Greetings to All
The Mohammed Haji Saboo Siddik Institute (a Minority Institute) owes its existence to the munificence of the late Mohammed, son of Haji Saboo Siddik, who bequeathed a large sum of money for establishing, conducting and managing the Institute for imparting Vocational, Technical and Industrial Training and Education. Subsequently, when the concept of technical high school took shape, a sum of Rupees One Lakh was also received from the assets of his mother, Bai Jimba Bai, after whom one of the buildings has been named in the premises of the Institute.
Originally, the Institute was founded in the year 1936 as a trade school with the object of turning out artisans in some industrial arts and crafts. A major reorganization in its curriculum took place in the year 1945. In 1958, a three-year Diploma program in Civil Engineering was started and five years later, two more Diploma program in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering were added. To cope up with the increasing demand, from 1981 the Polytechnic has increased the intake capacity from 120 to 180 students. Taking into consideration, the development in Industrial Electronics in Maharashtra and Mumbai in particular, the Polytechnic started three- year Diploma in Industrial electronics from the academic year 1981-82. From the academic year 1987-88, the polytechnic has started three Year Diploma in Computer Engineering. A three-year Diploma in Information Technology & Mechanical Engineering (Un-Aided) has been approved and sanctioned by AICTE, New Delhi from the year 2000-01, 2010-11 respectively. In the year 2000 the polytechnic was awarded as “Best Polytechnic with a cash prize of One Lakh” from Chief Minister, Govt. of Maharashtra. In the year 2018-19 the polytechnic got NBA accreditation and based on the performance the aided seats were increased from 180 to 240. In line with this objective, the institute has assured the quality in technical education by continuous up-gradation of facilities and infrastructure along with the effort to appoint qualified & eligible teachers. We have ISTE chapter, CSI chapter for students.
