Maharaja’s Technological Institute is the oldest Polytechnic in Kerala State. Located in the heart of Thrissur, the polytechnic evolved from a war technicians training centre and this was established by the Govt. of India during World War II. In 1946, this training centre was named as Maharaja’s Technological Institute and diploma courses in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering were started in 1947-48. Later on in 1991-92 and 1998-99 Electronics Engineering and Computer Engineering diploma courses also began in this institution. When the Directorate of Technical Education was formed under Govt. of Kerala, the Institution came under the administrative control of the Directorate.
