Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) is among the premier engineering colleges in India. It was established in 1940, originally as Delhi Polytechnic and was under the direct control of Government of India. The college is presently under the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi since 1963 and is affiliated to the University of Delhi since 1952. Vide Act 6 of 2009 Govt of NCT of Delhi has upgraded DCE to the State University with the name Delhi Technological University.
DCE has been upgraded from the status of a engineering college to the position of a university and has been renamed as the Delhi Technological University. Prof. D.S.Kothari, the then Dean Faculty of Science Delhi University was on the Advisory Body of Delhi Polytechnic. He took initiatives and introduced B.E. Degree courses of 4 years duration after pre-engineering/ I.Sc. /F.Sc./ Ist yr. pass in B.Sc of Delhi University. The Delhi Polytechnic was affiliated to Delhi University and B.E. Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Textile Engineering was awarded to the students under Faculty of Technology, University of Delhi since 1952. B.E. degree in Civil Engineering was introduced in 1955. In addition to merit of qualifying examination, test and/or interview were held for the selection of candidates for admission.
Delhi College of Engineering operated from the Kashmere gate campus in the heart of Old Delhi until 1989, when construction began at the New Campus at Bawana Road in May. Moving of operations from Kashmere Gate to Bawana Road began in 1995, and the new campus formally started instruction for all four years of study starting 1999. The new campus is well connected by road. It has the latest facilities including a state-of-the-art library system, a centralized computer center, a sports complex, eight boys' hostels, three girls' hostels, and a married couples' hostel. The campus also has residential facilities for faculty and staff.

The past few years have seen Delhi College of Engineering give a new impetus to research and development. Students, along with faculty, participate in projects such as design and development of a Formula SAE car, SAE Mini Baja, Hybrid Car, solar car, unmanned aerial vehicles, innovative embedded devices appreciated worldwide and setting up a plant for manufacturing Biodiesel.Pioneered by the Defianz Racing team participating in the Formula Student competition, many student teams collaborate with universities from other countries and actively participate in international and national competitions. Delhi College of Engineering is one of the TIFAC COREs (Technology Information, Forecasting & Assessment Council's Centres Of Relevance & Excellence) in Fiber Optics and Optical Communication. Also, Students of Delhi College of Engineering have made it top-15 Worldwide slots in the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2007 and 2008. The campus at DCE has been proposed as one of the sites for the Delhi Government's plan of creating Delhi a Research and IT hub. Another plan, that of setting up a Knowledge Park at DCE as part of better infrastructure for Delhi, is underway. DCE had been selected by Intel Technology Pvt. Ltd. to join Planet Lab Consortium that has the world's top universities and industrial research labs like Princeton University, University of Washington and NEC Labs as its members.
