The Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMIFET) was established in 1985 in Delhi, India to provide engineering education. All courses of the faculty are approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). JMI FET is one of the top ranked engineering colleges in the country.[1]
History
[edit]The BE course in civil engineering was started in 1979.[2] The Faculty Of Engineering and Technology officially came into being in 1985. Undergraduate programmes in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering began is as old as the institution. Undergraduate programmes in electronics engineering began in 1996 and in computer engineering began in 2000.[3] The building was inaugurated in October 1995. The four-storey structure has pointed arches adorning the windows. The entrance itself is pyramid-shaped.
Campus
[edit]The faculty is located at Jamia Nagar, Okhla. The University cricket ground (Bhopal Ground) is the best by university standards in the country and has played host to many Ranji trophy cricket matches apart from hosting many matches including the semi-finals and the finals of the recently concluded university cricket championships.[4] The Sports Complex also has tennis, basketball, volleyball, football and rugby courts (it was the official practice venue for rugby in the Commonwealth Games 2010)[5] besides indoor facilities for table tennis and badminton apart from a synthetic athletics track. The complex also has a generously equipped gymnasium.
Admissions
[edit]Admissions to the Bachelor of Technology Programme are based on the performance in the JEE Main examination conducted by the National Testing Agency.[6]
Admissions towards the M.Tech. programme is based on the performance in GATE examination.
