The department has 45 qualified and dedicated faculty members with the specialization in various areas. The department is conducting one UG program (Mechanical Engineering intake of 200), five PG programs (Mechanical Engineering, Turbo Machines, Industrial Process Equipment Design, CAD/CAM, and Thermal System Design) and research program leading to Ph.D. degree in almost all major specialization of Mechanical Engineering. About Anchor Institute Cell Anchor Institute (Engineering & Auto), SVNIT-Surat is supported by Industries Commissioner ate, Department of Industries and Mines, Gujarat Government, Gandhinagar. The wide industrial base in Gujarat state is expected to increase significantly in near future due to the large new investments coming in as envisaged during Vibrant Gujarat Summits. One of the issues arising due to this will be regarding availability of necessary technical manpower as realized by the Industrial Commissionerate, Government of Gujarat, Gandhinagar, in spite of sufficient technical manpower coming out of the academic institutions. This is due to the fact that large fraction of the fresh graduates coming out from ITI, Polytechnics and Degree colleges are unemployable. The need for better quality and skilled technical manpower is increasing and will continue to increase in time to come.
