PRESIDENT PENS

The National Institute of Engineering is a 'cosmopolitan' academic community attracting students from all over India. This institution has developed the concept of NIE family involving the management, Alumni, Staff and Students with the sole object of providing the atmosphere of oneness culture and progress. Presently, about 2400 students have enrolled for bachelor of Engineering, Master's and research programmes. All these programmes are supported by about 140 academic staff along with state of the art laboratories, workshops, libraries and other infrastructure.

Despite many challanges that NIE had to confront with over the past six decades, it has stayed true to its founding principles of imparting quality technical education and motive of service to the society which is made possible only because of the unstinted cooperation and active selfless service of the successive manaegments, dedicated service by its staff, desire of its students to train themselves to reach a high degree of technical competence. All these are responsible for the progress of NIE from year to year which has resulted in raising the institution to the level of the required standards as prescribed which again has resulted in raising the instution to the level of the status of Academic Autonomy and thus it has now become an Autonomous College.

In commemoration of the golden jubilee, Golden Jubilee Complex has been constructed in a vast tract of land with plenty of greenery. With a view to encourage our sportsmen and the other younger generation and with the courtesy of NIE Foundation, Diamond Jubilee Indoor Sports Complex of International standards is made available. Various Centres of Excellence like centre for Research & Consultancy (CRC), Building and Fire Research Centre (BFRC), Centre for Renewable Energy & sustainable Technologies (CREST), Centre for Energy Management & Test Systems for Electrical Apparatus (CEMATEA), etc., have been established to promote research activities. NIE also made collaboration with many foregin universities and agencies to enhance global academic participation. I hope that the sincere efforts by the NIE family to bring this institution to the present stage will inspire the next generation to strive towards achieving greater heights and celebrate platinum Jubilee and Centenary with pride.
