100 Yearsof Excellence
A century of brilliance.
A Century of Transformation
From a humble silk weaving institute in 1927 to a premier engineering college — our journey spans nearly a century of relentless pursuit of excellence.
Established on 19th July 1927 as the Government Silk Weaving and Dyeing Institute in the central jail premises at Berhampore, we began with a mission to train local artisans in silk production and weaving. Over the decades, we evolved through multiple transformations:
