College Of Engineering Pune (COEP) Technological University is a unitary public university of the Government of Maharashtra,[1] situated in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Established in 1854, it is the 3rd oldest engineering institute in India, after College of Engineering, Guindy (1794) and IIT Roorkee (1847).[2][3][4] The students and alumni are colloquially referred to as COEPians.[5] On 23 June 2022, Government of Maharashtra issued a notification regarding conversion of the college into an independent technological university.[6] On 24 March 2022, both the houses of the state government passed the CoEP Technological University bill, which has conferred a unitary state university status on the institute.[7]

The institution was started in July 1854, as the "Poona Engineering and Mechanical School", to train public works department (PWD) officials and was housed in Bhawanipeth, Poona in three houses for teaching purpose and a separate house for principal to train subordinate officers in the Public Works Department.[2][4][8][9][10] In July 1857, Henry Coke was given the charge of the institute.[11] Admission was open to all, irrespective of nationality or caste.[11] Good proficiency in English and basic knowledge of Mathematics were a prerequisite for getting admitted to the institute.[11] The process of admission required that the aspiring candidate apply to the nearest government English school, to whom the entrance examination papers were handed over.[11] The headmaster would take the examination on a date deemed convenient to him and submit the answer sheets to Henry Coke, the in-charge of the mechanical school.[11] After examining the papers, Coke would notify the headmaster of the school with the names of candidates who were deemed fit for admission. Scholarships of Шаблон:INR 6 were offered per month after a period of six months of training in the mechanical school for fifteen students. The courses offered included Mathematics, Drawing, Surveying and levelling, building and construction and setting out works on the ground.[11] The course would run for a period of two years.[11]

Later on, in the year 1865, the school was renamed to "Poona Civil Engineering College". The foundation stone of the new college was laid by the Governor of Bombay, Sir Bartle Frere, who was to become the Vice-Chancellor of the University, on 5 August 1865.[12][13][14] In June of the following year, Theodore Cooke M.A., was appointed the Principal. He went on to hold the office for next 28 years.[12][15] It started a course in Licensed and civil engineering (LCE) and trained masons and overseers. Later it secured affiliation to the Bombay university. The course was revised in 1886 and the minimum criteria required for admission was raised from Matriculation to the then Previous Examination.

In 1879 two new classes, an Agricultural class and a Forest class, were added to the college, and the name of the college was changed from "The Poona Civil Engineering College " to "The College of Science".

In 1909, the LCE was converted into the BE degree and the first batch of students passed out in 1912. All non-engineering courses were stopped by 1911, transferring the Bachelor of Science degree to the "Science Institute of Bombay" and subsequently in the year 1911, the name was changed to the "Government College of Engineering, Poona".

The institution was initially affiliated to the University of Bombay (now Mumbai) for a degree of Licentiate in Civil Engineering known as LCE in 1858.[2][16] The certificate course was converted into a civil engineering degree course in 1908 and degree programs in mechanical engineering and electrical engineering were started in 1912 and 1932, respectively. After the University of Poona was established in 1948, the college became affiliated to the new university. In 1968, the three-year degree was extended to 4 years constituting 8 semesters.

In 2003, the institute was granted complete autonomy by the State Government of Maharashtra, thus giving it the freedom to set its own curriculum and manage its own finances.[14] The institute was renamed "Pune Institute of Engineering and Technology". This was soon changed to present "College of Engineering, Pune" in 2006. With permanent affiliation to the Savitribai Phule Pune University, the institute now is an autonomous engineering school. This has been the biggest change as far as pedagogy at COEP is concerned.

In a bid to boost research in engineering and postdoctoral research, the College of Engineering Pune (CoEP) was granted an additional campus on government land located in chikli Pcmc . This extended campus is having area of 40 acres. In academic year 2020-21 institute also commenced full time degree course in management under faculty of Management.

Campus

The campus of COEP is spread over 36 acres. The campus is divided into four parts North Campus, South Campus, Hostel campus and Playground, due to roadways in between.

The main building is the present day administrative building of the College. It houses the Director, the Dean Academic Affairs, the Dean Student Affairs, the Gymkhana, the Examination cell and other various important administrative heads of the college. The building is almost three floors tall with a base floor length of 18 meters and a width of 9 metres. The building was refurbished in 2012.[17]

Academics

Admissions

The admissions are conducted on the basis of the marks secured in Maharashtra CET and HSC board combined. These admissions are conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP). Several admissions to direct second year of BTech course are also conducted for those candidates who have completed Diploma in Engineering at different polytechnic institutes in the state of Maharashtra. These admissions are conducted through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) by DTE itself.[18]

The M.tech admissions are on the basis of the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) conducted by the seven old IITs and the IISc.

The college also provides Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes in various fields.[19] Department of Applied Sciences is a recognised PhD research centre in the subjects of Environmental Sciences and Chemistry.

Rankings

Шаблон:Infobox India university ranking COEP was ranked 12 among government engineering colleges in India by Outlook India in 2022.[20] The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranked it 50th in the engineering ranking in 2020[21] and 101-150 overall.[22]
