation and Rubber & Plastics Technology.
The institute focused on niche courses from its very inception. It was the first institute in India to have specialised courses (e.g. Instrumentation Engineering & Aeronautical Engineering). It is also the only college in India that offers a Post Graduate Engineering degree in Avionics.
Computer Sciences & Information Technology were started only recently, keeping in mind the increased demand for IT courses in India.
Admission into the institute happens through the TNPCEE, although the situation might change next year.
The institute attracts the top talent in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Placements are near 100%, with Instrumentation Engg. usually topping the list.
Prominent alumni of this institute include Honorable President Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, Sujatha & K B Chandrashekhar (founder of jamcracker.com & exodus.com)
The annual festival of the institute is called Mitafest. Each department has its own festival, in addition to the musical festivals Sivaranjani & Hamsadhwani
In 1949,Shri.C.Rajam, gave the newly independent India-Madras Institute of Technology, so that MIT could establish the strong technical base it needed to take its place in the world. It was the rare genius and daring of its founder that made MIT offer courses like Aeronautical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Electronics Engineering and Instrument Technology for the first time in our country. Now it also provides technical education in other engineering fields such as Rubber and Plastic Technology & Production Technology. It was merged with Anna University in the year 1978. Sixty years hence, while it continues to be a pioneer in courses that it gave birth to, it is already renowned for producing the crème de la crème of the scientific community in more nascent courses such as Computer Science and Information Technology
MIT has produced great scientist like Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, versatile genius like Sujatha and many more. Presently the Vice Chancellor, Registrar of Anna University and the Dean of MIT are all alumni of MIT. The broad-based education, coupled with practice-oriented training in their speciality, has enabled the students of MIT to handle with skill and success a wide variety of technical problems. The Madras Institute of Technology has developed into an important centre of engineering education and earned an excellent reputation both in India and abroad.MIT had received many awards which includes an award for the Best Overall Performance, awarded by Indian Society of Technical Education (ISTE) during the year 1999.
VISION
Madras Institute of Technology shall strive towards becoming a world class institution by producing professionals with a high technical knowledge, professional skills and ethical values. We shall be the preferred partner to the industry and community for our contribution towards their economic and social development by providing high quality manpower through excellence in teaching, research and consultancy.
Madras Institute of Technology shall be recognized as a point of reference, a catalyst, a facilitator, a trend-setter and a leader in technical education.
