The department was established in 1999, with a sanctioned intake of 60 for the undergraduate Bachelors programme. Over the years, we have been striving hard pursuing our vision to become a centre of excellence, by upgrading the qualifications of the faculty, promoting research and developing the infrastructure. In 2010 the sanctioned intake was increased to 120 for the undergraduate Bachelors programme. Slowly but steadily we have grown by introducing the postgraduate Masters programme in 2012 and Doctoral programme in 2015. The UG programme was provisionally accredited for a period of two years from August 2012. The University of Mumbai has granted the institute permanent affiliation in 2015. We are placed amongst the top six institutes in the University as far as the results of first year of engineering are concerned.

Our teaching faculty is constantly climbing the academic ladder and over the years, three of the four professors in the department have been sponsored by the institute and completed their doctoral programmes successfully. They regularly interact with the university, government organizations, other universities and institutes. Five faculty members are currently pursuing their doctoral programme, and five faculty members have successfully completed their masters' programme sponsored by the institute.
