Bishop Anthony Theodore Lobo upgraded the institute from a two-year certificate to a three-year Diploma of Associate Engineering (DAE) awarding institute. Plans are underway for converting the SIT into an Engineering College in the near future. Much of the expansion was made possible by a half million Euro aid granted to the SIT.[3]
In 2009, the SIT was amongst the Christian institutions the Taliban sent letters to warning Christian leaders to convert to Islam or face dire consequences.[4]
In 2010, the Principal was Robinson Daniel.[5] When he took over in 2002 there were 33 students. With the improvements he introduced in 2018 there were over 1000 students.[6]
In 2005, Robinson visited Germany financed by the Catholic aid organization Misereor. They also funded the purchase of new equipment. In addition he was able to ship back equipment donated from Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The equipment in the institute had not been upgraded in over 40 years.[6]
In 2019, the Catholic Church continues to subsidise the Institute despite its financial difficulties.[7]
