Good economy of a country leads to better future and it relies largely on total productivity, which is highly dependent on mechanical engineers. After establishment of Government Polytechnic in 1964. Mechanical Engineering Department comes in to existence in 1966,  with initial intake of 30 students per year with semester system. Looking to the present requirement of the diploma engineers institute has increased the intake capacity to 120 student per year in the regular diploma stream.  In addition to this looking present trend of distance learning , Director of technical Education has introduce Distance learning programme for Mechanical engineering branch. At present  total intake capacity of DL Mode is 60 students per year, Apart from this 30 students are those who have  industrial experience and remaining 30 students are fresh.

In Mechanical Engineering Department we have highly qualified and well experienced faculties having academic and industrial experience. Total strength of faculties is 18. Out of which seven faculties have got post graduation in the fields of CAD/CAM, Cryogenics, Thermal science and Production engineering.

The departments is well equipped with laboratories like  Metrology and Instrumentation, Industrial Engineering,  Production Technology, Material Technology, Machine Design, Refrigeration & Air-conditioning and to meet the demands of well-trained and professionally sound mechanical engineers.   We also have a well-equipped workshop for subjects like Manufacturing processes, Machine tool technology and  Tool Engineering, Among the highly precise machines we have CNC Trainer, I.C. engine test rig.

Industrial tours are arranged by the department to boost up exposure to the students for application of their theoretical knowledge and practical approach.
