About MAHARAJA'S TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE

Maharaja’s Technological Institute (MTI), Thrissur, stands as a beacon of technical excellence and is historically recognized as the oldest polytechnic institute in Kerala. Established in 1946 by the Maharaja of Cochin, the institution was initially conceived as a training center for war technicians during World War II. Over the decades, it has evolved into a premier government-run polytechnic college under the administrative control of the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Kerala. Located in the heart of Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala, the campus spans approximately 8 acres and provides a serene yet technologically vibrant environment for over 900 students. The institute is committed to providing value-based quality education, aiming to mould technically competent professionals who can serve society effectively. MTI Thrissur offers three-year Diploma programs in five core engineering disciplines: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical & Electronics, Electronics, and Computer Engineering. All courses are approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and affiliated with the State Board of Technical Education, Kerala. The institution is renowned for its academic rigor, consistently bagging top ranks in state-level examinations and inter-polytechnic arts and sports festivals. With a dedicated team of over 130 staff members, the college emphasizes hands-on practical training, ensuring students are industry-ready upon graduation. The legacy of MTI is reflected in its vast alumni network, many of whom occupy prestigious positions globally. The institute continues to modernize its infrastructure, recently adding new blocks for Mechanical and Civil engineering to accommodate evolving educational needs.
