1.HISTORY

GOVERNMENTCOLLEGEOFENGINEERING

AURANGABAD431005

The institutehasbeenestablished in1960 tomeet thegrowingdemand for technicalmanpower

in the state of Maharashtra. The Government College of Engineering, Aurangabad is one of

therenowned institute inMaharashtra and itsestablishment has fulfilled theaspirationsofpeople

ofMarathwada region. Initially the institute offered UG programs in three core branches

ofengineering viz.Civil,Mechanical andElectrical,with intakecapacityof60studentsperbranch,

leading

to

Bachelors

degree

of

Engineering

in

respective

disciplines.

Subsequently

additional

UG

programs suchasElectronics andTelecommunications, Computer Science andengineering (1986)

and Information Technology (2000),havebeenadded.Postgraduate programs leading toMasters

degree in Engineering have been introduced in 1986. Institute is functioning as an autonomous

Institute affiliated to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad from

academic year 200607. The institute has started Ph.D. programmes in four disciplines of

Engineering/Technology in 2006 and one discipline in 2010 and has registered around 95 Ph.D.

candidates. TheUniversity has conferred the status of autonomous college to allU.G., P.G. and

Ph.D.programsoftheinstitute.

2.THEINSTITUTE:

Institute issituated intheheartofAurangabad cityatabout1Km from railway station, sprawling

overacampusofaround22acreswith separate buildings forvariousProgrammes, Departments,

Library, Auditorium, Workshop, Hostels and Office. Auditorium of the institute has a seating

enhance practical knowledge of the students. The institute has been selected for funding under

TEQIPPhaseII also, during which the focus will be on PG, Ph.D. programmes, research and

development activities. Eachdepartment has separate computer laboratory adequate numbersof

PCs with internet gateway connectivity and required application software. Central library has a

seating capacity for 200 readers with separate seating arrangement for facultymembers. There

aremore than67435 text and reference books andbound volumes of technicaljournals. College

has also subscribed to onlinejournals of high repute. Institute has very senior and experienced

teaching facultyand supporting staffdevoted to teaching and studentswelfare. Faculty isactively

involved in research, development, testing, consultancy and publication of research papers and

books. AllDoctoral Programs leading to Ph.D. degree will be offered under autonomy &will be

governed by Rules & Regulations framed by the institute authorities. These rules can be
