A Vision Built on Innovation
MIT ADT University's journey is guided by the visionary leadership of Founder Dr. Vishwanath Karad, whose philosophy has shaped an academic ecosystem that seamlessly integrates technology, design thinking, research, entrepreneurship, and practical learning. Building on this strong foundation, Prof. Dr. Mangesh T. Karad, Executive President, has further strengthened the university's focus on innovation-led engineering education, global collaborations, industry integration, and student-centric research initiatives.
The institution also benefits from the strategic guidance of Prof. Dr. Sunita Karad, Executive Director, whose continued efforts have played an important role in enhancing academic excellence, institutional development, and holistic student growth.
Today, the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences offers a comprehensive portfolio of future-focused programmes spanning Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Marine Engineering, Bioengineering, Food Technology, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Robotics & Automation, Electric Vehicle Technology, Data Science, Cyber Security, Environmental Engineering, and Smart Manufacturing. Its multi -disciplinary curriculum enables students to explore emerging domains such as Artificial Intelligence, AR/VR, Blockchain, Web3, Drone Technology, Electric Mobility, Industrial Automation, and Sustainable Engineering.
Engineering Innovation Through Experiential Learning
A defining characteristic of MIT ADT University's engineering education is its strong emphasis on experiential learning. Students are encouraged to move beyond conventional classroom instruction and actively engage in solving real-world engineering challenges through project-based learning, innovation platforms, and collaborative research.
“The university has established advanced laboratories, robotics centres, drone labs, automotive workshops, maker spaces, and innovation hubs that provide students with hands-on exposure to emerging technologies. Regular participation in hackathons, design competitions, innovation conferences, startup incubation programmes, and technical exhibitions further strengthens their ability to translate theoretical concepts into practical solutions”, speaks Prof Dr. Mangesh T. Karad, Executive President and Vice Chancellor, MIT-ADT University, Pune.
Industry collaborations and technical partnerships complement this ecosystem by offering internships, certification programmes, live industry projects, and research opportunities that help students build both technical expertise and professional competence.
Student Achievements Reflect Engineering Excellence
MIT ADT University's commitment to applied engineering is reflected in the achievements of its students across national platforms.
One of the most significant accomplishments of 2026 has been Project Garuda, where Aerospace Engineering students successfully designed, developed, and flew one of India's largest radio-controlled electric aircraft. Conceived and executed entirely by students, the project showcased advanced capabilities in aerodynamics, propulsion systems, structural engineering, and electric aviation technologies, earning national recognition for its scale and technical sophistication.
The university's engineering talent has also been showcased in the automotive domain. Team Speed tail Racing secured top honours at Formula Bharat 2026, demonstrating excellence in vehicle dynamics, manufacturing, automotive engineering, and racing technologies. Such achievements highlight the university's emphasis on innovation, teamwork, design excellence, and engineering problem-solving under competitive conditions.
Beyond aerospace and automotive engineering, the university's Marine Engineering programme continues to gain recognition for preparing students for global maritime careers through advanced technical simulations, industry-oriented training, and comprehensive exposure to marine systems, ship operations, engine technologies, maritime safety, and onboard engineering practices.
Preparing Engineers for Tomorrow's Economy
