The University
The Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, established as Civil Engineering College, Calcutta, way back in 1856 with the idea of introducing engineering education in the country, has a long and checkered past. The University was known as Calcutta Civil Engineering College on and from 24th November, 1856, when there were only 10 students and a few instructive staff. From 12th February, 1920 the name was changed to B.E. College Shibpur. The word Shibpur was deleted from 24th March, 1921. Till 1992, it was a constituent college of the Calcutta University. In recognition of its service to the nation for all these years, the college was elevated to the status of a Deemed University in 1992 and the Honourable President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, formally inaugurated Bengal Engineering College (A Deemed University) on March 13, 1993. On 1st October, 2004, the deemed university was elevated to the status of a University with its present name.

Centre of Innovation & ideas
A new building has been identified to set up the proposed Centre of Innovation & ideas where the students will take part in discussion, experiment and will give their innovative ideas with the active help and guidance of the teachers. Best 10 innovation will be awarded every year for which alumni of the university have been contacted and they have agreed to give financial assistance towards this proposed Centre. The University is delving deep to garner support from the other people of the society and well wishers of the University.
