Brief History

The Agnel Ashram Fathers felt for a long time that the expertise they gained in the field of Technical Education at Mumbai, be utilised for the benefit of the youth of Goa.

Plans bore fruit on the 4th June 1979 when Hon. Shri H.M. Patel, the then Union Home Minister laid the foundation stone of Agnel Ashram branch at Verna, Goa. Agnel Polytechnic was the first Institute to be established by Agnel Fathers at Goa in 1981. It was initially affiliated to Board of Technical Examinations, Mumbai.

The Polytechnic was started with Diploma in Production Engineering(now Mechanical), then ConstructionEngineering(1983) and then Automobile Engineering(1985). All the three programmes are of 4year duration semester system, sandwitched pattern that is with inplant training in Industries in between the semesters. This was done in an attempt to provide ready to employ technicians to the industry.

The Computer Engineering programme was started with the assistance of Department of Electronics, Government of India, in 1987, and it was the first programme in Computer Hardware to start in Maharashtra and Goa.

The programmes in Electronics and Communication, Electronics Engg., and Medical Electronics have been started under prestigious project of upgrading Technical Education in India under World Bank Aided project, through Governments of Goa and India. Our Polytechnic being part of this project which was started in 1995, had a lot of improvement taking place besides the large expansion in infra-structural facilities. This includes setting up of a Women's Wing with two pro grammes exclusively for girl student. They are Electronics & Communication and Medical Electronics .

As an AICTE approved Institution affiliated to the Board of Technical Education, Goa we are fortunate to have the privilege of being part of, and delivering a strong Industry validated curriculum, which we augment with a myriad of co-curricular activities such as Industry/Field Visits, Guest Lectures, Seminars and Workshops. Another important feature of our programmes is the components of Industrial Training of 8 weeks duration for our Non-sandwich courses and Inplant Training of 1 year duration (in two blocks of 6 months each) for our Sandwich courses. In addition, we also encourage each of our departments to have the students organise a departmental event, which will provide them with valuable organisational skills while also developing their personalities. Our soft skills training programmes coupled with the leadership training camps and extra-curricular activities also contribute to a great extent in converting our students into competent engineers embedded with the spirit of professionalism and responsible citizenship.
