ADCET,Ashata

Having accomplished high reputation in western part of Maharashtra state as on today, it is imperative to look back to the development of ADCET on time scale from its just born state in the year 1999. With a view to make available enormous opportunities for the rural masses in higher technical education, Honorable Shri. Annasaheb Dange, a social reformer in true sense, vowed to establish an ambitious project of an engineering college at this interior though, but well connected place Ashta, District – Sangli. In 1999, the year of its inception, the college started more or less in just a make shift type of structure. Despite of obvious hardships of infancy, the management, Sant Dnyaneshwar Shikshan Sanstha, Islampur did not look back and went ahead with constructing a full fledged building at once. With the fastest speed, the construction was completed at the start of the year 2001. The classes had in fact started in the new building since academic year 2000. With initial 3 UG programmes namely Mechanical Engineering, Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering and Information Technology. Computer Science and Engineering was added in the year 2001 and Electrical Engineering was added in 2004.

With its dedicated faculty, staff and sincere efforts of students put together it can be evidently said that the place Ashta has some thing special in it that makes people work harder. This fact was undoubtedly recognized by the university results of the first ever outgoing batch in the year 2003. The enviable features of these results were that overall result was 98.5%; all the students without exception passed in first class; and 85% out of pass were in distinction. The success is still more noteworthy as it has been consistently maintained by the successive batches. In these hardly 8 years, the college has been able to lift up its status by earning several laurels to its store. Few among them are ISO 9001-2000 certification, all-time high academic performance every successive year, and SAMAJA-SHREE award earned by the Ex-Principal Dr. V.N. Bapat, from Indian Council of Management Executives, Mumbai. The college, as per its own vision, is poised to obtain the reasonable reputation in the state and further in the country in a period of about 5 years.
