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.

Contents

It is financed by the government of Uttarakhand and managed by the Board of Governors with the Minister of Technical Education Government of Uttarakhand as the chairman and Secretary of Technical Education as vice-chairman. Originally it was affiliated to Uttarakhand Technical University.

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 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.

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.

Besides this, the institute started PhD programs in 2016. The institute offers other infrastructural facilities for faculty and students, such as hostels, staff residential campus, departmental buildings, student's activity club and a multipurpose hall have been developed. An atmosphere conducive to learning and all-round personality development of the students is being created. Emphasis is being laid on self-discipline and mutual respect.
