To become a pioneering Department of producing Outstanding Agricultural Engineers through World Class technical education, training and research.
The Graduates are moulded to become Entrepreneurs, Industrialists, Technocrats and Scientists in the field of Agricultural Engineering.
To help the farming Community from present day Challenges in Agriculture through Farm Mechanization, Micro irrigation, Resource conservation of soil, water, energy, Post-harvest handling and Food Processing Technologies by providing quality education along with Industrial tie
B.Tech (Agricultural Engineering) course aims at giving Engineering knowledge in the field of Agriculture. The Department of Agricultural Engineering provides state of the art laboratories for the students including the Farm Machinery, Soil and Water Conservation, Food Processing, Irrigation and Drainage, Bio Energy, Microbiology laboratory and Soil Science laboratory. The department has tied-up with numerous organizations to offer internship and placement opportunities to the students. It also encourages the students to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities for holistic development. The department regularly organizes conferences, seminars, guest lectures, workshops, symposiums and training programmes to maximize the impact of classroom teaching and learning experiences. Apart from the regular curriculum perspective, students have a structured set of non-credit courses such as industrial training, rural job experiences, social care, NCC, sports, language courses, soft skills, and so on.

• Design the system components or processes to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, safety and sustainability.
• Apply research-based knowledge and methods to provide valid conclusions.
• Explore the techniques and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practices.
• Communicate ideas, principles and theory effectively through oral presentations, computer-based tools and software and written reports.
• Demonstrate and apply engineering and management principles and function in inter-disciplinary team while planning the research projects.
• Engage in the lifelong learning process in context of technological advancements of farm mechanizations.
• Develop competencies in computer and automatic control systems, information systems, mechanical systems and natural resource systems to solve agriculture engineering problems.
• The graduates will demonstrate knowledge of innovative technologies needed for the agricultural practice.
• The graduates will develop skills necessary to design the process to evaluate and implement problem solutions of agriculture.
• The graduates will develop continuous professional and technical growth so as to become a professional engineer and successful leader.
• The graduates will be capable to address the issues of ethical and social impact of engineering practice.
The department is equipped with research centres such as the Centre for Composite Materials, Centre for Advanced Thermal Studies, Centre for BioComposites, and Centre for Surface Engineering for students to carry out in-depth research activities and learn practically which helps the undergraduate students to get exposure and experience in the advanced machines. The department has funded research projects in the area of Optimization Studies, Composite Materials, Machining Studies, Supersonic Flow, Heat transfer, and CO2 sequestration by DST, DRDO, AICTE and International funding agencies. The department receives regular funding from many prestigious organisations working in the field of Science and Technology. The department currently has 9 ongoing research projects with total funding of INR. 1,81,67,690 and completed 12 research projects with total funding of INR. 234.6 Lakhs. The department has 100 publications published under their name.
This moulded them to develop 10 innovative products in 5 years. They have also got 23 patents and 55 publications under their name. The students have done wonders in the field of extracurricular activities apart from academics. The students took part in many National and International Events” and bagged lots of medals. The students of B.tech- Mechanical Engineering are offered a One Credit Course from the Industry and International Professors. The department invites resource persons from industries and abroad to handle one credit course in order to raise awareness and bring industrial skills to our students (15hours).
Most of the students from the B.Tech Mechanical programme doing their final year Project/ internships at industries/ International universities for a semester.
