(State Funded Government Institute and an Associated College of AKTU Lucknow)
In order to expand the reach of quality technical education in the state of Uttar Pradesh, the government approved the establishment of rajkiya engineering colleges in the districts of Basti, Gonda, Mirzapur, and Pratapgarh. In furtherance of this policy decision the Department of Technical Education, Government of Uttar Pradesh, through Office Memorandum No. 2053/16-1-2023-14(54)/2014, Lucknow, dated August 2, 2023, accorded approval for the establishment and commencement of a Rajkiya Engineering College Pratapgarh in district Pratapgarh from the academic session 2023–24.
Pursuant to the above office memorandum, the institution was initially established under the name Rajkiya Engineering College, Pratapgarh. Subsequently, as per the decision of the State Government, the institution was renamed as Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Rajkiya Engineering College, Pratapgarh.
The college commenced its academic activities from the academic session 2023–24 as a state-funded government engineering institution associated with Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University Uttar Pradesh Lucknow. During the construction phase of its permanent campus, the academic activities for the academic sessions 2023–24 and 2024–25 were conducted at Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology (KNIT), Sultanpur, as per the directions of the State Government.
Subsequently, based on the decision of the State Government and the University through Office Order No. अ0क0प्रा0वि0/कुप0का0/2025/14111(i) dated: July 26, 2025, approved the commencement of academic activities at the newly developed permanent campus in Pratapgarh. Accordingly, Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Rajkiya Engineering College Pratapgarh has been functioning from its permanent campus from the academic session 2025–26, with effect from August 1, 2025.
The institution is supported by adequate infrastructure and well-equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories developed in accordance with AICTE norms and standards. These facilities effectively facilitate outcome-based education, innovative teaching–learning practices, research activities, and hands-on technical training.

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Rajkiya Engineering College Pratapgarh. It is a state-funded government engineering institution established by the Government of Uttar Pradesh in the academic session 2023–24. The Institute has been functioning from its newly developed permanent campus since the academic session 2025–26.
The institute offers four undergraduate programs: Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Each program has an approved intake of 60 students. The curricula are designed to meet current academic standards and industry requirements. Emphasis is placed on strong fundamentals, practical skills, and professional competence.
The institute aims to serve students from Pratapgarh and surrounding districts, with special focus on those from economically weaker and socially disadvantaged sections of society. We believe that education serves as a vital pathway for social and economic mobility and sustainable development. It seeks to provide affordable, accessible, and high-quality technical education to deserving students who aspire to become engineers despite social or economic limitations.
With extensive experience in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Data Science, I firmly believe that the future of engineering education must be interdisciplinary, research oriented, and closely connected with real-world applications. At REC Pratapgarh, our academic vision is guided by this belief. We emphasize strong theoretical foundations, hands-on learning, collaborative research, and active industry engagement.
Above all, BRBBAREC Pratapgarh is guided by the principles of social justice, equality, and inclusiveness. The institution is committed to ensuring that opportunity and merit are not limited by socio-economic background. It strives to create a fair and supportive academic environment for all students. Through quality teaching, practical training, continuous mentoring, and value-based education, the institute develops engineers who are technically competent, ethically responsible, and socially aware. These graduates are prepared to contribute meaningfully to national development. I warmly invite students, educators, researchers, and industry partners to join us in this collective effort to build a vibrant, inclusive, and future-ready technical institution.
