JEC was established as the Government Engineering College (GEC), Jabalpur, on 7 July 1947, during the British rule in India. It was inaugurated by the then Minister for Education of the Central Provinces, S. V. Gokhale. [6] It started functioning from the existing building of Robertson College, Jabalpur, which was constructed in the year 1916. [7] The building now houses the Civil engineering department of JEC, and Robertson College has been shifted to its present and permanent campus in Pachpedi. [8] [9] Dr. S. P. Chakravarti, the then Head of the Electrical engineering department of Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, was appointed as its first Principal. [10]

JEC is the first institute of India to award B.E. in Electronics & Telecommunication engineering, which it is offering since 1947, the first institute of India to award M.E. in Microwave engineering, Radio & UHF engineering, VHF & Carrier Telephone engineering, and High Voltage engineering, which it is offering since 1953, and the first institute of India to award PhD in Advanced Electronics, which it is offering since 1955. JEC is the first institute of Madhya Pradesh to introduce BTech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science, and Mechatronics, and MTech in Defence technology. It has installed the first TV transmitter of India, and the first HV laboratory of India. [11] [12] [6] [4] [13] [14] Madhya Pradesh's second Global Skills Park is being established at JEC over an area of 16 acres. [15]

The Silver Jubilee ceremony of the institute was celebrated in 1972, in the presence of the then Education Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Arjun Singh. [6] The institute celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1997, while the President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, Governor of Madhya Pradesh, Mohammad Shafi Qureshi and the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Digvijaya Singh, graced the Golden Jubilee ceremony. [16] [17] The Platinum Jubilee year was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Technical Education Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Yashodhara Raje Scindia, and the Minister in-charge of Jabalpur, Gopal Bhargava, on 7 July 2021. [18]

It was funded since its inception by the Government of India, until the creation of the new state of Madhya Pradesh. [19] It was affiliated since its inception to the University of Sagar, until the creation of the University of Jabalpur, and then to the State Technological University of Madhya Pradesh. In 1997, it was granted an autonomous institute status, [20] and in the year 2017, a proposal has been sent by the Ministry of Technical Education to the Government of Madhya Pradesh, to declare it a technical university.
