PART I : GENERAL
Location
1.
The College is located astride the old Pune - Nasik Highway (the main road) and
close to the River Mula. If you mull for a moment, you will realise that the college has
been established following the principles of not just ancient townships, but the best of
civilisations itself, that is, ideal climate and proximity to water and routes of
communications. CME too has really lived up to its inception philosophy by being not
just a college, but also a civilisation by itself.
History
2.
In 1934, the first Indian Engineer officers (after training at the Royal Military
Academy, Woolwich) were given instruction in Military Engineering at the School of
Military Engineering, Chatham. As the requirement of Engineer Officers increased
during World War - II, Officer Cadet Training units were established at the three
Engineer Centres at Bangalore, Roorkee and Kirkee, where cadets were given military
as well as field engineering training.
3.
After World War-II, it became evident that centralised training of officers and
other ranks of the Corps was essential. Therefore, it became necessary to find a home
for the School of Military Engineering. The School started functioning in Thomson
College, Roorkee during November 1943. After careful consideration, to cater for its
expansion, the present site at Pune was selected. By end 1947, the School of Military
Engineering started moving to its new location at Pune and completed the move by mid
1948.
4. In November 1951, in view of the increased responsibilities and training facilities
provided at the School, it was decided to change its name to ‘College of Military
Engineering’, in keeping with the higher status of the Degree Engineering Courses
and recognition by the Institution of Engineers (India). Work on permanent construction
commenced in 1948 and most of the accommodation was completed by 1958. Rapid
expansion of the College took place after 1963 to cater for the increased intake
necessitated by the expansion of the Army.
5.
Alma Mater of all Engineer Officers, CME is one of the Category ‘A’
establishments of the Army, under the Army Training Command (ARTRAC). CME has
a role encompassing training, advisory, projects and research and experimentation for
