The 1980s saw a revolution happening in Maharashtra’s education sector.
Sensing the need for more number of seats for students opting for engineering, Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad, who was then working as a Professor at College of Engineering, Pune, pioneered the cause of private education and on August 5, 1983, started MIT, the first private engineering college in the state.
Our Beginning
It was sheer kind cooperation of many that they saw Dr Karad’s struggle and dedication and came forward to help out in the formative days, some by sharing classrooms and some by giving office space. MIT World Peace University (MIT WPU) is a culmination of a vision to re-establish India’s position as a ‘Vishwa Guru’, which means ‘The Teacher of the World’. MIT WPU draws inspiration from original and highly ranked Indian Education Practices as followed by ‘Takshashila’- the World’s First Global University and endeavors to set new benchmarks in the field of Global Education. MIT WPU carries forward the rich heritage and learning pedagogy from MAEER’s MIT-Group of Institutions that was founded in 1983 under the able leadership of Prof. Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad. This legacy is now continued by MIT WPU which was honored with a State University status in 2017- established under Govt. of Maharashtra Act No. XXXV 2017 and recognized by University Grants Commission.
About MIT WPU
Witnessing a rapid growth & expansion in terms of uniquely designed Educational Programmes conducted by MIT Group across 10+ campuses across India covering 1000+ acres of area with world class infrastructure and amenities, our Founders have now embarked upon a journey to make their Vision of ‘Attaining World Peace through Education’ a reality.
