The institute started with B.E. courses in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Postgraduate and Ph.D. courses in applied Sciences were introduced in 1967. The B.E. in Electronics Engineering was started in 1981. An undergraduate course in Architecture Architecture was introduced in 1984. The institute started a postgraduate course in Computer Application (M.C.A.) in 1986.
The institute offered the postgraduate Course in Civil Engineering with specialization in Construction Technology and Management in 1987. Postgraduation in Electronics and Electrical Engineering was started in 1995.
The B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering and Chemical Engineering were offered in 1994 and 1995 respectively. Information Technology was started in 2000. A postgraduate course in Production Technology in Mechanical Engineering department and in Microwave in Electronics and CSE department are the latest additions.
The institute offers Ph.D. programmes in engineering and science.

Campus
MITS Gwalior is located on RACE COURSE Road, Gwalior. The campus of 47 acres (190,000 m2) is surrounded by educational institutions such as the Lakshmibai National University of Physical Education and the Agriculture University.
