Established in the era of British in the year 1854, well before any of the formal degree awarding universities took roots in India, College of Engineering Pune (COEP) now known as COEP Technological University (COEP Tech) is the third oldest engineering college in the country, and indeed in Asia, after College of Engineering, Guindy, and IIT Roorkee, having glorious history of 170 years. Started as the Poona Engineering Class and Mechanical School, it was used for training officers involved in public works such as the construction of buildings, dams, canals, railways and bridges. The school was renamed several times before it became College of Engineering, Poona (COEP), in the year 1911. It was initially affiliated to the University of Bombay for a degree of Licentiate in Civil Engineering known as LCE and later to the University of Pune. The degree programs in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering were started in 1908, 1912 and 1932, respectively. From then on, the college has gone on expanding adding new departments and new wings by the year. The astounding performance and startling accolades of the institute speaks for its perseverance and endeavors. Paying off to the diligence, dedication and sempiternal service to mankind, the Government of Maharashtra through its notification dated 21st June 2022 bestowed College of Engineering Pune with the status of “Technological Unitary Public University”. Laying off another milestone in the legacy, the institute is now operational as COEP Technological University of Government of Maharashtra. As of now, COEP Tech has thirteen academic departments under five different Schools and six Centers of Excellence, namely Signal and Image Processing and Smart Renewal Energy Systems supported by TEQIP and Biomedical Engineering & Technology Incubation Centre (BETiC) supported by Rajiv Gandhi Science & Technology Commission, Government of Maharashtra. Industrial Automation; Advance Electronics Manufacturing; Robotics and Automation supported by Industry. The University offers nine Under-graduate programmes in engineering and twenty six Post-graduate courses in engineering and one Under- graduate and Post-graduate programme in Planning; two Post-graduate programmes in Business Administration, besides Ph.D. programmes in all the disciplines.
