MIT (established with the name College of Civil Engineering, Muzaffarpur) began on 25 September 1954 with one discipline: [[Civil Engineering]].
Committee recommended the establishment of higher technical institutions in India, along the lines of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and consulting from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign along with affiliated secondary institutions. The report urged that work should start with the speedy establishment of major institutions in the four quarters of the country with the ones in the east and the west to be set up immediately
It was inaugurated by C.P.N. Singh, [[governor]] of then East Punjab (now [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], [[Haryana]] and parts of [[Himachal Pradesh]]). The first [[Prime Minister]] of [[India]] [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] laid the foundation of the main building on 21 April 1956. [[Mechanical Engineering]] and [[Electrical Engineering]] disciplines were added in 1960 and the institute was renamed as Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology. [[Pharmacy]] and Leather Technology were added in 1978 and 1986 respectively. [[Information Technology]] and Electronics and Communication Engineering disciplines were introduced in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mitmuzaffarpur.org/intro.asp |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2007-12-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071221013129/http://www.mitmuzaffarpur.org/intro.asp |archivedate=2007-12-21 }} ''Retrieved on 21/12/2007''</ref> In December 2008, the government of [[Bihar]] declared that MIT would be developed into a model [[College of Engineering|engineering college]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.bihartimes.com/Newsbihar/2008/Dec/Newsbihar02Dec6.html | title=MIT would be made a model institute | date=2 December 2008 | work=Bihar Times | accessdate=26 September 2018 }}</ref>

==Academics==
===Admission===
From 2019 onwards, admissions will be based on national [[Joint Entrance Examination – Main]] merit list. Students who want to enroll must appear at the exam that is conducted by [[National Testing Agency]].

Earlier Undergraduate admissions were done through the [[Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board)]]. The entrance examination was held in two stages: First stage was the screening test or preliminary test. The screened candidates had to appear in the main examination (second stage). Based on the merit list in the second stage, successful candidates were allotted seats in different engineering colleges of Bihar.

Admission to postgraduate programmes is based upon score and rank in [[Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering]] (GATE) conducted by IITs/IISc.

===University affiliation===
Formerly it was affiliated to BABASAHEB BHIMRAO AMBEDKAR BIHAR UNIVERSITY (BRABU) But Later from 2010
MIT is affiliated to [[Aryabhatta Knowledge University]], [[Patna]].

===Degree programs===

MIT has the following branches at the undergraduate [[Bachelor of Technology]] level. The number of seats available in each discipline is given in parentheses:
* [[Civil Engineering]] (60)
* [[Mechanical Engineering]] (60)
* [[Electrical Engineering]] (60)
* Electronics and Communication Engineering (40)
* [[Information Technology]] (40)
* Leather Technology (30)

====Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.)====
* [[Bachelor of Pharmacy]] (60)

==== Master of Technology ====
At the postgraduate [[M.Tech]] level MIT has the following branches:
* Machine Design (under the department of [[Mechanical Engineering]]) (18 full-time + 4 part-time)
* Thermal Engineering (under the department of [[Mechanical Engineering]]) (18 full-time + 5 part-time)
* Manufacturing Technology (under the department of [[Mechanical Engineering]]) (18 full-time )

Facilities for [[Ph.D.]] research exist in all departments.

==Student life==

===Hostels===
There are seven boys hostels having a capacity to accommodate 1400 students and one girls hostel (the Golden Jubilee Girls Hostel) with a capacity to accommodate 200 students.hostel -01(damodar hostel) was constructed in 1952 before college main building was constructed.
