Society of St. Francis Xavier, Pilar’s Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering
Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering (Fr. CRCE) is a promontory autonomous institution with NAAC accredited grade A. It is located on the waterfront in the heart of Mumbai and is one of the most prestigious private engineering colleges. Our autonomy synergizes a great opportunity to design and implement a curriculum sensitive to the needs of learners, Indian society, and industries. The Institute dedicates itself to transforming engineering education through its unique approach to continuous advancements in technology and holistic development. Stepping into education with an orphanage (Bal-Bhavan) and a trade school in carpentry, the Agnel Ashram (set up in 1957 at Bandra, Mumbai) has today deep-dyed a full-fledged technical complex. The Institute today, proudly bears the founder’s name as a fitting tribute to his impassioned faith in highly qualified and fully trained engineers and technicians in the service of the nation.
The Institute started with only one programme in Production Engineering in 1984 with an intake capacity of 60 students. In 1987, the programme in Electronics Engineering started with an intake capacity of 60 students, followed by Computer Engineering in 1991 with an intake capacity of 60 students.

We pledge to effectively implement the UGC Regulations and NEP 2020, adhering to its spirit. We are pleased to offer our holistic curriculum for 2024-28, which is based on recent recommendations from the GR and is known as the “H-Tree Model” of Engineering Education. A unique “H-Tree Model” of Engineering Education Curriculum is carefully designed to systematically develop the IQ (Intelligence Quotient), PQ (Physical Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), and SQ (Spiritual Quotient) of a learner. This curriculum aims to develop an all-rounded personality with a holistic approach to education in which the learner receives equally teacher-led learning, peer learning, self-learning, and experiential learning. The curriculum model is outcome based and focuses on learning by doing. The curriculum is designed to provide multiple learning opportunities for students to acquire and demonstrate competencies for rewarding careers. It ensures multiple choices for learners acquiring skills through systematic planning. It has seven verticals aligned to GR recommendations with a strong science and mathematics foundation and program core, a sequel of electives, Multidisciplinary Minor courses, humanities & management courses, and sufficient experiential learning through projects and semester-long industry/research internships, along with employable skill-based courses. Learners get an opportunity to acquire skills through NSDC aligned courses during summer vacations. The learner also gets an additional option to choose the kind of degree, i.e., Honors, Double Minor, or Honors with Research.

We are pleased to offer our holistic curriculum for 2024-28, which is based on recent recommendations from the GR and is known as the “H-Tree Model” of Engineering Education. A unique “H-Tree Model” of Engineering Education Curriculum is carefully designed to systematically develop the IQ (Intelligence Quotient), PQ (Physical Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), and SQ (Spiritual Quotient) of a learner. This curriculum aims to develop an all-rounded personality with a holistic approach to education in which the learner receives equally teacher-led learning, peer learning, self-learning, and experiential learning. The curriculum model is outcome based and focuses on learning by doing. The curriculum is designed to provide multiple learning opportunities for students to acquire and demonstrate competencies for rewarding careers. It ensures multiple choices for learners acquiring skills through systematic planning. It has seven verticals aligned to GR recommendations with a strong science and mathematics foundation and program core, a sequel of electives, Multidisciplinary Minor courses, humanities & management courses, and sufficient experiential learning through projects and semester-long industry/research internships, along with employable skill-based courses. Learners get an opportunity to acquire skills through NSDC aligned courses during summer vacations. The learner also gets an additional option to choose the kind of degree, i.e., Honors, Double Minor, or Honors with Research.
Dear Students, Parents and esteemed stake-holders

CRCE has an extremely motivated and qualified teaching fraternity who are not just good teachers but also excellent mentors. The college has well-equipped laboratories which are regularly upgraded to keep the learners updated with the latest technologies.
At CRCE, we recognize the fact that with the fast changes in the world around us, we need to continuously adapt in every aspect, be it the teaching process itself or by integrating activities to make the learner ready for a competitive world. The curriculum has been carefully curated to ensure good conceptual base and elective subjects which can be chosen as per the learner’s interests. The curriculum has been drafted with the guidelines of National Educational Policy (NEP) 2020.
