SAMRAT ASHOK TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE

Samrat Ashok Technological Institute (SATI) is a Grant-in-Aid Autonomous college situated in Vidisha, a town in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It was established on 1 November 1960 by Maharaja Jiwajirao Scindia under the Maharaja Jiwaji Rao Education Society, with funding from the Gangajali Trust and grants from the Government of India and Madhya Pradesh. The institute began with degree courses in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering and has since expanded to offer nine full-time and six part-time undergraduate B.E./B.Tech programs, along with sixteen postgraduate courses in Engineering, Science, and Management. The campus spans 85 acres and includes six hostels, a dispensary, a cooperative store, a bank, and other facilities. SATI is academically and administratively autonomous but has been affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV), Bhopal since 1998, which issues its degrees. The institute is also approved as a research center for Ph.D. programs by RGPV and Barkatullah University, and it received NAAC certification in March 2016. It was selected under the World Bank's TEQIP-III scheme for financial assistance to enhance academic excellence.
