This decade is witnessing a rapid growth in an Automobile industry due to liberalization, which demands for specialists in this field. This demand can be met by well qualified engineers who are well versed with design, development, manufacturing and maintenance of eco-friendly vehicles, alternative energy sources and modern transportation systems.

With a mission to create techno excellent engineers, the department is established in 1983 with intake capacity of 60 students. Automobile engineering department in our institute is one of the oldest and unique four years degree course affiliated to Shivaji University Kolhapur. The department has well qualified and dedicated faculty and is known for its high academic standard, well-maintained discipline and complete infrastructure facilities.

From academic year 2010-11 department has started M.E.(Automobile) with intake capacity. The Department has Center of Excellence in the field of (i) Automotive research and diagnosis Studies (ii) Engine Testing (iii) Alternative Energy Sources (iv) Modeling and simulation

The Department has maintained excellent interaction with Industry and R & D organizations. The Department has Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student chapter. We have established Automobile Engineering Students Association (AESA).
