Manipal Institute of Technology is a private engineering college under Manipal Academy of Higher Education in India.

The Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Manipal, was established in 1957 as one of the first self-financing engineering colleges in the country. MIT is a constituent unit of Manipal Academy of Higher Education.

The institute has 18 academic departments and awards undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate degrees.[1] The MIT campus is spread over 313 acres of what once used to be a desolate plateau of hard, laterite rock in southern Karnataka's Udupi district. The institute undertakes sponsored research programs supported by funding agencies such as DST, CSIR, AICTE, and the Ministry of Environmental Sciences. It has collaborative research programs in association with premier research laboratories and institutes in India and abroad.[3] In 2018, Government of India had awarded it as Institute of Eminence.[4]
