Government of Maharashtra. This means that the Institute conducts its own Diploma examinations which are recognised by Government as equivalent to those of the
Board of Technical Education, Maharashtra. St. Xavier’s Technical Institute has set up a Software Development Centre. In 1999 the Directorate of Technical Education of Maharashtra State commissioned St. Xavier’s to set up an electronic network of 46 technical institutions across the state. This included the Directorate itself, the Directorate of Industry-Institute Co-ordination, the Board of Technical Education, and 43 other Institutions in the State. The project was funded by the World Bank. The Institute's Marine Department has been awarded
ISO 9001:2000 quality certification. A separate project has been started for the computerisation of the Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education which controls technical examinations in the state. The project was awarded to St. Xavier’s Technical Institute. A second project for the computerisation of
Holy Family Hospital and Research Centre and the new Holy Family Heart Institute with facilities like
MRI and CAT SCAN has been awarded to the Institute. The State Board of Technical Education has awarded the Institute a project to provide an on-line examination for the government employee confirmatory test. This project includes the development of the Question Bank for the examination. ==Courses offered==
