History
After the slavery of nearly two centuries when our country got independence, our economy was in wretched position. The builders of the nation realized the necessity of rapid industrialization of the country. For boosting it, facilities for technical education was essential and hence engineering institutions started coming up throughout the country in fifties.
M.I.T. came into existence on 25th September 1954, just seven years after independence of India. It was inaugurated by Sri C.P.N. Sinha, then governor of East Punjab. Initially it was started with Civil Engineering descipline with a batch of 45 students as 1954-55 batch with the name ‘College of Civil Engineering, Muzaffarpur’.
On 21st April 1956 the first prime minister of India Pd. Jawaharlal Nehru laid down the foundation stone of main building. Electrical & Mechanical Engineering branches were added from session 1960-61 and the institute was renamed as Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology. Pharmacy and Leather Technology were added in 1978 and 1986 respectively. Information Technology and Electronics and Communication Engineering disciplines were introduced in 2001.

Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology (MIT), Muzaffarpur, is one of the oldest and most prestigious technical institutions in eastern India. Established in 1954, our reputed institute operates under Science, Technology and Technical Education Department, Government of Bihar, and is fully funded by the state government. With a rich legacy and glory of more than 70 years our institute produces skilled engineers, with the motto, “Work is above everything else”. The institute is affiliated with Bihar Engineering University, Patna, offering undergraduate programs in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science and Engineering, Chemical and leather Technology, Applied Science & Humanities, Biomedical and Robotics Engineering, Pharmacy. For encouraging research among the students of various engineering discipline, our institute offers two postgraduate programs in Civil (Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering), two in Mechanical (Thermal Engineering , Machine Design), Electrical (Electrical Energy System), and Electronics (Advanced Electronics and Communication Engineering). Moreover, MIT Muzaffarpur also shares its huge and glorious history of its active Alumni Network for carrying out the various sessions like ISTE, Alumni Meet, Workshops, Placements, Webinars, and others for encouraging the vibrant minds.
