PEC all set to officially become a Technical University

All is now set for the up-gradation of the Pondicherry Engineering College into a technological university with respect to a bill passed by the union territory assembly upon the approval of the President. 

The Centre has finally approved the demand of the territorial administration to upgrade Pondicherry Engineering College into a full-fledged Technical University. 

According to a gazette notification, it is going to become an affiliating, teaching and research university that will efficiently facilitate and promote studies, academic research activities, technology incubation, product innovation and extension work in technology, management, architecture, and science, according to a Gazette notification. 

There is already an existing university in the Puducherry’s Central sector to which all the academic and professional colleges including engineering colleges and medical colleges here are affiliated. 

The Puducherry Technological University Act states that the Lt. The Governor of the Union Territory is to be the Chancellor of the University and Secretary to the territorial government will by virtue of his office be the Pro-Chancellor.
