College of Engineering, Pune (COEP) established in 1854 and is the Third Oldest Engineering College in Asia. Our institute is an autonomous engineering college and is affiliated to the University of Pune in Maharashtra, India. The students and alumni of College of Engineering, Pune are colloquially known as COEPians. In the early 1950s, the college’s study model was referred to as the “Poona Model”. Our Institute is located at the confluence of two great rivers, the Mula and the Mutha.
In 2003, our institute was granted autonomy by the state Government of Maharashtra, thus giving us freedom to set our own curriculum and manage our own finances. With the permanent affiliation to the University of Pune, the institute is now an autonomous engineering school. Henceforth, there has been remarkable change as far as the pedagogy at COEP is concerned. The following years have witnessed a multitude of optimistic changes in administrative and academic strategies. These are also reasons for the growing innovation on project work of college students. The institute contends that its autonomy now makes it more flexible in dynamically changing syllabus to go well with changing needs of the industry.
At present, we award the degree of B. Tech. i.e. Bachelor of Technology (earlier the Bachelor of Engineering or B. E.) in nine specializations. These were introduced subsequently from the commencement of the college.
The sandwich pattern course was introduced in Mechanical, Electrical, Metallurgy (1974) and Production. In this model, students spend their 5th and 8th semesters working in the industry and gain credit for such work, under the supervision of a faculty member and an industrial manager.
