History
This institute was created by the Board of Technical Education, Maharashtra State, India. Government of Maharashtra granted initial funding and started 3-year Diploma in Engineering courses. In the initial years, the institute did not have its own building and classrooms. They used College of Engineering, Pune premises to conduct classes. Later, in the early 1960s, they acquired land from the Shirole (Patil) family and constructed the current building.
The institute also owns its own boat club next to College of Engineering, Pune. They have a fleet of many boats for students to practice and participate in an annual race called Regatta. Many past students have enjoyed this rare opportunity to go on boat rides at the junction of the two rivers, "Mula" and "Mutha".
