“To provide value based education and mould the character of the younger generation through a synthesis of science and spirituality, so that their earnest endeavour to achieve progress and prosperity in life is matched by an ardent desire to extend selfless service to the society, one complementing the other”

According to our mentor Her Holiness Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi there are two types of Education : Education for living and Education for Life. While the courses we pursue may help us to make a living, education for life requires understanding the essential principles of our minds, our mission, and ourself – in a nutshell the principles of spirituality.

During the Academic Year 2006-2007 our admission in the five different branches of Engineering was as follows:

CSE-114, ECE-119, E&I – 62, EEE- 65, IT-60 Total 420 as against the sanctioned intake of 420.

Total number of students on roll is 1334, out of this the number of Girls is 518 and the Boys is 816 and hence Girls percentage is 38.83 %

No. of students residing in the Hostel is 592, out of this no. of Girls is 159 and the Boys is 433, Hostellers percentage is 44.38 and among the hostellers girls percentage is 26.86%

During the reporting year one of the Boys Hostel was thrown open for occupation (There are 3 boys hostel and 1 girls hostel at present) One more girls hostel is under construction.

Four more additional buses have been added up during the year 2006-2007. Present fleet size to 15.

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering was shifted to `C' Block and all facilities for the functioning of this Department has been established. One full fledged air conditioned Conference room for general purpose and one air conditioned Seminar Hall with four air conditioned interview cabins have been made ready for functioning of the Training and Placement Department. Because of these additional facilities, it was possible to conduct three parallel sessions of tutorials during the National Conference on Cyber Security organized during this year. One fully air conditioned e-class room is getting ready for the Dual Degree Masters Programme called MYTUS being launched under Indo-US initiative. This program is likely to be launched in our campus by the end of this month.

During the period under consideration, the faculty strength has increased from 81 to 98. Cadre-wise distribution is as follows:
