History

Sri Krishnadevaraya Educational Trust, named after Sri Srikrishnadevaraya, a famous emperor of Vijayanagar Kingdom was established by a team of 19 philanthropists belonging to Raju Kshatriya Community. Most of the members of the Trust who were also called Founder Trustees were engaged in their business as Class-1 Contractors / Builders, Entrepreneurs, Industrialists and Hoteliers have joined together to give back to the society in the form of education, health care and other social welfare activities. The Board of Trustees were prompted to start an Engineering College in 1986, which is named after a well-known Engineer and Statesman, Bharat Ratna-Sir M. Visvesvaraya.

Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology started functioning from the Academic Year 1986-87 with a mere intake of 120 seats in B.E. courses. The active involvement of Board of Trustees resulted in achieving its milestones year after year. At present, the annual intake of Engineering Course alone has gone up to 750 seats. Later, in the Academic Year 1998-1999 a PG Course in MCA was started. The MBA Course was added during 2001-2002 and later, the Institution started conducting PG Courses leading to M.Tech. in Electronics, Mechanical-Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Bio-Technology & Bio-Chemical Engineering.

Today, Sir MVIT has acclaimed as one of the top ranking institutions in the country, with the students strength of nearly 3500 on campus.
