Seeing the availability, capability, and usefulness of land, the college prepared a master plan and project report regarding development in 1996, which was approved by the administrative council.
    At present, the institute runs seven graduate engineering programs — Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Biochemical Engineering — and three postgraduate programs: Masters of Computer Applications, Master of Technology (M.Tech.) in CSE and Mechanical departments.
