The National Diploma awarded by the Delhi Polytechnic was considered equivalent to B.E. Degree by the then UPSC.

Affiliation to Delhi University

Prof. D.S.Kothari, the then Dean Faculty of Science Delhi University was on the Advisory Body of Delhi Polytechnic. He took initiatives and introduced B.E. Degree courses of 4 years duration after pre-engineering/ I.Sc. /F.Sc./ Ist yr. pass in B.Sc of Delhi University. The Delhi Polytechnic was affiliated to Delhi University and B.E. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Textile Engineering was awarded to the students under Faculty of Technology, University of Delhi since 1952. B.E. degree in Civil Engineering was introduced in 1955. In addition to merit of qualifying examination, test and/or interview were held for the selection of candidates for admission.

A New Beginning

Up till 1962, the college was under the direct control of Ministry of Education, Government of India. Since 1963 , Delhi Polytechnic was taken over by the then Delhi Administration and Chief Commissioner Delhi was the ex-officio Chairman of the College. It became a Union Territory College and 75% of seats were reserved for the candidates who passed their qualifying examination from a school situated in the Union Territory of Delhi. In 1963, Department of Arts became College of Arts and Department of Commerce & Business Administration was converted to several institutes of Commerce & Secretarial Practices. Fragmentation of Delhi Polytechnic ultimately left behind an engineering institute alone. In 1965, the Delhi Polytechnic was renamed as Delhi College of Engineering and became the first engineering college of Delhi .

The journey of engineeringEducation continued and the intake of the college was enhanced from 200 to 250 trhat year. Professor S.C. Sen, the then Principal led the college successfully to become a unique institute of higher technical education and research. M.Sc. (Civil Engineering specialization in Structure) full time (2 yr. duration) and part-time (3 yr. duration) courses were introduced in 1966. Persistent demand and visionary approach contributed to the start of M.Sc. Engineering courses in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the academic session 1971. The year of 1972 exhibited an enormous growth in the academic activities of the college under the leadership of Professor R. C. Narayan. B.Sc. (Engineering) course of 5 years duration was introduced in Electronics & Communication Engineering. All the departments started M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs. In 1973, the Department of Electrical Engineering introduced M.Sc. (Engg) courses in Instrumentation & Control, and Advanced Electronics; the Department of Mechanical Engineering introduced M.Sc. (Engg) courses in Thermal, and Production; the Department of Civil Engineering introduced M.Sc. (Engg) courses in Structure, Hydraulics & Flood Control, and Public Health Engineering. Electrical Engineering Department introduced M.Sc. in Power Systems in the year 1977. The year of 1979 brought a change in the engineering curriculum.

Introduction of 10+2 system demanded a change in the duration of B.Sc. engineering courses, which was reduced from 5 years to 4 years and the degree was renamed as B.E. Department of Physics started M.Sc. course in Applied Physics in 1981 while Department of Chemistry started M.E. in polymer technology in 1985.

On the persistent demand of diploma holders, the college started B.E.Tech. Courses in Civil, Electrical, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering in the year 1982. The year of 1983 exhibited the decrease in the duration of P.G. courses in Engineering, which were made of one and a half year duration with more emphasis on research project.

Delhi Administration established Delhi Institute of Technology (Presently Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology ) in 1985 and the new college was established under the patronage of Delhi College of Engineering . B.E. degree course in Production & Industrial Engineering was started in 1988 while B.E. degree course in Computer Engineering was started in 1989.

The New Campus

The foundation stone of New Campus of DCE was laid by the then Hon'ble Vice President Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma on May 23, 1989 . The capacity utilization of the infrastructure, at the college, is indeed highly satisfying, especially that the college functions now at the new campus of DCE (163.9 acre land) right from 9.00 a.m. in the morning to right up to 9 p.m. in the evening on all working days. Part-time B.Tech. Degree Programs to the practicing engineers of the National Capital Region are run in the evening between 6 to 9 p.m.

The beginning of last decade of century brought very dynamic and energetic Principal Prof. P.B. Sharma to lead the college community. Introduction of CEE Entrance test, new examination policy and curriculum innovation were some of the exemplary work carried out in this period. The college became highly vibrant and dynamic with enormous activity in all the facet of academic and extracurricular. The college organized more than 32 national level symposia and seminars, 6 chapters of International societies were opened to have meaningful interaction and participation not only from India but from abroad also. "Emerging Trends in Technical Education" organized in 1992 gave an impetus to rethink about the technical education patterns in India. Management of environment were on the top of the agenda and polymer science & technology drawn the attention of all the educational administrators during 1996.

B.E. degree level courses were started in Polymer Science & Chemical Technology and Environment Engineering in 1998. Information technology played a vital role during this era and the beginning of new millennium witnessed the introduction of B.E. in Information Technology in 2002. B.E. in Bio Technology was introduced from the academic session 2004-2005. A seminar on sport engineering in 2004 is the beginning to start this course in near future.

History

The Prime Minister of India constituted a National Task Force on IT and Software Development in 1998. The purpose of this committee was to make specific recommendations for the establishment of IT institutions that would produce a skilled IT workforce. The vision was to bring India to the frontier of the field of information technology.

The Ministry of Human Resources Development through its order of 1st July 1998 constituted the Rame Gowda Committee. This expert committee was to submit a project report regarding the feasibility and logistics of setting up a National Institute of Excellence in Information Technology with Allied Sciences. This Institute would carry out pioneering research and development with an emphasis on industry linkages and networking at national and international levels.

This Expert Committee met a number of times and discussed the vision and scope of the institute against the backdrop of technological innovations, particularly in the field of Information Technology. Accordingly, the decision was taken that it was an opportune moment for India to exploit and harness IT at all levels, from grass-root applications to top-notch software development.

The national task force on IT had suggested a wide spectrum of recommendations spanning from wired-village concepts to $50-billion software development programs within 6-8 years. To achieve this target, there was an urgent need for massive manpower generation. Towards this end, the Task Force had called for a number of front-ranking IT centers of excellence, of which the first was to be established in Allahabad.

The Expert Committee then proposed the profile of an institute with all the relevant details with regard to location, funding and governance. It also came up with a budget of Rs. 41.70 crores for the establishment of an institute at Allahabad. It was the hope of the members of the Committee that the setting up of this institute would usher in an era of establishment of such centers across the country. Furthermore, this institute was expected to emerge as a national center of excellence in IT along with like sciences and technologies.

For financial and administrative approval, these recommendations were placed before the Expenditure and Finance Committee at its meeting on the 30th of December, 1999.
