It gives me immense pleasure to speak my mind to all the stakeholders of this Institute, which has now produced hundreds and thousands of students since its inception in 1960. The pass out students, now scattered among hundred cities, are occupying the places of pride in many multinational companies, PSUs and government organisations.

There has been a paradigm shift in engineering education across the country in recent times. Emphasis is being given on multi- disciplinary approach, skill development and keeping the students abreast with changing technologies. The Internship to the students, Institute- industry interface and outcome based education are our primary focus.

We have come a long way and yet to achieve many milestones. The students are our ambassadors and their excellence will further establish the credentials of this illustrious Institute. Let the students bear in their mind that hardwork, commitment, discipline and focus can alone reward them the fruits of success. I wish everyone, who is in any way directly or remotely associated with this Institute a phenomenal success.
