From the academic session 1978-79, the college switched over to the four year Degree programmes. In the year 1983-84, an under Graduate Course in Electronics Engineering had been introduced with an intake of 60 students. From the year 1988-89, two additional courses viz. Production Engineering and Computer Engineering were introduced with the approved intake of 30 students in each. From the year 1995-96 a degree course in Chemical Engineering had been introduced with an intake of 30 students which was later increased to 60 students from the year 1996-97.
The college has a campus of over 1 km² (256 acre) of land on the Surat-Dumas Highway, in the city of Surat, Gujarat in the area known as Ichchhanath, about 13 km from the Surat Railway Station. It was earlier called Sardar Vallabhbhai Regional College of Engineering and Technology (SVRCET). This institute offers seven undergraduate courses of Bachelor of Technology B.Tech in various disciplines like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Electronics, Chemical and Computers . It also offers postgraduate courses M.Tech. in Environmental engineering, Structural engineering, Water-resources engineering, Turbo Machines, Mechanical, Electronics and Chemical Engineering. as well as Doctoral programs Ph.D. Admissions to the undergraduate course is competitive through the AIEEE, while the admission to the post-graduate programs requires competitive score in GATE.
The institute has in all eleven hostels, nine male and two female, accommodating a total of over 3000 students.
