College of Engineering, Pune (COEP) is one of the most prestigious engineering colleges in India. Established in 1854, it is the third oldest engineering college in Asia, after the College of Engineering, Guindy (1794) and IIT Roorkee (1847). It is located in Pune (formerly Poona), Maharashtra. The students and alumni of COEP are colloquially referred to as COEPians.
In 2004, the institute was granted complete autonomy by the state government, and declared a center for excellence in technical education. The institute now is an autonomous engineering school with permanent affiliation to the University of Pune.
The college's study model referred to in the early 50s as the 'Poona Model' is highly respected by the industry and public works. The institute contends that its autonomy now grants it greater flexibility in dynamically changing its syllabus to suit the changing needs of the industry.
COEP has always prided itself on the quality of the campus placements it offers to its students. The industry in and around Pune, and indeed many from far off, look to recruit the best brains entering the industry from COEP. This ensures that students at COEP have the pick of the kind of work that they want to do.
COEP also offers its students training to face the job interviews and group discussions which students are expected to go through. It also ensures that all the students at COEP are giving the 'finishing school' treatment in order to prepare them for the world of opportunities awaiting them. Thus COEP, through the T&P dept. ensures the best for its students.
