College of Engineering Pune (COEP) was started as a Pune Engineering Class in 1854 to provide suitable learnings to the subordinate officers in the Public Work Department in Bhawani Peth, Pune with three detached houses for teaching and one separate house for the Principal. The foundation stone of the new college was laid by then Governor Sir Bartle Frere in 1865, then it was affiliated to the University of Bombay in 1866. However, in 1868, the college was moved to the new buildings. In 1879, two new classes, Agricultural and Forest classes, were added to the college and the name of the college was changed from ‘The Pune Civil Engineering College’ to ‘The College of Science.’ However, in 1911, the name of the college was again changed to College of Engineering Pune and was affiliated to the University of Bombay and later it was affiliated to the University of Pune. In 2003, the college got the autonomous status to decide its own curriculum and its financial and administrative matters.
