Shri Guru Gobind Singhji Institute of Engineering and Technology (SGGSIET) is a technical college in Nanded, Maharashtra, India. The institute was accorded full autonomous status in June 2004. It offers training in ten undergraduate and ten postgraduate programs in various fields of technical education, research, and technology transfer. It also offers a Ph.D. program under its affiliating university, Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, and under the Quality Improvement Programme of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, New Delhi.
The college is located on a campus of over 46 acres (19 ha). The land for the institute was donated by the Sant Baba Harnam Singh Langer Sahib Gurudwara trust, Nanded. The Institute is named after the 10th Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh.
The project was approved by the AICTE on 17 December 1981. The institute was registered under the Society's Act of 1960 and was fully funded by the Government of Maharashtra.
The Sant Shri Baba Harnamji trust donated 46 acres of land for the institute. Hence the institute was named after the 10th Sikh Guru, Shri Guru Gobind Singhji. The Governing Board, with the Director of Technical Education at its helm, overlooked the completion of the project. In 1983 Prof. B.M. Naik was appointed as the first full-time director.
In 2004, a committee headed by Dr. F.C. Kholi conducted a survey that identified three engineering colleges with potential for excellence. SGGSIE&T was one of the three selected institutes. The Government of Maharashtra took the initiative of granting autonomous status to these engineering colleges under its TEQIP program.
Sunil Raithatha, an eminent industrialist, was nominated by the Government of Maharashtra as Chairman of the Governing Board. The Government has also appointed renowned personalities from business and industry, academics, and its senior administrative cadre on the Governing Board.
