  • History & Memorable Moments

MIT Manipal was established in 1957 as Manipal Engineering College, and renamed in 1974. It was founded by Dr. T. M. A. Pai, the visionary founder of Manipal.It was one of the first privately funded technical institutes in India.[1]

Civil engineering was the first discipline to be offered at the institute, but by 1961, full undergraduate programs were available to students in the areas of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering also. The first hostels (dorms) were established on the campus in 1961 for students from outside the region. The college has steadily grown in size as well as scope since its inception. Today, it has the capability to house most, if not all, of its students on the campus in its fifteen different hostel (dorm) buildings, and can be considered a fully residential campus.[1]

The institute was originally affiliated to the Karnataka University in Dharwad. This meant that the students of the institute were awarded degrees by the Karnataka University. In 1965, the institute affiliated itself with the Mysore University in Mysore. More courses were added over the decades as the college expanded. In 1974, it was renamed and brought under the purview of Mangalore University, and this status would continue until the establishment of MAHE (Now Manipal University) in the late 1990s. Since 2000, the college has been designated a deemed university, a status that allows it to operate autonomously without affiliations to larger universities and charge fees or capitation. Smaller private colleges in India are usually affiliated to larger universities which oversee the academics and award the degrees, like MIT Manipal was in the past.[1]

In 1993, the state government of Karnataka introduced statewide measures regulating the intake of students to private institutes, including MIT Manipal, and this had a tremendous financial impact on the college because it also meant that the fee structure was regulated by the government. The college was designated a Linguistic Minority Institute between 1993 and 1999, which meant that a significant fraction of the intake was reserved for those students whose native tongue was Konkani.[1]
