The College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology established in March, 1984 with the broad mandate of teaching, research and extension education in agricultural engineering. The first batch of B. Tech. (Agril. Engg.) was admitted in July 1984, considering the importance of Agricultural Engineering under the then Gujarat Agricultural University at Junagadh Campus.

With the split of Gujarat Agricultural University into four universities with effect from May 1, 2004, now the college is one of the constituent colleges of Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The Junagadh Agricultural University Campus is located in the heart of Junagadh city at about 4 km from Railway Station and 3 km from Junagadh Bus Station. The College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (CAET) is located at the campus. The college building is spread in about 6 ha land. The total in built area of the building area is 25000 sq.m. In addition to this, the Instructional farm of about 35 ha is maintained by the college. Instructional farm is used for UG, PG and departmental research and practical. It is also providing demonstration of a mechanized farm to students and farmers. It is also used to produce breeder and truthful seed to the farmers.

The Agricultural Engineering plays a very important role in increasing production and productivity of agricultural crops, thereby, increasing the income of farmers. The important areas in which Agricultural Engineering profession has to play major role are timeliness of farm operation through efficient agricultural implements and machinery including testing and evaluation of farm implements / machineries as per BIS system, appropriate land and water management activities, value addition and efficient post-harvest technology and processing of farm produces, efficient management of renewable energy resources, protective cultivation green house technology, use of plastic in crop cultivation and use of Artificial Intelligence in the agricultural equipment, machinery and process.

DEGREE OFFERED

The College offers facilities for study of Agricultural Engineering, leading to degree of Bachelor of Technology (Agricultural Engineering) with intake capacity of 100 students. The M.Tech. Programme in different disciplines started from June, 1994. The disciplines included Master of Technology (Agril. Engg.) in Farm Machinery & Power Engineering, Soil & Water Engineering, Processing & Food Engineering and Renewable Energy Engineering with intake capacity of students in PG is about 30. From the year 2001, Ph.D. programme has also been started in discipline of Soil & Water Engineering. Since year 2005-06 Ph.D. programme started in other disciplines like Farm Machinery & Power Engineering, Processing & Food Engineering and Renewable Energy Engineering with total intake capacity of about 15 students.
