History

MGM established an educational trust in 1982 under the guidance of former Education Minister Shri Kamalkishore Kadam and a group of founder members, mostly made up of academics. The trust established its pioneer institute in the historical city of Aurangabad, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites the Ajanta Caves & Ellora Caves, but lacking in premier educational institutes. [5]

Campus

The foundation stone of the existing MGM's JNEC building was laid on 14 November 1985 by Sharad Pawar, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The college started functioning as a part of Vivekanand College, in Samarth Nagar, Aurangabad, but in September 1988 it was moved to a new location. Initially, the college campus consisted of one arm of the building (the North arm), with the chemistry lab, workshop, production lab, and library spread about it. The computer lab was opened with much fanfare in 1987. The current campus hosts dormitories for boys and girls, a sports facility, a canteen, and a bank. It is shared with other colleges under the MGM banner.

Sports

MGM's Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College Sports Complex is a sports complex within Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College. The facilities available for sports activities include a 400-meter synthetic track, a football field-cum-cricket ground with 63.5 meters of boundary, a stadium pavilion, and courts for games like hockey, volleyball, basketball, kho-kho, kabaddi, and ball badminton. Facilities are available for indoor games like table tennis, carom, chess, wrestling, weightlifting, and powerlifting. [6]

Alumni

Since 1983, approximately 10,000 students have pursued their bachelor's at the college. The college established an alumni association to keep in touch with alumni. Previously, an informal alumni association existed, but it is now registered under the association vide letter no MHA/497/04 dated 30 July 2004. As of September 2012, JNEC Alumni association has 2041 members. [7]
