History
This institute was founded in 1960 at Elphinstone Technical School, Mumbai, with a Civil Engineering Department. In 1985, the institute acquired the existing campus at Bandra, Mumbai. After acquiring the new campus, new programs were introduced. Programs like Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering were added in 1988, and immediately the next year, the Mechanical Engineering program was introduced, and many other programs were added in the coming years.[1]
The institute implemented World Bank-assisted projects from 1990 to 1998. The main motive behind this project was capacity expansion, quality, and efficiency improvement. The institute was awarded autonomy in 1990, thus allowing the institute to design, develop, and implement its own curriculum and issue its own diploma.
The college received the Narsee Monjee Award for Best Performance in 1999 by ISTE. The college also got accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for five diploma programs in 2003.
