History

A Journey of Excellence: Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering & Technology

Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering & Technology commenced its journey on August 31, 2001, under the affiliation of MG University, Kottayam. Initially, the institute welcomed 180 students across four undergraduate programs: Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Information Technology (IT), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE), and Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE).

In 2004, the School of Management Studies (MBA) was established, admitting 60 students with specializations in Marketing Management, Human Resource Management, Financial Management, and International Business. The institute also introduced electives in contemporary management fields such as business analytics, logistics, entrepreneurship management, and digital marketing. The same year, the National Techno Cultural Festival "Brahma – Awaken the Creator Within" was launched.

A landmark event in 2005 was the visit by the Hon. President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. That year, the first batch of engineering students graduated with excellent records and placements, with five students securing university ranks. The Applied Electronics & Instrumentation program and the Mechanical Engineering program were introduced in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Industry collaborations with Infosys began in 2006, followed by TCS in 2008.

In 2010, the institute launched postgraduate programs starting with M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering. Dr. Kalam visited again that year to inaugurate the SHREIS Research Centre. In 2012, M.Tech programs in VLSI & Embedded Systems and Power Electronics & Power Systems were started. The following year, the M.Tech in Communication Engineering and the B.Tech program in Civil Engineering were launched. 

Google recognized ASIET as an Institute Partner in 2014, coinciding with the establishment of the Innovation and Entrepreneur Development Cell (IEDC) under the Kerala Start-Up Mission (KSUM). In 2015, the institute shifted its affiliation from MG University to APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University and launched the APJ Abdul Kalam Innovation Award. The Adi Shankara Young Scientist Award was initiated in 2016. 

In 2017, a state-of-the-art Digital Fab Lab was inaugurated, and a solar power plant was installed on campus. In 2018, four of its programs (CSE, ECE, EEE and ME) were accredited by the NBA. The same year, ASIET received the State Government’s Best IEDC award and became a recognized research center with the commencement of Ph.D courses.

In 2019, the institute signed collaboration agreements with Glasgow University and the University of Cambridge, UK, establishing a Disaster Management Centre with Glasgow University. In 2020, an ASAP Skill Development Centre was set up to offer value-added courses, along with a Hi-Tech lab for online courses and technical sessions in association with ASAP and ICT Academy. A Technology Business Incubation (TBI) Centre funded by Kerala State Industrial Development Centre (KSIDC) was also established. Two new B.Tech programs in Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence) and Robotics & Automation were introduced. His Excellency Shri Venkaiah Naidu, the Hon. Vice President of India, inaugurated the Adi Shankara Digital Academy (ASDA).

In 2021, ASIET hosted Asia’s largest student innovation and entrepreneurship summit (IEDC Summit 2021) in collaboration with the Kerala Start-Up Mission. That year also saw the launch of a new UG program in Electronics and Biomedical Engineering. ASIET was recognized as a 'Band Performer' in the Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements (ARIIA) in 2021. The ASDA (The Adi Shankara Digital Academy) platform, launched by the Honorable Vice President of India, Sri M Venkaiah Naidu, in 2021, catering to all, offers online courses in Vastu Shastra, Vedic Mathematics, and Yoga. ASDA aims to utilize its learning platform to extend its reach to students and graduates, providing opportunities for upskilling and empowering them with knowledge rooted in traditional Indian culture

The institute’s NSS Unit was awarded the best unit among higher educational institutions by the Government of Kerala. In 2022, the institute secured the President’s awards for the best NSS Unit and NSS Program Officer. Four of our B.Tech programs: CSE, ECE, EEE and ME got reaccredited by NBA in the same year.

In 2023, the institute expanded its horizons by introducing two new courses: B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Data Science, and Master of Computer Applications (MCA). That year, ASIET received LEAP recognition from the Kerala Startup Mission. Adding another feather to its cap, the institute secured research funding of ₹2.98 crores from MeitY, Government of India, for a project focused on air quality monitoring, flood alert systems, and distributing drinking water.

In 2024, the Department of Civil Engineering received NBA accreditation, ensuring that all eligible Under Graduate programs at the institute are now accredited. That same year, the institution was recognized as a LEAP center by KSUM.

Through the years, Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering & Technology has consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence, innovation, and community service, making it a beacon of education and growth.
