A BRIEF HISTORY
Fr. Agnel Ashram was founded on June 9, 1957 in
Bandra, Mumbai on a piece of land known as
Land's End with the aim of fostering, through
Educational and Charitable Institutions, love and
understanding amongst the people of various
communities of India and contributing towards
India's development and self-reliance. It was named
after the Ven. Fr. Agnelo D'Souza, a Goan Priest who died in odour of Sanctity in 1927.
Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering (Fr. CRCE) was established in
Fr. Agnelo de Souza
1984 as part of Agnel Technical Education Complex at Bandra, Mumbai by the Society
of St. Francis Xavier Pilar, a Public and Charitable Trust.
The College of Engineering is named after the founder of the Ashram, the late Rev. Fr. Conceicao
Rodrigues who was a rare visionary and freedom fighter possessed with unbounded
energy and resoluteness of purpose. Under the inspiration of this charismatic
founder, the Agnel Fathers realized that their contribution to the process of nation
building would be through the spread of facilities for Technical Education. The Agnel
Fathers accordingly acquired experience in providing technical education facilities
through the establishment of Agnel Technical Education Complexes in different
parts of the country namely Bandra (Mumbai), Vashi (Navi Mumbai), Verna (Goa),
and New Delhi (Noida). Each unit imparts Technical Education at various levels viz.
Skilled Trades, Technicians and Engineers.
Fr. Agnel Ashram at Bandra, Mumbai, started with Fr. Agnel BalBhavan, an
Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues Orphanage and a Technical school in carpentry in 1957. It has today grown into a
full-fledged Technical Education Complex with Industrial Training Institute, Polytechnic and
Engineering College, along with a School (KG to Junior College).
Though Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues did not live long enough to see his dream come true in the form of the
College of Engineering at Bandra, the clearance for this college was obtained due to his untiring efforts
just a day before his sudden demise in 1984. The college today proudly bears his name as a fitting
tribute to his impassioned faith in well qualified and fully trained engineers and technicians in the
service of the nation. The visionary principles on which the institution was founded have been nurtured
and fostered in succeeding years and continue to guide the functioning of the college even today.
Fr. CRCE, came into existence with only one course in Production Engineering with an intake capacity
of 60 students. As on today, the Institute offers four Undergraduate Programmes, and two Postgraduate Programmes and one Ph. D. Programme with a total strength of over 1100 students.

the qualifying examination. The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor's degree
would be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate
has obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the
conversion of grades/CGPA to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the
university/ institution from where they have obtained the bachelor's degree. In case the university/
institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would
19

be established by dividing the candidate's CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the
result with 100. In case the percentage of marks in aggregate comes in fraction then percentage of marks
