The College of Engineering and Technology (CET) was established in the year 2002 under the aegis of the Hindu Educational Society, Moradabad (registered under the Societies Registration Act 1860). The activities of CET were promoted by a group of public spirited entrepreneurs guided by the great visionary and educationist Late Shri Onkar Saran Kothiwal, the past Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Institute, who dedicated his life for the cause of the basic education amongst the poor and women as well as for the promotion of professional education and research, in the region. Subsequently, the College, under the able stewardship of the great creative thinker and untiring activist Dr. R. M. Dubey, the Managing Director of the College and with the administrative support and patronage from Mr. Rajiv Kothiwal, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the College has now grown into one of the most sought after institutions in the country that has resulted from the unwavering commitments of the Society and the mandate it has given itself in terms of those commitments. A number of colleges have been established by the Society. College of Pharmacy, comprising three departments: Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, and Pharmaceutics; College of Computing, comprising Department of Computer Applications; College of Management Studies, comprising Department of Management Studies; and College of Engineering and Technology, comprising five departments: Biotechnology, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology, and Electronics and Communication Engineering, each supported by the Department of Humanities and Applied Sciences. The respective Departments of the Colleges of the Institute have separate spacious buildings of their own. The undergraduate courses in Engineering are affiliated to Uttar Pradesh Technical University out of which three have already been accredited by NBA-AICTE. The lush green campus of the College is spread over 51 acres of land, with sprawling lawns and playgrounds, and is aesthetically planned and designed with excellent facilities to develop a congenial environment for the students pursuing their studies, away from the daily hustle and bustle of city life.
