The Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College (JNEC) is an engineering college in Aurangabad CIDCO, India. It was established in 1982 and is affiliated with the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University in Maharashtra.

The school is financed and run by the Mahatma Gandhi Mission (MGM).[1] Dr. H. H. Shinde is the principal of the institute.

History

[edit]

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.[2]

Campus

[edit]

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.
