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.

For the learners of the two disciplines of Animation Design and Film and Video Design, the courses of study exclusively deal with moving images. Both have as their foundation, extensive inputs from the discipline of Graphic Design. The learners of Animation Design must acquire special skills and techniques of animation, both manual and computerized. Here the essential grasp over the narrative content combined with proficiency with animation techniques goes toward creating an effective piece of communication. Eligibility: 10+2 from any stream, students appearing for 10+2 in March/April are also eligible.
Courses in Film and Video Design also put emphasis on a strong narrative content, which is to be communicated by achieving proficiency in using tool like film and video cameras, editing systems, along with building rigour in conceptual processes in addressing the communication needs of the social and commercial sectors. Eligibility: 10+2 from any stream, students appearing for 10+2 in March/April are also eligible.
Those who enter the Graphic Design discipline, find that the course of study are centered on various dimensions of graphic communication. This would include typography and type design, illustration and photography, packaging and print design, sign age and corporate identity systems. The application of Information Technology would take learners in fields of computer graphics, multimedia and web design. Eligibility: 10+2 from any stream, students appearing for 10+2 in March/April are also eligible.
For those who opt for the Interior Space and Equipment Design, the courses of study though structured on the same lines as those for Product Design would eventually include the contents that are entirely devoted to organizing and planning of interior spaces for all kinds of human needs. Eligibility: 10+2 from any stream, students appearing for 10+2 in March/April are also eligible.
The Product Design learners find that in the various courses of study they pursue, they must exhibit an overly emphasis on a comprehensive process of designing, producing and marketing products, systems and services. These products, systems and services as a rule, are to be used in homes, workplaces, institutions places of leisure and outdoor spaces for public interaction.
Eligibility: 10+2 from any stream, students appearing for 10+2 in March/April are also eligible.
The learners of Retail and Exhibition Design find that the courses of study, besides concentrating on a rigorous learning of advanced graphic reproduction techniques, would also require them to gain an insight into creating images in the fourth dimension that is, moving images. It is here that the courses specific to this discipline make learners literally ‘build bridges across the streams’. This is because solving a typical problem of display design invariably leads to designing exhibition, structures and hardware of various kinds as well as planning of built spaces to provide an appropriate environment for communication. Related inputs across the stream from the disciplines of Product Design and Interior Space and Equipment Design are welcomed in the true spirit of generalism. Eligibility: 10+2 from any stream, students appearing for 10+2 in March/April are also eligible.
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.
