MIT meaning in Academic & Science ?

Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) is an engineering institute located in Chromepet, Chennai (Madras), India. It is one of the four autonomous constituent colleges (University Departments) of Anna University. It was established in 1949 by Chinnaswami Rajam as the first self-financing engineering institute in the country and later merged with Anna University. The institute gave India new areas of specialization such as aeronautical engineering, automobile engineering, electronics engineering and instrumentation technology. MIT was the first self-financing institute opened in India.

MIT is also the first institute in India to offer postgraduate courses in Avionics and Mechatronics. The institute also has an unusual practice of "T-series": a student mentoring system by senior students.

MIT was started in 1949 and was offering a three-year (undergraduate programme) in Engineering for Science graduates (BSc). During the early years, the institute offered Diploma in Engineering to science graduates (DMIT). Subsequently, on the formation of Anna University in 1978, MIT became one of the constituent institutions of the university and hence, the department has also become a department of Anna University, they started awarding the Degree BTech, three-year Engineering Degree course to (BSc) science graduates. Over the years, the institute has expanded its original programme and now offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Production Engineering, Rubber and Plastics Technology, Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology. The institute accepts students who have passed the 12th board examinations for its four-year undergraduate programme from 1996.
