ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT:-

In 1920, late Bholanath Baruah, a leading citizen of Assam, a timber merchant by Profession, from his long experiences in different fields strongly felt the need of a technical school in Assam. In his opinion, without technical education, development of a state could not be possible. He thought of establishing such an institute at Jorhat because Jorhat was the central position of Assam and further surrounded by a number of tea gardens. With this view, he came forward and donated rupees one lakh for the establishment of the institute and thereby opened one trust to guide and look after the affairs. This amount was deposited to the then Government of Assam with a view to have a prompt action from the Govt. And he expected to commemorate the visit of the then Prince of Wales of UK in the month of November 1921. Mr. Baruah's idea came into reality and got positive response from the Govt. and finally in 1927, the Institute was established in the name of "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Technical school" and later on in 1946 it was renamed as " His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Institute of Engineering & Technology". The Institute is located at the heart of Jorhat town which is 0.5 km from Jorhat town railway station and 5 km from Rowriah airport.

At the very beginning, a certificate course on Mechanic was started in the technical school to cater the technical manpower need of the state especially for Assam PWD department and oil industry. Later on the Mechanic trade was renamed as Higher Motor Mechanic (HMM). In 1948, the certificate course was converted to 3-year Diploma course in Mechanical- Automobile Engineering and with one year compulsory practical training again in the year 1957, the four year Diploma course was introduced in Mechanical Engineering.

The intake capacity of Mechanical department was 35 at the start of the course. Intake capacity was increased to 40 from 2008.
