Overview
About Defence Institute of Advanced Technology
Defence Institute of Advanced Technology is an engineering college in Pune, Maharashtra, established in 1999. It is affiliated to Defence Institute of Advanced Technology. Defence Institute of Advanced Technology holds a NAAC grade of A, valid until 19 December 2027. Defence Institute of Advanced Technology offers 27 programmes at postgraduate level. These include Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence), Aerospace Engineering (Guided Missiles), Aerospace Engineering (UAVs), Mechanical Engineering (Marine Engineering) and Mechanical Engineering (Armament and Combat Vehicles), among others. DIAT is a deemed-to-be university established under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, and is an autonomous Department of Defence, R&D, Ministry of Defence institution. The official publications page reports 297 research publications for 2025, 35 patents granted, 30 patents published/filed, and 7 campus start-ups. The 2024 SSR states that 87.44% of full-time teachers had PhDs and describes campus laboratories and an innovation centre, but does not provide a college-wide laboratory count. No principal is identified on the reviewed official pages; the current named academic head found is Vice Chancellor Dr. BHVS Narayana Murthy. No target-year 2026-27 course-level intake or AICTE EoA was established from the reviewed evidence; because DIAT is a deemed university, recognition is ordinarily evidenced through UGC/deemed-university status rather than an affiliated-college AICTE approval. NBA accreditation is explicitly identified on the official IQAC page for Mechanical Engineering, with the linked 2026 letter available, but programme validity details were not extracted here. DIAT is a deemed-to-be university established under section 3 of the UGC Act, an autonomous organisation under the Department of Defence Research & Development, Ministry of Defence. The target-year 2026-27 official admissions page confirms current postgraduate admissions, but no 2026-27 AICTE EoA course/intake table, AICTE Permanent ID, counselling seat matrix, or fee order was verified in the retrieved sources.
