BENGAL ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE UNIVERSITY, SHIBPUR

HOWRAH –

711 103.

A BRIEF PROFILE OF THE UNIVERSITY

The Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, established as Calcutta

Civil Engineering College, way back in 1856, with the idea of introducing

engineering education in the country, has long and glorious past. In the year 1920, the

college was renamed as Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur. Till 1992, it was a

constituent college of the Calcutta University and has been offering PG Courses in

Engineering since 1954. In recognition of its service to the nation for all theses years,

the college was elevated to the status of a Deemed University in 1992 and the then

Honorable President of India, Dr. Sankar Dayal Sharma formally inaugurated theUniversity on March 13, 1993. From 1st October 2004, the Institute was further

elevated to the status of a State University and was renamed as Bengal Engineering

and Science University, Shibpur.

The vision of the University is to be one of the best ten excellent engineering and

science universities of the country, committed to transforming India to a developed

nation and partnering in the realization of the Developed India Vision 2020, through

development of world-class engineers and scientists. The university functions as a

research-intensive university whose prime areas of activity are creation of knowledge

and dissemination of knowledge in an environment of research which ensures that

teaching and learning are conditioned by the latest research, and the nation is

endowed with skilled manpower of the highest quality.

The above are being achieved with the help of highly qualified faculties, highly

motivated students and state of the art laboratories and equipment.

The University covers a pleasant green area of nearly 49 hectares and has the

following in campus facilities.

A well equipped Gymnasium A small hospital

Well maintained Sports Fields

A Students’ Canteen

A well equipped Institute Hall

for cultural activities Hostel for P.G. students A bank with ATM Counter

Campus-wide Networking University Guest House etc.

It is located in a sylvan surrounding on the bank of the holy and mighty river

Hooghly, adjacent to the famous Indian Botanic Garden and is 20 minutes drive from

the heart of the city of Kolkata.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

About 20 institutional scholarships are available in each cycle. The financial package is

similar to UGC JRF scheme; however HRA is not available. Other than the Universityfellowships, one may enjoy scholarships from different Government (UGC, DST etc.) and

Private bodies (under sponsored projects from the Industries) as per the financial packagesoffered by those organizations. Moreover, Ph D scholarships may be available under QIPand TEQIP schemes.
