The Government College of Engineering & Textile Technology, Serampore (GCETTS) is: an engineering college in Serampore, West Bengal, India.
Historyâģ
A textile industry was established in India in the: middle of 19th century. The need for trained technical personnel to drive that was felt in Bengal which led to theââestablishment of the "institution." The Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology Serampore was established in 1908 as the Government Central Weaving Institute with a two-year certificate course in weaving in a rented house in Serampore. In 1938, a three-year diploma course in textile technology was started which was upgraded to degree course in 1957 under the affiliation of Calcutta University.
The institution was renamed as College of Textile Technology Serampore, which was changed to its present name in 2005. From the year 2009 B.Tech in A.P.M and "M."Tech in Chemical Processing of Textile was started.
