	TEQIP (Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme)
	>>	Since independence the growth of technical education in India is phenomal. However, in general the quality of technical education is inferior compared to the world standard and therefore needs improvement. In the era of globalization and technological advancement Govt. of India cannot remain as mere spectator of the situation. Govt. of India took initiative to launch "Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme" (TEQIP) in the year 2002, funded by World Bank.
	>>	The selection of the institute under this programme was based on its academic performance and achievements. Based on the pre-decided criteria (such as qualification of faculty, paper published by faculty in national/international journals and conferences, teacher-student ratio, faculty acted as referee in national/International journals, acted on national level committees, collection of books and journals in library, consultancy work, research/sponsored projects performed and number of students obtained Ph. D. degree from the institute etc.) Our institute was included amongst top-most four institutes in the state of Maharashtra. Subsequently two proposals were submitted and a fund of Rs. 9.98 crores was allocated for this institute under TEQIP.
	>>	The fund received will be utilized for the following purposes and to cover all the above aspects: modernization of existing laboratories, establishment of new laboratories, creation of centralized facilities (like library, computer center, work shop, CAD lab etc.), high speed Internet connectivity, faculty and staff development, civil works, networking with other institutes, services to be provided to community and industry, tribal development plan for weaker section of students and various institutional reforms.
	>>	This institute was selected as one amongst the four institutes (In the state of Maharashtra) that were included in the TEQIP in first cycle of the project. The institute was put in to a formal network with VNIT-Nagpur, NIT Warangal, SSGM College of Engineering, Shegaon and Government College of Engineering, Amravati. Institutional autonomy was a pre-requisite for the participation in the TEQIP. Accordingly, the institute was granted autonomy by Government of Maharashtra from the academic year 2004-2005.
