In today’s global scenario Electronics, Computer Engineering and Information Technology are the disciplines of Engineering which have maximum job potential in industries and companies. Therefore, becoming a qualified diploma engineer/trained personnel in Electronics/ Computer is quite challenging and reasonably well paying. However, it is not easy to come by. One needs good infrastructural facilities, a good academic programme, a team of well qualified and dedicated faculty and a good student. If you qualify, you will find that this centre has a well-blended mix of the above attributes. Most of ex-students of this centre are employed and some are doing exceptionally well. We are proud of all of them (cf. annexure). Let us hope that you also become one of them.

With the merging of all CEDTIs with DOEACC Society on 14^th December 2002, all erstwhile CEDTIs’ have been renamed as DOEACC Centres.

The history of DOEACC Centre (formerly CEDTI) dates back to 1974 when the Department of Electronics (DoE) now Ministry of Communication & Information Technology (MCIT), Govt. of India and the University Grants Commission (UGC) set up the first CEDT within the premises of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore with assistance from Swiss Development Corporation. The objective was to bridge the gap between the academic institutions and industries by turning out Electronics/Computer Engineers specially trained in Product design. A decade after the successful running of CEDT, Bangalore, the Department of Electronics (MIT) initiated a programme to set up similar centres in other parts of the country with a wider objective to develop human resources at different levels and in different specialized areas of Electronics and Information Technology. As a part of this programme, eight more CEDTI Units (now DOEACC Centre) were set up in different parts of the country, the latest being RIELIT (regional Institute of e-Learning & IT) at Kohima.

Remaining DOEACC (formerly CEDTI) Centres are located at Aurangabad, Calicut, Gorakhppur, Imphal, Srinagar/Jammu and Tezpur/Guwahati, Chandigarh and Kolkota (last two being formerly RCC’s). Organisationally, DOEACC Centre is a unit of DOEACC Society an autonomous Scientific Society under Ministry of Communication & Information Technology, Department of Information Technology, Govt. of India. Together, the DOEACC Centres offer a wide range of formal and non-formal courses at post matric, under graduate as well as post graduate levels for students and professionals in areas covering Electronics Product Design and Technology, Maintenance & Servicing, BioInformatics, ITES, Computer Applications and Engineering.
