A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL |
Dr. B. C. Roy
Engineering College started in 2000. Some of the features of
this institute that have always attracted the prospective
students’ right from its onset include:
- Qualified
and experienced faculty – including those from IIT s’, NIT
s’ and other premier institutions.
- A
campus-placements record that is often comparable with, more
often, better than most top class institutions – even on the
face of the current recession.
- Adequate
laboratory facility for undergraduate, graduate and even
research level work to a limited capacity.
- A fully
equipped language laboratory – the first non-IIT institution
in eastern India to set-up one – where students are trained
for campus selection and personality development.
-
Availability of graduate level (M.E./ M. Tech.) programmes
in most disciplines.
- A large
central library with good collection of text books,
reference books, journals, periodicals and with on-line
journals like those from IEEE.
- Leased
line for internet services and LAN facility.
- Hostel
facility for boys and girls and a fully equipped gymnasium.
- A
moderately equipped dispensary headed by a senior medical
practitioner.
- On campus
ATM and Banking
Most of the faculty of this institute are actively involved
in research and/ or research guidance. The institute also
promotes research and exchange of ideas. It has always
encouraged faculty and students to attend conference/ seminar
on subjects of academic interest to enhance learning.

The institute
has a policy to promote students’ interaction with industries
and their participation in taking up industry oriented projects
as a part of their curricula in the final semesters. Close
interaction with industries has resulted in participation of
companies like TCS, Capgemini, L&T Infotech, Infosys, Reliance
Infocom, Accenture, Wipro-Spectramind, Satyam Computers and
Cognizant in the campus-recruitment process of this institute,
when most institutions are facing the impact of global
recession. The institute has plans to invite more industries
from the core engineering sector. It is also in close contact
with companies like Mindtree, Atul Industries DSP and Carlyle.
The institute
has also started spreading its wings to cater to the hitherto
untouched areas of vertical engineering in order to fill the
void created in those sectors over last few decades. The
institute has plans to open an undergraduate level programme in
Civil Engineering and a graduate level programme in VLSI Design
from the academic year 2009.
Any growth needs
planning and consolidation for long-term sustenance. This is one
aspect that this institute – unlike many others – has always
felt and thus infrastructure – be it in terms of equipment,
accessories, computation facility or humans resource – has never
been found wanting here. Accreditation of all the three
departments (Electrical, Electronics & Communication and
Computer Science and Engineering) within five years their
beginning testifies this. Not many institutions of eastern India
can boast of this. Other departments which had joined the
list in later years are also planning to apply for accreditation
soon after the stipulated period in line with this culture of
sustainable growth that this institute has imbibed right from
its on-set.

Some of the
plans of the institute on the anvil are:
- Campus
networking and more elaborate computer facilities.
- A
3000-capacity indoor auditorium.
- Closer
collaboration with vertical industries in the coming years.
The institute
has been selected as one of the 50 such institutes in India to
be an Educational Satellite Communication Network Centre through
which students and faculty can directly interact with eminent
educationists from India and abroad.
