ABOUT
Overview
The year 1999 marks the birth of a vision that was set to transform the landscape of technical education in Kerala and beyond. On June 12, 1999, the Diocesan Technical Education Trust (DTET) was established under the aegis of the Catholic Diocese of Kothamangalam. This momentous event graced by His Excellency Mar George Punnakkottil, the Bishop of Kothamangalam, marked the genesis of Viswajyothi College of Engineering and Technology. Under the guidance of H.E. Mar George Punnakkottil, the inaugural meeting of the Board of Trustees in July 1999 set the wheels in motion. Rev. Msgr. Thomas Malekudy was declared President of DTET, and Rev. Fr. Joseph Puthenkulam, the Secretary. In 2001, the college obtained approval from AICTE to commence operations as a self-financing Engineering College affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala. 120 seats were sanctioned across three disciplines, 45 in Computer Science, 30 in Electronics and Communication, and 45 in Information Technology.
