Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) is among the premier engineering colleges in India. It was established in 1940, originally as Delhi Polytechnic and was under the direct control of Government of India. The college is presently under the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi since 1963 and is affiliated to the University of Delhi since 1952.[1] Vide Act 6 of 2009 Govt of NCT of Delhi has upgraded DCE to the State University with the name Delhi Technological University.
[edit] HistoryEstablished as Delhi Polytechnic in 1940, the technical school was created to cater to the demands of Indian industries. At that time the Delhi Polytechnic offered courses in Arts, Architecture, Commerce, Engineering, Applied Science and Textiles. The National Diploma awarded by the Delhi Polytechnic was considered equivalent to B.E. Degree by the then UPSC. In 1962, after the administration of Delhi Polytechnic was taken over from Ministry of Education, India, to Delhi State, various departments offering courses in different disciplines separated to form institutes addressing specific areas. The Department of Arts became College of Arts and the Department of Commerce and Business Administration further divided into several institutes of Commerce and Secretarial Practices. In 1965, the Delhi Polytechnic was renamed as Delhi College of Engineering. [2] Subsequently, Bachelor of Engineering courses in Civil, Electrical, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering were started. Delhi Assembly unanimously passed a Bill on July 01, 2009 paving way for upgradation of Delhi College of Engineering to Delhi Technological University. Upgradation of the engineering college will opened up new opportunities for expansion of technical education in Delhi as more courses are introduced as now it will be an autonomous university. New BE programmes in software engineering, automotive engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, engineering physics, aerospace engineering, medical engineering and nuclear science and engineering are introduced. Courses on bio-technology, nano-technology, bio-informatics, computational mathematics and MBA in knowledge and technology management and information systems management also introduced.[3] Some of the major highlights in the last two decades has been the introduction of CEE Entrance test, moving of the campus to a large and sprawling 164 acres (0.7 km2) near Bawana Road in Northern Delhi, and a shift of focus of students and faculty towards research and development[4] [edit] Delhi Technological UniversityDCE has been upgraded from the status of a engineering college to the position of a university and has been renamed as the Delhi Technological University. It is now a state university, with Prof. P.B. Sharma as its first Vice Chancellor. Delhi Technological University(Formerly Delhi College Of Engineering)is organizing the 1st International Conference On New Frontiers in Bio-fuels.The Conference aims to harbor a platform facilitating the exchange of ideas and experience among scientists involved in various segments of biofuel research. [edit] Campus Delhi College of Engineering operated from the Kashmere gate campus in the heart of Old Delhi until 1989, when construction began at the New Campus at Bawana Road in May. Moving of operations from Kashmere Gate to Bawana Road began in 1995, and the new campus formally started instruction for all four years of study starting 1999. The new campus is well connected by road[5]. It has the latest facilities including a state-of-the-art library system, a centralized computer center, a sports complex, eight boys' hostels, three girls' hostels, and a married couples' hostel. The campus also has residential facilities for faculty and staff. [edit] AdmissionsThe admission towards a full-time Bachelor of Engineering degree in Delhi College of Engineering and Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology is through Combined Entrance Examination (CEE) conducted by the University of Delhi, and All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Out of the total 570 seats, 85% are reserved for students who pass from high schools in the National Capital Territory of Delhi or Delhi region. The remaining 15% seats are for candidates from outside Delhi region and are admitted on the basis of All India merit Rank in AIEEE[6] . Admission towards a Postgraduate degree at the Delhi College of Engineering is based on performance in the GATE qualifying exam, followed by an interview. [edit] Academics Courses are offered towards Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), Bachelor of Technology (Part-time), Master of Engineering (M.E.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Apart from core engineering courses in computer science, electronics and communication,information technology, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and civil engineering, a bachelor of engineering degree is also granted in Production & Industrial Engineering, biotechnology, environmental engineering, polymer science and chemical engineering. Courses in nanotechnology, optical communications, and software engineering are part of college's new plan to focus on industry specific research[7]. Delhi College of Engineering enjoys good reputation among Engineering schools in India. The college has been ranked among top ten engineering colleges in recent and past national surveys organized by the India Today magazine. The survey ranks DCE at 12 with sister college NSIT following at 19. Another survey by Dataquest in 2005 ranked DCE among top 20 engineering institutes in the nation[8][9][10]. [edit] ResearchThe past few years have seen Delhi College of Engineering give a new impetus to research and development. Students, along with faculty, participate in projects such as design and development of a Formula SAE car, SAE Mini Baja[11], Hybrid Car, solar car[12], unmanned aerial vehicles[13],innovative embedded devices appreciated worldwide [14][15][16] and setting up a plant for manufacturing Biodiesel[17].Pioneered by the Defianz Racing team participating in the Formula Student competition, many student teams collaborate with universities[1] from other countries and actively participate in international and national competitions[18][19][20]. Delhi College of Engineering is one of the TIFAC COREs (Technology Information, Forecasting & Assessment Council's Centres Of Relevance & Excellence) in Fiber Optics and Optical Communication. Also, Students of Delhi College of Engineering have made it top-15 Worldwide slots in the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2007 and 2008 [14][21][22][23] The campus at DCE has been proposed as one of the sites for the Delhi Government's plan of creating Delhi a Research and IT hub[24]. Another plan, that of setting up a Knowledge Park at DCE as part of better infrastructure for Delhi, is underway[25]. DCE had been selected by Intel Technology Pvt. Ltd. to join Planet Lab Consortium that has the world's top universities and industrial research labs like Princeton University, University of Washington and NEC Labs as its members.[25] [edit] Scholarships and AwardsThere are several scholarships available for students beginning their first year at College that are awarded on the basis of their performance in individual subjects.[1]. Another award, introduced recently, given to two final year students on the basis of merit, sponsors the tuition and stipend for the purpose of pursuing MBA at the Raj Soin College of Business, Wright State University[1]. [edit] Student life and culture Keeping with the tradition of most colleges in India, Delhi College of Engineering, too, organizes cultural and academic festivals. While the cultural festivals are a break from studies and comprise events such as music concerts and fashion shows, the academic festivals form a common platform for students and academicians across the country to meet and showcase research. The major cultural festival is Engifest, held every every year in the month of February.Innova is the annual technical festival of DCE organised by the Civil and Mechanical Department in association with SEM & SAE. Resonance is a collage of assorted literary and managerial events and serves as a stage for showcasing the talents of the students in fields other than science and engineering.
