The Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT) has become the first private engineering institute in Marathwada to get accreditation from the National Board of Accreditation (NBA).

Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, MIT director Dr Santosh Bhosale said that two branches B Tech-Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science Engineering received NBA accreditation for three years.
