Sri. Jyoti Basu and also by our very own, respected Late. Sri. Prasanta Sur. The campus is best known as the Prasanta Sur Campus. The basic objective behind setting up this institute was to produce quality professionals and well versed engineers to the society by providing quality education to them. The institute started its journey by offering B.Tech degrees in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology. But later on as per the demands of the society, the institute also opened up B.Tech degrees in Instrumentation and Control Engineering and in Civil Engineering. Over the years, the institute has developed a name for itself by also having huge societal contributions in the form of rendering various services to the society such as through by organizing Blood Donation Camps, organizing Sit and Draw competition involving community engagement, etc. Right from its inception, the institute provides a congenial environment where students and faculty members collectively combine to give significant contribution to the society. The institute inherits a rich culture of producing quality professionals who have all made a mark for themselves in the professional world. The institute stands apart from others solely by virtue of its simplicity and rich culture. Vision To emerge as a premier Engineering and Management Institute of the country with academic excellence in collaboration with Industry and develop students as modern citizens who would serve and enrich the society by using their technical prowess competently for it's development and prosperity.
