What Muthoot Institute of Technology and Science does

Muthoot Institute of Technology and Science (MITS) is a self-financing autonomous technical institution located in the industrial suburb of Kochi, Kerala, India, established in May 2013 and promoted by Muthoot M. George Institute of Technology, a Section 25 Company within the Muthoot Group. The institution offers undergraduate B.Tech programs (intake of approximately 720+ seats annually across CSE, CSE-AI, AI & Data Science, Cyber Security, ECE, EEE, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering), postgraduate M.Tech programs in AI & Data Science and Cyber Security, an MCA program, and an M.Tech AI & Data Science variant for working professionals. It holds 5 NBA accreditations, UGC and AICTE compliance, NIRF participation, and achieved autonomous status in 2026.

The institution operates a technology stack centered on engineering education with specialization in AI & Data Science, Cyber Security, and traditional engineering disciplines. Research infrastructure includes a Centre of Excellence with Siemens Ltd (automation and drives), an RF Lab with Keysight Inc (electronics and communication), and the CIDRIE centre for industrial consultancy and interdisciplinary research. AI curriculum covers computer vision, NLP, generative AI, autonomous agents, and predictive analytics, with student and faculty projects including SignVision (AI video generation for deaf learners), HeartoHelp (multilingual AI voice kiosk), multi-agentic LLM systems, and AI-based medical imaging for leprosy detection.

The business model is tuition-driven, with 50% of seats filled through CEE Kerala centralized counseling at government-regulated fees, 50% through institute-managed admission (including NRI quota), and 5% under AICTE's Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme. Ancillary revenue includes campus placement services connecting students to corporate recruiters (40+ partners including TCS, Amazon, IBM, HSBC, UST, Wipro) and minor consultancy income via CIDRIE. The institution serves primarily engineering students and corporate employers seeking technical talent, with geographic concentration in South India and 2,060+ alumni across 9 graduating batches.
