The College of Technology and Engineering (CTAE) of Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, is a constituent college of the Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology.
The Government of Rajasthan founded the Agriculture University, Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology, Udaipur by the splittting of Rajasthan Agriculture University, Bikaner on November 1, 1999. Since then it has been the principal academic institution supporting mainly south and south-eastern parts of Rajasthan, shouldering the national responsibility of identifying, designing, preparing and adapting new techniques in the field of production technology for agricultural development.
The College of Technology and Engineering was established in 1964 by offering undergraduate course in Agricultural Engineering. It had its beginning in the Rajasthan College of Agriculture and shifted to its present premises on new campus of the university in 1968. The academic and physical facilities of Udaipur Polytechnic were transferred by state government to the college in 1975-76. Additional degree programmes in Electrical, Mechanical and Mining Engineering were added in 1996, Computer Science and Engineering in 2000, Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2006, and Information Technology and Civil Engineering in 2007.
All degree programmes are approved by AICTE. The admissions to the degree programmes are made through State level Pre Engineering Test(RPETEAP) and All India Engineering Entrance Examination(AIEEE). Fifteen per cent of the seats in Agricultural Engineering are filled up through ICAR.
The college offers a postgraduate programme leading to M.E.(Ag) and Ph.D in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, Irrigation Water Management Engineering, Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, Processing and Food Engineering and Renewable Energy Sources Engineering. The post graduate programme in Agricultural Engineering was started in 1978. The Ph.D. programmes in all specialization areas of Agricultural Engineering were started in 1996.
The college offers a postgraduate Diploma programme in Organic Agriculture Management. Postgraduate programmes have been added leading to M. E.(Mechanical) in CAD/CAM and M. E.(Electrical) in Power Systems and Control Engineering and Power Electronics, M. E.(Mining) in Mine Planning, M. E.(Computer) in Computer Engineering, and in MBA(Engineering and Technology).
The college is 7 km from Udaipur City railway station and bus terminal and 2 km from Rana Pratap Nagar railway station. It is accessible by a by-pass road branching near Pratapnagar from the National Highway No. 76 leading to Chittorgarh.
