Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Technology (SVIT), Vasad, is a private technical institute situated on the banks of the Mahi River in Gujarat, India. The institute offers a range of undergraduate and graduate-level technical education programs.
The New English School Trust (NEST) founded SVIT with the vision of establishing a self-financed degree engineering college. The college was named in honor of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a revered leader from the region.
