Over the last 53 years, around 39,000 engineers and scientists have graduated from the institute.
The first academic session of the Institute was opened on 25 July 1958, in its temporary home at the Synthetic and Art Silk Mills Research Association (SASMIRA) building in Worli with 100 students.
These students were selected from over 3,400 applicants for admission to the first year undergraduate engineering programmes of Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Engineering Physics, Energy, Mechanical, Metallurgical Engineering and MSc Chemistry.
One of the main objectives of establishing the Institute was to develop facilities for studies in a variety of specialised engineering and technological sciences.
