MIT has embarked on a transformative journey by adopting Academic Autonomy to redesign its curriculum in alignment with the needs of today’s smart generation. While many students enter college with strong academic backgrounds, they often lack the essential study skills and coping mechanisms needed to thrive in the complex academic and social landscape of higher education. A successful learning transformation demands a structured, continuously monitored, and stepwise approach—beginning with a solid foundation laid by the Department of Basic Sciences and Engineering (F.Y. B.Tech.).
The primary objective of the Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities is to serve as a foundational platform for all engineering disciplines offered at the institute. It equips students with essential skills and fundamental knowledge necessary to understand and address complex engineering problems across various domains.
The newly designed curriculum for First-Year B.Tech. students is structured in accordance with the guidelines of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Rooted in the philosophy of engineering education, the institute envisions a four-year academic journey that fosters project-based learning, student engagement, and inclusive education. The Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities offers a wide spectrum of courses aligned with this vision, encompassing scientific, engineering, programming, and mathematical disciplines. These include Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry, Fundamentals of Core Engineering Branches (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Electronics), Programming Languages and Problem Solving, Engineering Graphics, Communication Skills, Indian Knowledge System, Engineering Exploration, and more.
The department is committed to academic excellence, placing strong emphasis on discipline and the implementation of innovative teaching methodologies. First-Year B.Tech. students are encouraged not only to excel academically but also to actively participate in events at institutional, regional, and national levels, thereby promoting their holistic and multifaceted development.
Backed by a dedicated team of over 60 teaching faculty and support staff, the department continuously strives for the overall growth and transformation of its students.

Dear Students,
I am delighted to share that our institute is steadily establishing itself as one of the leading academic institutions in Maharashtra and across the country. The Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities has played a vital role in this progress by aligning its goals with the broader vision of the institute. We are committed to nurturing a strong foundation in scientific knowledge while contributing meaningfully to the advancement of technological innovations.
The department boasts well-established Physics, Chemistry, and Language Laboratories, along with an advanced workshop, designed not only to comprehensively cover the prescribed syllabus but also to inspire students to explore beyond it. This approach fosters a deeper and more complete understanding of the subjects. Our well-experienced and highly qualified faculty members are dedicated to enhancing student learning and advancing research and development.
In addition to their primary teaching responsibilities, faculty members actively contribute to academic enrichment through publications in reputed national and international journals. Furthermore, the newly implemented NEP 2020-based syllabus, introduced from the current academic year, is expected to significantly enhance students’ creative and critical thinking abilities.
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape of science and technology, it has become imperative for all of us to strive diligently to keep pace with the changing times. Our continued success lies in the collective dedication and wholehearted efforts of everyone, pursued with a sense of purpose and joy. To ensure our students are well-prepared for the challenges of higher education in core engineering disciplines, we must remain committed to maintaining excellence in both teaching and research.
I and my First Year Faculty Team will dedicatedly work to nurture budding engineers’ @MIT.
