  ## History
  
  The idea of building an institute in Ujjain was conceived by Prasar Shikshan Evam Seva Sansthan (PSSS) with the aim to transform young talent into competent and socially responsible professionals with a global vision. Mahakal Institute of Technology (MIT Ujjain) was inaugurated by the then Hon’ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Mr. Digvijay Singh on 26 July 2001.
  
  In the academic session of 2001-02 MIT, Ujjain began with just 220 students and few faculty members in the varied streams. The institute then had only four branches of Engineering: Electronics and Telecommunication, Computer Science, Information Technology and Electrical and Electronics. Mahakal Group of Commerce offers some online courses in finance and accounting.
