College of Agricultural Engineering & Technology / Home
The College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (erstwhile College of Agricultural Engineering) was established in the year 1964 with the guidance and help from Ohio State University, USA through a generous grant from the Ford Foundation. The college was declared as “Centre of Excellence” for Agricultural Engineering Education in South East Asia by UNO. The college further received recognition by way of getting a prestigious programme on Centre of Advanced Studies on Energy Management in Agriculture by the prestigious FAO/UNDP and ICAR in 1984. After that, a Centre of Advanced Studies in Farm Power and Machinery was sanctioned by the ICAR during the 8th Five Year Plan ended in 1997. Recently in the year 2017 the college was adjudged as one of the best institution in the northern region.
The college has excellent training facilities for undergraduate and postgraduate education. Because of the high quality of the training imparted by the College, quite a large number of the graduates of the College are being placed up by Tractors, Irrigation, Food Processing Industry through campus interviews. During the last over six decades of its existence, the College has developed several new technologies for the benefit of farmers and entrepreneurs of the State. In addition to imparting education, the College has also played a leading role in solving the problems of the farmers and the industry by undertaking problem-oriented research and speedy technology transfer. Under CRM scheme launched by Govt of India to manage paddy straw in the northern states Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and UP, almost all the machines being promoted on subsidy are developed by our college. Now the focus of our college is towards development of renewable energy based engineering technologies for conservation/regenerative/ precision farming and value addition of the crop produce.

College of Agricultural Engineering & Technology / Training & Placement
Training and Placement Cell of the College plays a vital role in identifying the professional needs of the students in terms of professional trainings, educational and industrial visits and interactions to help the budding graduates get placed in reputed national and international corporate and different government and semi-government organizations through On Campus Interviews. Continuous interaction and counseling sessions on personality development and other professional attributes are being organized for the students by inviting the experts from the industry and other institutes. Technological contests and design competitions are also organized by the industry regularly to tap the talent and promising agricultural engineers from the campus directly. The students are advised about the organizations and institutes where employment opportunities exit. The employment situation is very good for Agricultural Engineers at present. The students graduating from this College are holding responsible positions in academics, manufacturing concerns, government organizations, public sector undertakings and other agro related industries. A number of students are holding prestigious positions after getting selected in various all India level competitive examinations. Some of the past graduates are also holding high professional positions in various foreign countries. Two faculty members are looking after the different activities of the cell.
