Bipin Tripathi Kumaon Institute of Technology, formerly Kumaon Engineering College (KEC), is an autonomous engineering and technology institute in Almora district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The institute is located in the city of Dwarahat.

History

The college was established by the government of Uttar Pradesh in 1986 and started functioning in 1991. Now the institute is named after the renowned Uttarakhand movement activist Bipin Chandra Tripathi.^[1]

The foundation of college was under the guidance of Narayan Dutt Tiwari on 20 April 1986, during the reign of late Chief Minister Vir Bahadur Singh; 155 acres of land were allotted for college by the UP Govt.

Academic session for B.E. was started with two branches, CSE (Core Branch) and ECE in 1991 with a well-planned educational program, similar to the one followed at IITs and RECs/NITs for the development of technology & engineering education facilities in the Kumaon Region. 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.

The institute currently offers seven undergraduate engineering programs: Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Biotechnology. Additionally, it offers three postgraduate programs: Master of Computer Applications (MCA) and Master of Technology (M.Tech.) with specializations in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

Besides this, the institute started PhD programs in 2016.
