Prior to this, since 1981, the institute under the name Modern Polytechnic (MPT) offered Diploma Courses in civil, electrical, mechanical, and mining survey engineering. In 1987, OCE and MPT were merged and renamed as IGIT, Sarang, and the management was transferred to an Autonomous Society.

Within a span of three decades, the institute has grown up to the National level academically. This is the first Govt. Engg. College in the state to have accreditation from NBA (AICTE) because of its academic excellence.[3]
