Department of Mechanical Engineering
The department of Mechanical Engineering has been the heart and sprit of this premier institution right from its inception in 1960. This is the largest department of the institution in terms of strength of students, technical staff and faculty. Department offers PG (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) and UG courses in Mechanical Engineering. The department has sophisticated laboratory facilities to conduct experiment and research works on different specialized areas in Mechanical Engineering. The department is spearheaded by a highly competent, dedicated, well qualified and experienced faculty who always strive for imparting quality in technical education. It is highly reputed for producing eminent engineers as professionals, researchers and entrepreneurs. Rating very high, the department is the Alma Mater of several technocrats and researchers world over.
OUR VISION
"To continuously evolve as a centre of excellence in producing technically competent engineers with innovative thinking and values meeting the sustainable needs of the society."
OUR MISSION
"To provide quality education in moulding technically competent professionals with skill sets for meeting the future challenges."
"To instil confidence in applying technology and research, leading to innovative and sustainable solutions for the benefits of the society."
"To inculcate ethical values among our students."
PEO
