In 1903, in affiliation with Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute, the Diploma program began.</B></div><div><B>It was Principal Chhotalal Harjivandas Vora who served the erstwhile KTI [Kalabhavan Technical Institute] for longest tenure as principal - 1908 to 1935 - credited to steer the growth of KTI to engineering college and developed blue print of development. Following the end of world war II, the actual development commenced with erstwhile Baroda State providing Rs.25 lac in 1945 led construction of building annex to KTI built in 1917 to begin degree program.</B></div><div><B>In 1948 Degree program of 31/2 year duration in [Mechanical & Electrical] began.From 1952 the two degree were separated with each of three year duration. To maintain need for electromechanical engineers by industries, a supplementary degree of one year duration was offer to electrical and mechanical engineering degree holders. This scheme was discontinued in 1967.</B></div><div><B>In 1958 post graduate program in Internal Combustion Engineering was launched. In 1964 post graduate program in Production Engineering and post graduate diploma in Refrigeration and air-conditioning were started.</B></div><DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV><div><I><B>Mechanical Engineering Department -
