We are a bunch of engineering prodigies who have graduated from their exceptional alma-mater "GCECT—Government College of Engineering & Ceramic Technology" and belong to a generation spanning over 8 decades till recent times! We are the coveted alumni of GCECT and, through our "GCECT Alumnus", we strive to connect to the world a community of technologists, business leaders, and academicians, primarily with the background of Ceramic Science, Glass and Refractories, Computer Science, and Information Technology. We celebrate our legacy for decades; we take pride in our extraordinary bond among seniors, juniors, and students; and we cherish our industry network that we created by bridging the generations.

About the Institute:

The Government College of Engineering & Ceramic Technology, GCECT (formerly known as the College of Ceramic Technology), was established in the year 1941 in Kolkata, India, as the Bengal Ceramic Institute, by the distinguished Professor Sasadhar Ray. In the year 1962, a B. Sc. (Tech.) Degree Course in Ceramic Technology was introduced under the affiliation of the University of Calcutta, followed by a B. Tech. Degree under the West Bengal University of Technology(presently Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, West Bengal) (affiliated to A.I.C.T.E., New Delhi). For many years, the Institute belonged to one of the rare technology disciplines that groomed graduates in Ceramic Technology for the ceramic and materials science fraternity in India. With time, the institute has seen the addition of two new B.Tech courses, namely, Information Technology and Computer Science & Engineering, in the years 2000 and 2001 respectively. The Institute also offers M. Tech. Degrees in Ceramic Technology and Information Technology. Recently, the institute received an "A" grade certification from the National Accreditation Assessment Council (NAAC).
