Regional Engineering CollegeRegional Engineering College (RECs) are premier schools of engineering and technology education in India. Recently, the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, decided to upgrade, in phases, all 17 Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs) as National Institutes of Technology (NITs), on the lines of the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). During the second five year plan (1956-61), a number of industrial projects were contemplated. And, to ensure enough supply of trained personnel to meet the demand for these projects, it was determined to start Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs), at the rate of one per each major state, which can churn out graduates with good engineering merit. During these years, RECs have produced an enormous number of quality professionals who are occupying several pivotal roles in the government (IAS, IPS etc) and industry, in India and abroad.
