Maharashtra Institute of Technology University of Meghalaya is a private university in Shillong, Meghalaya, whose statutory roots lie in the University of Technology and Management Act, 2010. The Act received the Governor's assent on 30 December 2010 and was published in January 2011. UGC records 27 May 2011 as the establishment or gazette-notification date. The institution was originally known as the University of Technology and Management and later adopted its present name. The founding legislation created the university for education, training and research across applied sciences, technology, management, medicine, fashion and design, law and related fields. That broad mandate allowed the university to develop as a multidisciplinary institution rather than a narrowly technical college. The university's current identity is associated with the MIT education group, while its Shillong location places it within Meghalaya's growing private-university sector and the wider North-East higher-education environment. UGC records the university as Maharashtra Institute of Technology University of Meghalaya, formerly University of Technology and Management. The state regulatory board lists it among recognized private universities in Meghalaya, with its permanent-campus development associated with the Mawkasiang area of New Shillong. Its institutional history therefore includes a 2010 legislative foundation, a 2011 establishment phase, subsequent UGC inspection and later rebranding under the MIT name. Through these transitions, the university has retained the original statutory goal of combining technology and management with other professional and creative disciplines. The university is one of Meghalaya's statutory private universities and operates within the state's dedicated private-university regulatory framework. Its original Act explicitly envisioned a multidisciplinary institution spanning technology, management, medicine, design and law. The founding statutory mandate covered applied sciences, technology, management, medicine, fashion and design, law and related studies. 2011 — The institution began its statutory phase as the University of Technology and Management in Shillong.
