Quick Facts

About DRGITR – History, Mission & Vision

History

DRGITR was established in 2008 by the IBSS trust as IBSS College of Engineering, Amravati. The institute was later renamed to honour Dr. Rajendra Gode.

Faculty & Academics

DRGITR maintains a faculty of experienced engineers and researchers, several of whom hold Ph.D. degrees from SGBAU, CCS University, and other recognised universities. Notable recent faculty achievements include Ph.D. completions in Physics (thin-film technology), Mathematics (complex analysis/operator theory), and Mechanical Engineering (waste heat recovery). The institute follows SGBAU’s curriculum for most programmes and is transitioning to an autonomous curriculum under its newly granted autonomous status. Teaching methodology combines lecture, project-based learning, industrial visits, and Swayam-NPTEL online certifications. Students can enrol in NPTEL courses via the institute’s Local Chapter.

Internship & Industrial Training

B.Tech students typically undergo a 4-week to 8-week industrial internship in the pre-final or final year as part of the SGBAU curriculum requirement. The Training & Placement Cell (TAPC) coordinates internship opportunities with industry partners. Details of mandatory internship duration, industrial visit schedule, and project requirements vary by branch — verify at the DRGITR T&P Cell or the respective department head.

Final Verdict

Dr. Rajendra Gode Institute of Technology & Research, Amravati is a legitimate, AICTE-approved, NAAC B+-accredited private engineering college that has evolved significantly since its 2008 founding. Its newly granted autonomous status (2025), UGC 2(f) recognition, and active research culture via its MV Consultancy Cell and faculty publications distinguish it from other similarly-sized private colleges in the Amravati region.

The annual B.Tech fee of ₹85,000 (OPEN, Yr 1–2) is regulated by the Maharashtra FRA and is comparable to peer institutions in the region. The addition of AI & Data Science and CS & IT branches reflects an attempt to align with current job market demands. The presence of MBA and MCA programmes on the same campus provides students a pathway for higher education without changing institutions.

The primary caveat is the limited availability of publicly verifiable placement data. Before admitting, prospective students should directly contact the DRGITR Training & Placement Cell, speak with alumni, and verify actual placement records. For students whose MHT CET score positions them in the mid-to-lower tier of Amravati private engineering admissions, DRGITR is a credible, regulated choice — especially for CSE, AI&DS, and new-age programme seekers.
