Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Technology

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Technology (SVIT), Vasad, is a private technical institute situated on the banks of the Mahi River in Gujarat, India. The institute offers a range of undergraduate and graduate-level technical education programs.^[1]

History

The New English School Trust (NEST) founded SVIT with the vision of establishing a self-financed degree engineering college. The college was named in honor of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a revered leader from the region. Prof. Shantibhai Amin, a philanthropic administrator, was appointed as the chairman of the Board of Management, which included prominent technocrats, educationists, industrialists, social workers, and business leaders from Vasad.

In 1997, SVIT sought approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and affiliation from Gujarat University, Ahmedabad. Initially, the institute offered three conventional engineering disciplines: Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering, each with an intake of 60 students. Over the years, SVIT expanded its offerings to include Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication Engineering, and a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) program.^[1]
