Department of Mechanical Engineering

The inception of the Mechanical Engineering Department may be traced back to 1921 when a diploma course in Mechanical Engineering was started in this Institute. The Department provides ample laboratory facilities and hands-on training to the Undergraduate students both in the conventional subject as also in the emerging fields of specialization. The department also takes different theory classes and conducts laboratory experiments for other branches of Engineering viz. Electrical Engineering, Electronics & communication Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science & Technology, Metallurgy and Mining Engineering.

The Departmental faculty consists of erudite teachers who are constantly engaged in undertaking research work of original nature and subsequent publications. Many of the members of the faculty have earned to their credit quite a number of praiseworthy research papers published in the national and international journals of repute.

The Department is actively engaged in solving industrial problems faced by the industries in and around Kolkata. The Department is providing design and consultancy services for installing and pollution-abating equipment for different industries in Howrah and Kolkata.

The Department organizes Seminars and workshops every year. Industrial visits are also organized.
