The College offers four-year engineering degree courses leading to the award of Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. The College also offers courses leading to Master of Computer Applications, Master of Science by Research and also Ph.D., in the various branches of Engineering. Part-time courses are offered both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. As of today, there is a yearly intake of 320 undergraduate students (full-time) and 140 (part-time) students and 290 postgraduate students (full-time and part-time). There are 109 teaching staff members, including 24 professors.
Undergraduate programmes in Engineering focus on the development of engineering foundations and skills so that the student can be competent when seeking industrial employment and have the requisite background for postgraduate studies. Undergraduate programmes are deemed to inculcate a spirit of inquiry, stimulate the power of thinking, bestow both analytical and experimental abilities, and elicit interest in postgraduate courses. In the context of fostering indigenous industrial development, undergraduate programmes encourage the spirit of entrepreneurship and self-employment, and address problems of industry.
