MAEER’s Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT), established in 1983, is today amongst the top engineering colleges in India. An initial step was taken by a great visionary Dr. Vishwanath D Karad who nurtured a strong conviction to provide the best of Education to the society. The group has grown leaps and bounds since then. MAEER’s Maharashtra Institute of Technology Prof. (Dr.) V. D. Karad Founder & Executive President MAEER’s MIT, Pune Late Prof. M. V. Joshi First HoD of Polymer Dept . Prof. (Dr.) Kiran D Patil HoD of Polymer Dept. Polymer Students Association PSA was started with the objective to develop a long-term association with the industry and to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. It facilitates to increase awareness among the students about the advances made in the field of polymer engineer- ing and science and to provide exposure to the upcoming areas of research. PSA organizes various events such as guest lectures by eminent personalities from industry, research and academ- ia and national level events such as seminars, workshops etc. as a part of its activity. Polymer Engineering Department Polymer Engineering Department came into existence in the year 1983 as a part of Maharashtra Institute of Technol- ogy, Pune. It is the only institute offering an Undergraduate and Post Graduate course as well as Research Center in Polymer Engineering under the aegis of Pune University. The department is accredited by NBA, New Delhi.

MIT is recognized by All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi. Our alumni base has spread all over the world and is cater- ing to the needs of polymer industry for the past thirty years at various key positions. This event is an opportunity to develop a strong network between us for mutual benefits. Looking into the merits, this event is supported by various well known industries. During this event, delegates from industry, academia and research organizations gather to discuss current issues, market scenario, entrepreneurial trends and potential de- velopments in the field of polymers. Students from various renowned institutes from different parts of the country participate in the paper presentation competition. Over a period of several years this event has strengthened our bond with polymer fraternity across the country.
