Interesting news I assume it will be set up by state government. Even if I would not have passed out from Assam Engineering College, I would have thought government would first make the existing engineering colleges AEC and JEC more vibrant.Even after 50 years,AEC is far behind technical institutes like Jadavpur or Sibpur or Punjab Engineering College. I am not making the comparison with IITs and NITs which are in different category. But Jadavpur, BE college sibpur or PEC are just state government administered-just like AEC. AEC faces sheer negligance. As long as it is churning out few hundred engineers, what is the need to make it a centre for excellance? That is the government attitude. And in present state of Assam's affair,as Jalukbari does not fall in any of the special "autonomous" territory of Assam, ap package or fund for AEC's revival will be hard to come by. I salut the teachers who are still running the show in neglected institutes like AEC and JEC. It would have been good if instead of investing on a new Dhemaji engineering college, fund would have been used to increase seats and facilities and image of AEC first.
