Department of Production & Industrial Engineering, since its inception in 1964 ( Previously Production Engineering ), has been trying to impart quality education to undergraduates and train them to meet the demands of the manufacturing industry. The department has established links with the industry, R&D organizations, consultancy organizations, and academic institutes in the region in furtherance of the cause of manufacturing engineering. The department sees itself as a pathfinder of emerging technologies and techniques in the area of production engineering and develops students to be technologically and managerially sound to meet the challenges of the open market in the present era of globalization.

The main objective of production and Industrial engineering is the integration of technology with management in planning and controlling the design, development, and operation of manufacturing systems. Rapid advances in manufacturing technology, e.g., computer-controlled processes and management information systems, ERP, and new manufacturing concepts like TPS, agile manufacturing, pull system, etc., are reinforcing the recognition of technological, organizational, economic, and human factors. Furthermore, specialized training in manufacturing technology is necessary for industries in India and abroad.
