Diploma In Mechanical Engineering (UnAided)

Diploma In Mechanical Engineering (UnAided) | DIPMechEngUnAIded

Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is a three year aided diploma programme with minimum eligibility SSC. The Mechanical Engineering Department started functioning in 1963 with an initial intake of 40 seats. Later in 1966 the intake was raised to 60. Department was given autonomy by the Government of Maharashtra in 1994.

We offer a three years diploma which is divided in six semesters. The curriculum is designed as per the feedback of stakeholders. The conducive environment at Somaiya Vidyavihar, excellent indoor and outdoor facilities supplemented by industrial visits and expert lectures help our students to develop their overall personality. Greenery in campus,sports facilities help in shaping the overall personality of students. Mechanical Engineering Department has been the preferred choice of students over the years in Mumbai region Faculty are encouraged to acquire knowledge and skills by improving qualification and attending industrial & other training so that their learning benefits students and institute development. Our alumni at higher ranks in industry and entrepreneurs are the proof of our success.
