Murshidabad College of Engineering and technology

Murshidabad, known all over the country as a renowned place of historical heritage and tradition still remains a backward agricultural district. To pull it out of the morass of despondent situation, the settling up of a Degree Engineering College of modern technology was the crying need to the people of this District. The concept remained a distant dream until one person came forward to realize it with firm conviction and determination. Shri Nripen Chowdhury, Ex-Sabhadhipati, Murshidabad Zill Parisad, happens to be that person to whom this institute owes much for its onward progress and development. The college came into being through formal inauguration by Dr.Ashim Dasgupta, the then Hon'ble Minister-In-Charge, Finance, Govt. of West Bengal, on 8th August 1998. The College was shifted to its own campus and it was formally opened on 4th August 2001, by Mr. Buddha Dev Bhattacharjee, the then Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal. The college is aided by the Govt. of West Bengal. Established by a voluntary Society, this non-commercial and self-financed college is on its glorious run under the competent guidance of a Governing Body. Mr.Dipak Kumar Roy is the Chairman of Society for MCET & HRD and Governing Body, MCET. The institute is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi and affiliated to the West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT).
