The college was established in 1994 under the banner of LTJSS. The institute is named after the Indian freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak; an eminent, mathematician, great educationist and social reformer.
Founded in 1983 by Dr. Satish Chaturvedi, LTJSS is a corpus of 30 institutions(engineering, architecture, pharmacy) across India. Other institutions under the LTJSS umbrella include Priyadarshini College of Engineering, an A+ grade NAAC accredited university in Nagpur, and Priyadarshini Institute of Engineering and Technology.
Initially, undergraduate engineering comprised Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer engineering tracks. In 2001, LTCE added the Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering department. Postgraduate programs were offered around the mid-2010's. In 2020, three new Computer Science and Engineering specialized departments were introduced due to the growing demand for AI and IoT:
- Data Science
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- IoT and Cyber Security including Block Chain Tech
Admission Criteria
Admissions to First Year B.E.
Admissions to the BTech program are based on MHT-CET score, followed by CAP Counselling, which is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Mumbai. The institute-specific qualifying cutoff is announced after the declaration of MHT-CET results to manage the seat allotment process. The seat allotment process is based on the college cutoff and the candidate's preference for courses and colleges. The cut-offs are generally declared in two rounds of CAP Counselling based on closing ranks for each of the BTech specializations. The cutoffs are released for the home state (Maharashtra) and All India candidates, which are further divided into GOPENS, LOPENS, MI, and TFWS categories.
