More than 25 years ago, it was the vision of Shri Shantaramji Potdukhe that transformed the educational profile of Chandrapur when he laid foundation of technical education by starting Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering, Research and Technology (formerly Chandrapur Engineering College ) in 1983. It was a humble beginning with 5 branches and 180 seats. It is now has 460 intake in 7 branches ( Civil Engg, Computer Technology, Electronics Engg, Electronics & Power Engg., Information Technology, Mechanical Engg., Mining Engg.) and PG courses in three disciplines; (Computer Science and Engg, Energy Management System, CAD/CAM) .

Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering, Research and Technology is more than 25 years old. It is matter of pleasure coated with sense of satisfaction that it has lived up to the expectation with which it was started in 1983. It was an attempt on the part of the management to make available a centre, first of its kind, of engineering education at Chandrapur. The engineers passing from the college and proving their technical excellence in India and abroad generate sense of pride in all of us.

Right from the inception the management has maintained the supported an approach conductive to generation of academic environment complemented by best possible infrastructure made available to students and faculty members. The orientation of staff members towards research is an index to successful cultivation of academic environment in the institution.
