The laboratories are well equipped with the state of the art instruments. The projects offered

are in keeping with the needs of the industry and the recent advancement in the technical field.

The Department provides research and consultancy services to various public and private

sector organisations, and receives research and modernization grants from DST Bihar, MHRD,

and AICTE. The Civil Engineering department has recently been assigned projects of HUDCO in

which low cost housing in rural and urban areas are being constructed. One such low cost

housing building in the institute funded by HUDCO serves as an example to the public living in

rural and urban areas of Bhagalpur. The department also serves as a state technical agency to

the ministry of rural development, Government of India.

Department of Electrical Engineering

The Electrical Engineering Department of BCE Bhagalpur was established in the year 1960. The

department offers one undergraduate program (B Tech in Electrical Engineering)

The department has highly dedicated and qualified faculty who impart individual attention to

the students, prompting them to rise above ordinary levels to face the competitive world. The

alumni are well placed in electrical core industries like SBPDCL, NBPDCL, BSNL, NTPC, IOCL,

BARC, ISRO, CIL, GAIL, ONGC, DVC as well as in various core industries. Our alumni are also

working as faculty in various government aided/self-financing engineering colleges. Also, a

fairly good number of our students had joined for post graduate programmes. Some of our

students are entrepreneurs too. The Electrical maintenance wing of the college is under the

Electrical department enabling the students to gain practical exposure from the department

itself. Also the various industrial visits, industry internships, attending industrial exhibitions

and talks by experts from the industry have helped the students to keep abreast with the latest

developments in the industry.

Apart from academics, the Department constantly strives to inculcate an awareness and

understanding of moral, ethical and professional obligations among the youngsters to mould

them as valuable engineers both for the industry as well as for the society. The department has

to its credit as Indian patent of an automatic electrical item developed by Dr.Patralekh, a

brilliant alumnus and HOD of electrical engineering.

Departmental Activities during Covid-19 Lockdown

The year 2020 has made everyone witness to an extraordinary situation rising out of a global

pandemic and subsequent lockdown. With this unprecedented lockdown everything has come

to an abrupt halt and the academic world is not an exception. Because of the forced closure of

educational institutions, the entire higher education system has been badly disturbed. In this

type of situation e-learning has emerged as the most effective option – both for the students/

teachers as well as the college/ university management. Faculty members at BCE, Bhagalpur

are grappling with new ways of managing this sudden transition to online education after the

physical classrooms do not remain a viable option anymore. Various platforms such as Zoom,

Google Meet, Google Classroom etc. are being explored for online teaching, webinars, training

and so on. Here is a quick glance at education and management at BCE during the lockdown

phase.

Induction Program

Bhagalpur College of Engineering (BCE), Bhagalpur had prepared itself to conduct a 3 week

long Induction Program as per the AICTE Model Curriculum. BCE is situated at the bank of

the holy river Ganga and gets flooded almost every year.. The admissions through Bihar

Combined Entrance Competitive Examination(BCECE) started in second week of August

and was supposed to end by 3rdweek of August. Also, a number of holidays were scheduled

in the month of October-November. Sighting all these conditions, the Induction Program

was initially scheduled to start from 26th August, 2019 and end on 14

th September 2019.

However, due to the delay in admission process, the dates were revised and it

started on 02nd September, 2019 and ended on 16

th September, 2019. It ran very smoothly

for the entire duration and students attended various sessions with zeal. The Induction

Program ran for 2 weeks but the faculty members put a great effort so that the new

students could get familiarized with the college environment and look forward to becoming

a part of the ecosystem.

The following contains the detail of events/activities conducted during the 2-week

duration (02nd September, 2019 to 16

th September, 2019).

A. Inaugural Day

The inauguration ceremony was conducted on 02ndSeptember, 2019 at the Seminar Hall,

AutoCAD Building. The chief guest Prof. Arvind Chaubey and the guest of honor Col. Satish

Kumar along with the Principal and other dignitaries inaugurated the Induction Program

by lighting the lamp. The Principal, Prof. Achintya welcomed the guests, dignitaries,

students and their parents.

Prof. Achintya introduced everyone with the glorious history of the college which has given

many professionals working at key positions in the service of the nation and the world.

Prof. Arvind Chaubey elaborated on the role of technology and research in making career

as well as progress of the nation. Col. Satish Kumar enlightened the students with the


39

importance of discipline in life. He also told them how engineers are playing a key role in

defending the nation from external as well as internal security threats. Dr. N.K. Choudhary

advised the students to keep good company in the college and develop network among

senior-juniors for peer learning and mutual help.

B. Diagnostic Test/English/Proficiency Modules

To assess the shortcomings of newly admitted students and identify weaker students in

English, a diagnostic test was conducted by Ms. Anshu Priya. The classes were conducted

on alternate days.

C. Diagnostic Test/Computer/ Proficiency Modules

To assess the shortcomings of newly admitted students and identify weaker students in

Computer, a diagnostic test was conducted by Mr. Sunil Kumar Suman & Mr. Gaurav Kumar.

In this more than 180 students were having problem with Computer fundamentals. Since

the number was very high, proficiency modules for computer fundamentals were

conducted on alternate days.

D. General Enterprise Test

General Enterprise Tendency (GET) test was conducted for first year students. The test is

aimed to find out the enterprising potential of a student. The test assesses six quality

parameters namely; Enterprising Skill, Self Motivation, Creative Tendency, calculated Risk

Taking Ability and Locus of Control. It consists of 54 questions. Anyone scoring more than

81% has the maximum enterprising potential i.e. they can go for start-up at anytime. The

aim of the test was to find out the dreamers who can have innovative ideas. The start-up

cell under Mr. Abhishek Kumar Choudhary conducted this test in which around 220

students participated.

Mr. Qaisar N.K. Jani delivered his lecture on 09thSeptember, 2019. He told the students to

find their weakness and make it their strength. He told the students to focus more on

developing their skills. He told them that merely acquiring bookish knowledge won’t help

in the long run. A student must take part in all types of activities. This will not only help

them understand themselves but also help them to find their strength and weakness. He


39

told them to utilize their energy in a constructive manner. He also suggested them to be

honest to themselves which will help them in boosting their confidence. Later many

students asked questions in the questionnaire session.

F. Mentor-Mentee Group Introduction

students about gender equality who will eventually become the professionals as they

graduate and also creating a women friendly attitude there by creating a better atmosphere

in work places. The session was interactive, participatory and very informative to the

students.

The emphasis was given on the topics such as introduction and difference between Gender

and Sex and what factor governs this difference. The Personality structures of men and

women, their attitude towards women's development, Different stages of women

empowerment, Domestic Violence and Sexual harassment against women at workplace,

Stereotypes of men and women in today's male centric society, Social constraints like

patriarchy that prevents women in attaining gender equality and Activities to overcome

such issues.
