Similarly, for the learners of Transportation Design, the courses of study exclusively explores an inborn human need, and a propensity, to devise appropriate means for enhancing human mobility. Beginning with the concept of transporting people and commodities using a variety of means, its emphasis would vary from individual to collective carriers, from human and animal power to fossil fuel power, from the conventional and non-renewable energy sources to non-conventional and renewable variety. Considerations for physical environments within and outside a transport vehicle also form a crucial aspect of learning. Learners’ innovative ability is challenged further when the scope of a transport vehicle is extended from land, water to air even space. Eligibility: 10+2 from any stream, students appearing for 10+2 in March/April are also eligible.
The famous Rajbaug farms spread over a vast area of 125 acres on the beautiful banks of the Mula-Mutha river at Loni-Kalbhor, Pune, belonged to the legendary showman of Indian Cinema - Late Raj Kapoor. Rajbaug was formally handed over to Hon'ble Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad, Executive President and Director General, MAEER on 4th August 2002, by the Kapoor Family. This place was a resting place for the late showman who found high solace here and had wished that the land be used for social or educational purpose only. To fulfill his dream, this land will be developed into a large educational campus while still retaining its original serenity. This picturesque area exudes peace and tranquility and seems more closer to Mother Nature in spite of being located in close proximity of the busy Pune-Solapur Highway. It can be the only place for the ‘Sadhana’, the seeking of knowledge. Facilitites:- Library:- MIT Institute of Design Library is one of the premier design libraries in India.
