Opinion / Review :
In September 2010 the institute was facing a 30% staff shortage. Allegations were made that this affected academics, which the administration denied. Irregularities in refund of caution money deposited by students were revealed in April 2011.
Damage and destruction of canteen equipments in MNIT by some hostile elements of society indicates lack of security for students, faculty and other people on campus. Complaints of financial irregularities and sexual harassment against MNIT Prof S.G. Modani. Work pressure and denied promotion MNIT staffer Mahendra Singh Chaudhary hangs self.
