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.
