Our History
In 1957, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan conceived the idea of establishing an engineering college in Mumbai. This vision was realized with the inauguration of Sardar Patel College of Engineering (SPCE) on 19 August 1962.
In 1995, self-financed engineering programmes were introduced under the unaided wing of SPCE, offering undergraduate programmes in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering and Information Technology. A Master’s programme in Electronics Engineering was offered from 2005 to 2008. These programmes earned an excellent reputation in engineering education as well as in industry.
In 2005, the unaided wing was established in its dedicated building under the name Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT). Since then, SPIT has continued to grow as a premier engineering institute while remaining affiliated with the University of Mumbai.
