This department is the common entry point for all the students of the under-graduate programmes of engineering.

The department has lecturers and professors to teach English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry subjects with engineering orientation. The first year curriculum has foundation level engineering courses too, viz. Basic Civil Engineering, Basic Mechanical engineering, Basic Electrical Engineering, and Basic Electronics Engineering. In addition to these,the students get training in laboratory practices in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Drawing and Engineering Workshop. The engineering subjects are taught by the respective engineering faculty. The laboratories and workshops are fully equipped to give the required training practice to the students. The hands-on training in the basic science and engineering practices give the students a first-hand feel of engineering shop practice.

The closely supervised practical sessions that entail necessary tools and apparels, help the students develop an engineering character - a prime object of the entire study.
