Location
The institute is located in 47 acres of green campus at Munshi Nagar, Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan's
Campus, Andheri (West), Mumbai. The campus also houses three Bhavans Institutions of great
repute namely Bhavans College (the arts, commerce and science college), Sardar Patel College
of Engineering Government aided Engineering college, S.P. Jain Institute of Management and
Research, a management institute.

History
In 1957, the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan conceived the idea of establishing an engineering college
in Mumbai. The Engineering Personnel Committee of the Planning Commission had made
certain recommendations for the establishment of new engineering colleges and polytechnics, in
order to increase the technical manpower in the country. The proposal of the Bhavan to start an
engineering college was favorably received by both the Central and State Governments.
It was on the 19th August 1962 that there was a huge gathering at the Bhavans Campus in
Andheri. There was a mood of joy and festivity as thousands of students, parents and
distinguished men and women from all walks of life came to take part in and witness an
important and memorable function i.e. the inauguration of Sardar Patel College of Engineering
by first and then Prime Minister of independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Kulpati Dr.

K.M. Munshi, the founder of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan trust. In 1995 Self Financed
Engineering Course were added to it and it has been conducting Electronics Engineering,
Computer Engineering and Information Technology Courses from 1995-1996. These courses
have earned a great reputation in the field of engineering education, as well as industry. The
University of Mumbai desired that these self-financed courses be separated and housed in a
separate building and developed as a separate self-financed entity. Thus Bharatiya Vidya
Bhavans Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Unaided Wing from year 2005-2006 is
established in its new building under the name and style of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavans Sardar
Patel Institute of Technology and is affiliated to Mumbai University.
National Board of Accreditation and Washington Accord has given provisional accreditation to
all its U.G courses viz. B.E. Computer, B.E. I.T, B.E. Electronics, B.E. Electronics and
Telecommunication.
