History
The fore-runner of Defence Institute of Advanced Technology is the Institute of Armament Studies established within the campus of College of Military Engineering (CME), Dapodi, Pune in 1952. The Institute then was conducting only the Technical Staff Officers' Course for the Army. In the ensuing years, several courses were added to the Institute curriculum based on the needs of the three Services, Defence Research and Development Organisation, DGQA, DAQA and Defence PSUs etc.
In 1967, the institute was renamed as "Institute of Armament Technology" (IAT), which moved into the picturesque location of Girinagar, on the Southern Bank of Khadakwasla Lake; its present location. The Institute is spread over 496 acres in scenic beautiful location, overlooking Khadakwasla dam, in Sahyadri hills. From the relatively narrow scope of Armament Studies alone in the Fifties, the role of the institute was considerably enlarged by the Defence R&D Council in 1964 and further in 1981.
On the basis of accreditation by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE), Pune University recognised eight courses for the award of ME degree in 1982. The institute acquired the status of a Deemed University in 1999. It became autonomous w.e.f. 1 April 2006 and was rechristened as Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT), a Deemed to be University (DU).
To have an Institute completely dedicated to the needs of the three Services, a case was initiated to bifurcate MILIT from DIAT (DU). The major Milestones leading to final formation of MILIT are given subsequently.

A competition was organised to design a formation sign for MILIT. The winning entry of Mrs Radhika Rajeev Jadhav w/o Maj JB Desai (TSOC-43) was adopted as the formation sign on 18 May 2018. The interlocked service signs in service colours rest on top of a nib of a pen highlighting jointness and the significance of knowledge (Pen is mightier than a sword). The service signs are also interlinked with a 'gear flame' motif at the top which highlights 'technology- purist of excellence'. The maroon background further accentuates jointness.
Campus
The institute located on the Southern Bank of Khadakwasla Lake at Girinagar, Pune.
Courses
In order to meet the specific and futuristic training requirements of Armed Forces, DIAT (DU) was bifurcated to form Military Institute of Training (MILIT), Pune which conducts short term certificate courses for the Officers of the three services.
