MIT Group of Institutions initiated the revolutionary spread of technical education in Maharashtra, facilitating quality education to a knowledge-deprived society which was then dependent on very few Government Engineering Institutions. Maharashtra Institute of Technology, the flagship establishment of the MIT Group of Institutions was established in the year 1983, under the trust called MAEER, an acronym for "Maharashtra Academy of Engineering and Educational Research.” MIT, Pune is one of the first nine private Engineering institutions in Maharashtra. It's a dream come true of a simple and dedicated teacher Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad, Founder of MIT Group who coveted that quality education should reach the masses and be made available to every merit holder irrespective of one's class, creed or religion.
