MIT Institute of Design, is a premier centre for Design education, practice and research in India. The institute has driven new ways of design thinking, since its establishment in 2006.

Being a pioneer in the dissemination of modern design education in India, the institute has nurtured many design talents. The institute offers a diverse range of design programmes at the Undergraduate (4 years) and Post Graduate (2 years) levels with 1000+ students pursuing programmes in Industrial, Communication & Fashion design disciplines. With more than 60+ teaching staff, as active professional designers and practitioners, MIT ID focuses on leading the way in creative and experimental practices that enhance the growth of the design doers. The amalgamation of a varied student group and highly experienced staff help the institute in creating a unique and multifaceted learning experience for the learners.

MITID has successfully transitioned into being a constituent of MIT ART, DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY established by the Government of Maharashtra through ACT XXXIV 2015. With a decade-plus of excellence and pursuit of one of our future aspirations, MIT Institute of Design with 1300+ creative minds on campus and 1000+ alumni professionals have added a further dimension to the programmes of design learning at our campus. The learners and faculty mentors have registered their presence by winning awards in various categories at national & international levels, including the prestigious 2 Red dot awards won by our alumni and more than 20 design registrations. MIT Institute of Design is working closely with the national & international design community, being a member of CUMULUS, WDO (World Design Organization) and collaborations with more than 10 reputed Universities across the world. The concept of the Design Habitat is a logical and organic extension of our stated philosophy that ensures a total generalist ambience to enable design learning. It would evolve as an overarching concept around the functional framework of the Design Institute which remains an integral component of Habitat. It is in this kind of stimulating and inspirational environment that mentors from various design-related disciplines are invited to interact with the design learners and challenge their young minds to explore newer territories that should complement and reinforce their ongoing design learning. The mentors ensure that the level of interaction is such that it eventually leads to learning that is comprehensive, sustained and focused in-depth, and directly or indirectly design related.
