'''Military Institute of Technology (MILIT),''' [[Pune]] is a tri-services training institution of the [[Ministry of Defence (India)|Ministry of Defence of the Republic of India]]. It trains selected officers of the three services of [[Indian Armed Forces]] and officers from friendly foreign countries for command and staff appointments. It conducts the prestigious '''Defence Services Technical Staff Course (DSTSC)''' for the [[Indian Army]], [[Indian Airforce]] and [[Indian Navy]] Officers. The institute has a faculty of highly qualified senior officers from all three services and renowned scientists who provide specialised training on cutting-edge futuristic technologies, advanced military warfare, latest procurement procedures and operational logistics to the student officers. On successful completion of the course the officers are awarded with a Degree of '''Msc in Military Technology''' from [[Pune University]]. Officers in the service bracket of 9 to 14 years attend this course. Mostly officers attending this course are of the rank of [[Major]] or [[Lt Col]]. Aim of this course is to train these officers for holding senior command and important staff appointments in the future.

== History ==
[[File:MILIT 1965.png|thumb|left|Senior Offrs visited the IAT site at Girinagar]]

The forerunner of MILIT was the Institute of Armament Studies established within the campus of [[College of Military Engineering]] (CME), Dapodi, Pune in 1952. The Institute then was conducting only the Technical Staff Officers' Course for the Army. In the ensuing years, several courses were added to the Institute curriculum based on the needs of the three Services, [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]], DGQA, DAQA and Defence PSUs etc.

In 1967, the institute was renamed as "Institute of Armament Technology" (IAT), which moved into the picturesque location of Girinagar, on the Southern Bank of Khadakwasla Lake; its present location. The institute is spread over {{cvt|496|acre}} in scenic beautiful location, overlooking [[Khadakwasla dam]], in [[Sahyadri|Sahyadri hills]]. From the relatively narrow scope of Armament Studies alone in the Fifties, the role of the institute was considerably enlarged by the Defence R&D Council in 1964 and further in 1981.

On the basis of accreditation by the [[All India Council of Technical Education]] (AICTE), [[Pune University]] recognised eight courses for the award of ME degree in 1982. The institute acquired the status of a Deemed University in 1999. It became autonomous w.e.f. 1 April 2006 and was rechristened as Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT),<ref>{{cite web |last1=DIAT |website=www.diat.ac.in}}</ref> a Deemed to be University (DU). At the same time, thoughts about bifurcating Military Training Wing started mushrooming and same was implemented om 19 Jan 2012.

To have an Institute completely dedicated to the needs of the three Services, a case was initiated to bifurcate MILIT from DIAT (DU).
The major Milestones leading to final formation of MILIT are given subsequently.
