[edit] College Historical Sketch

The Northern District of erstwhile Mysore State had no facilities for technological training for a long time. As a result of sustained efforts and donations made by some philanthropists of Davangere, Government of Mysore approved the establishment of an Engineering College at Davangere in the year 1951 and was named after the donors Brahmappa Devendrappa Thavanappanavar as B.D.T. College of Engineering and subsequently changed to as "Government B.D.T. College of Engineering". It was the fourth engineering college to be started in the old Mysore State. The college was started initially with the Civil Engineering Department with an intake of 90 students.

Subsequently, the intake was increased to 120 in the year 1957 with the introduction of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering courses with an intake of 40 students for each branch. The introduction of the Electronics & Communication Engineering course in the year 1967, Computer Sciences & Instrumentation Technology courses in 1984 and Industrial Production Engineering in 1996 has led to the increase of total intake to 390.

The Post-Graduate Programme leading to the award of Master's Degree in Production Engineering Systems Technology under Mechanical Department was sanctioned in the year 1987 and started in the year 1988-89.

Ph.D. Research Programme is available in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Production Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering disciplines of this College.
