Y. Patil College of Engineering & Technology, Kolhapur 2 National Assessment and Accreditation Council PREFACE Considering the dearth of technical manpower in our country and in particular in the state of Maharashtra; D. Y. Patil College of Engineering and Technology (DYPCET), Kolhapur was established in 1984 with an objective to empower the rural youth by imparting high quality technical education, conjugated with excellent ambiance for academic, research, co-curricular and extracurricular activities contributing to their overall development.

In the present context of 21st century challenges in Indian Higher education, the college aspires to strike a balance of inclusiveness with quality enhancement. The young men and women who pass out from this college are rooted in the core values and ethos which uphold the noble traditions of the nation, yet willing to open their minds to new vistas of knowledge to become the agents of social transformation. It is my privilege to submit the Self Study Report (SSR) to the NAAC, Bangalore. We are confident that the college is ready to have interface with the NAAC peer team in the short span of time. I hereby acknowledge the support and motivation given by the Management for the continual improvement in the quality of education and their zest of accreditation.
