Founded in 1949 by industrialist C. Rajam and merged into Anna University in 1978, MIT Chromepet was the first institution in India to teach aeronautical engineering, automobile engineering and electronics engineering. That heritage still defines it: its aero and auto programmes are among the country's most sought-after. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam studied aeronautical engineering here, as did former ISRO Chairman K.
