About Us
In the late fifties, the Government of India decided to establish Regional Engg. Colleges
(RECs) under the Quality Technical Education Policy – one each in every major state –
with the prime objective of imparting quality technical education throughout the country and to foster national integration. These Regional Engg. Colleges were established as joint ventures of the Government of India and the respective State Governments.
Assam is considered as the flag bearer of the Northeast India and so in the year 1967
the 15th REC was officially established in Silchar. However it took almost a decade for
REC Silchar to start its academic programmes due to various constraints.
In the year 2002, REC was upgraded to NIT (An Institution of National Importance).
