The department has intake of 90 students. A competent and professional team of 15 full time faculty, mostly having Ph.D. and M.Tech. qualifications from reputed universities, is backing up the steady growth and development of this department. The dedicated faculty has created an active teaching-learning interface. The Internet facility has been provided to the offices of all faculty and technical supporting staff, as well as to all laboratories of the department. Other activities of the department includes Research, Consultancy, Counseling, Carreer Guidance and Co-Curricular activities. Field Trips and Educational Tours are compulsory part of the curriculum where they visit private and public sector undertakings to have a feel of the latest technology.

The deptt has 16 laboratories fully equiped with latest equipment and has 6 technical supporting staff to provide strong and active support in the smooth functioning of the different laboratories. The laboratories are equipped to carry out research in all areas related to Mechanical and Production & Industrial Engineering.

Department is being run under the able guidance of  Dr. T.S. Sidhu
