History

Netaji Subhash Engineering College (NSEC) has been set up, keeping in mind the ideals of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, whose contribution to the Indian Freedom Movement remains invaluable forever. Netaji had dreamt of vibrant, strong and powerful India, an India which would be independent and self reliant, not only politically, but also in the spheres of Education & Technology. He strongly believed that true independence can only stem from strong base in education and technology.

His vision is our beacon and to give a concrete shape to his vision, we have set up Netaji Subhash Engineering College. We believe in his ideals that intelligent minds are the greatest resources in any walk of life. Our vision is to infuse young intelligent minds with cutting edge technical education and help them to become matured professionals poised and ready to accept technical and managerial challenges in the global scenario.

Administration

Nature and Extent of involvement of faculty and students in academic affairs/improvements:

• Academic Council has been formed consisting of all the Faculty Members, Registrar, and Librarian etc.
• Academic Committee has been formed consisting of senior faculty members for day-to-day monitoring of the academic activities.
• Regular interactions are being taken place with the student representatives in view of academic activities of the institute.
• Regular meeting with HODs for exchange of views for the betterment of academic activities.

The Faculty members & students work together to make the institute a Centre of Excellence. The feedback system of the college is a bipolar process where the students & the faculty members help to improve each other and enhance their potentiality in every possible way. This is in turn paves the way for a strong academic foundation.

• Annual Tech Fest ~ AVENIR

The Annual Tech Fest Avenir is one of the earliest Tech Fests of Kolkata was set up in lines with Kshitij of Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. The tech fest has seen participants from almost all the major engineering colleges of India. It started in the year 2003 with a participation strength of 100 only. Over the years it has grown enormously with Avenir 2008 seeing participants count of over 1000 from all major engineering colleges of India.

Problems

The first batch of the college faced a tremendous problem as far as placements were concerned. Being a new college with little known credibility, the students faced an uphill task to land up with jobs. This problem was faced by the subsequent batches till the year 2004 when for the first time, a corporate placement cell was formed. The problem with placement assistance is apparently no longer a issue. However, only software giants visit the campus. Government majors like Indian Oil Corporation and the other Navaratna Companies of India still reject students from self aided engineering colleges of the state of Bengal.
Another problem often faced by the students of the college is the lack of a brand name. The finest management institutes of India and the Ivy-League American Universities still do not take any interest in private engineering colleges of Bengal.
However, as the days go on, it is expected that the college will emerge as a technological power-house in India and will be recognized as one of the prestigious and finest Technological Schools of India.
