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.

IIT, Kharagpur

The history of the IIT system dates back to 1946 when a committee was set up by Hon'ble Sir Jogendra Singh, Member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, Department of Education, Health and Agriculture to consider the setting up of Higher Technical Institutions for post war industrial development in India. The 22 member committee headed by Sri N.R.Sarkar, in its report, recommended the establishment of four Higher Technical Institutions in the Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern regions, possibly on the lines of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, with a number of secondary institutions affiliated to it. The report also urged the speedy establishment of all the four institutions with the ones in the East and the West to be started immediately. The committee also felt that such institutes would not only produce undergraduates but they should be engaged in research, producing research workers and technical teachers as well. The standard of the graduates should be at par with those from first class institutions abroad. They felt that the proportion of undergraduates and postgraduate students should be 2:1.

With the above recommendations of the Sarkar committee in view, the first Indian Institute of Technology was born in May 1950 in Hijli, Kharagpur, in the eastern part of India.

Initially the IIT started functioning from 5, Esplanade East, Calcutta and very soon shifted to Hijli in Sept. 1950. The present name 'Indian Institute of Technology' was adopted before the formal inauguration of the Institute on August 18, 1951, by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.

IIT Kharagpur started its journey in the old Hijli Detention Camp where some of our great freedom fighters toiled and sacrificed their lives for the independence of our country.

The history of IIT Kharagpur is thus intimately linked with the history of the Hijli Detention Camp. This is possibly one of the very few Institutions all over the world which started life in a prison house.

Pandit Nehru in his first convocation address in 1956 said "Here in the place of that Hijli Detention Camp stands the fine monument of India, representing India's urges,India's future in the making. this picture seems to me symbolical of the changes that are coming to India."

IIT, Kanpur

IIT Kanpur was established by an Act of Parliament in 1959. The institute was started in December 1959 in a room in the Canteen Building of the Harcourt Butler Technological Institute at Agricultural Gardens in Kanpur. In 1963, the Institute moved to its present location, on the historic Grand Trunk Road near the village of Kalyanpur in Kanpur district. During the first ten years of its existence, IIT Kanpur benefited from the Kanpur Indo-American Programme, where a consortium of 9 US universities namely M.I.T, University of California, Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Case Institute Of Technology and Purdue University helped set up the research laboratories and academic programmes.[1] The first Director of the Institute was Dr. P. K. Kelkar (after whom the Central Library was renamed in 2002).

Under the guidance of economist John Kenneth Galbraith, IIT Kanpur was the first institute in India to offer Computer Science education. The earliest computer courses were started at IIT Kanpur in August 1963 on an IBM 1620 system, a novelty then even in many North American and European universities. In 1971, the institute initiated an independent academic program, leading to M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees.

The undergraduate students at IIT Kanpur are selected through the Joint Entrance Examination of the IITs. The Post Graduate students are selected through various entrance exams.
