Convocation Procession
The Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, (DIAT) as it is known today, came into being as the Institute of Armament Studies in 1952 in the CME campus. In 1967, the Institute was renamed as "Institute of Armament Technology, (IAT)", which moved to its present location at Girinagar, Pune, spread over 496 acres in scenic beautiful location, overlooking Khadakwasla Lake, in Sahyadri hills. From the relatively narrow scope of armament studies since inception, the role of the Institute was considerably enlarged by the Defence R&D Council in 1964 and further in 1981. On the basis of accreditation by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), Pune University recognized eight courses of DIAT for the award of ME degree in 1980. In the year 2000, the Institute acquired the status of a Deemed University. IAT was renamed as DIAT w.e.f. 1 April 2006.
