Particulars of Organization
In a highly competitive age of today, the vast application of Engineering & Technology across all sectors of society has become highly indispensable, which holds premise for us to move ahead in 21st century. It is both a beautiful dream as well as a challenge.
Competitiveness often depends on how our technical education institutions are able to respond to his dream and challenge. We have no dearth of talent or lack of competence in our country. Our engineers now need to prove to the world at large that the Indian Technocrat is globally competitive. Technical Education has assumed a key role in this scenario. In our bid achieve our mission, we have to train to our technocrats with required skill in emerging technologies and their applications to take up the challenges of tomorrow. This is possible only if we build and maintain high standards. We need to have a vision and total commitment to achieve excellence in Technical Education.
Professionals trained at this premier institute have excelled in industry. This indicates the competence and commitment of faculty, staff as well as availability of latest infrastructural facilities at the Institute
About Institution
The scenario in the world of technology was in a dynamic state with repaid & continuous introduction of new technologies & advancements in existing technologies in mid 30’s.At that time our country needed to have high quality manpower with technical skills. This need for technical manpower prompted Late Er. D.D. Ghay to start an Engineering Institution in June 1933 as Provincial Institute of Engineering at Hoshiarpur. After the partition in 1947, the institute was reorganized by a Private Management under the name “National Institute of Engineering’, Hoshiarpur. The private Management ran this institution till July 1962 in a private management handed over the institute to Punjab Govt. on 01- 07-1962. The Punjab Govt. shifted the institution to the present Govt. owned campus and named it as Jagat Ram Govt. Polytechnic, Hoshiarpur in order honour an imminent freedom fighter of the area Late Jagat Ram ji.
At that time the institute was running Diploma courses in three disciplines i.e. civil, Electrical and Mechanical with a total intake of 120 students in 1974-1975 a two years Diploma course in Commercial Practice and Stenography (in English) was introduced.
Our Mission
The main mission of this institute is to achieve excellence in technical education and maintain our number one position in the state. We believe in four cardinal points of achievement :
1. To equip the students with latest emerging technologies, skills and knowledge up to the level of globally competitive standards.
2. To maintain a continuous interface with industry and to bring changes in time according to the needs of industry.
3. To enhance the ability to anticipate and shape further the skills of budding engineers through individual and group activities to inculcate and encourage a life long thirst for learning in students.
4. To encourage the conceptual, inter personnel and team work skills for technical and managerial decision making among the students.
