Government College of Engineering, Salem - 11, was started during the Third Five Year plan in the year 1966 and is located on a beautiful 162 hectares site surrounded by hills. This was then the third government engineering institution in Tamil nadu. The first batch of students was selected for the academic year 1966 - 67 for courses in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering. In the year 1973 - 74, the Metallurgical Engineering branch was started. Electronics and Communication branch was introduced in the year 1985 - 86. Computer Science engineering course was introduced in the year 2001.

M.E., Civil (Structural Engineering), M.E.,Mechanical(CAD), M.E., Mechanical(Thermal Engineering), M.E., Electrical & Electronics (Power Electronics & Drives) and M.E., Metallurgy (Welding Technology) are offered as self supporting courses. Part time B.E.,courses are also offered in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering and Electronics and Communication Engineering. The departments of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Chemistry and Maths have been granted recognition for guiding research work leading to Ph.D. under Anna University.

The Government College of Engineering is a Regional Center for Anna University for Ph.D., and M.S., program mes. The Government College of Engineering is the zonal office for the conduct of Anna University Examinations in the 21 colleges belonging to this zone. Our Institution is one of the eleven technical Institutions of Tamil nadu selected for World Bank financial assistance under Technical Education Quality Improvement Program me (TEQIP). The Institution has received an approval for a Sum of Rs. 10.967 cores as life time allocation for the project implementation spread over a period of four years from 2003 to 2007.

The existing buildings consist of the Civil Engineering Block, the Computer Science Engineering Block, the Electronics & Communication Engineering Block, the Electrical & Electronics Engineering Block, the Mechanical Engineering Block, the Metallurgical Engineering Block, the Physical Education Block, the Administrative Block, the Library Block, the Canteen, the Health Center, the Planetarium, seven Hostel Blocks, five messes, the Recreation Halls and the residential accommodation for the staff members of the college. During the past 39 years, the various departments have not only established themselves but also equipped their laboratories sufficiently to cater to the needs of the various undergraduate, postgraduate courses and research program mes that are offered. Computer facilities are available in all the Engineering departments. A large numbers of students of all branches are increasingly being placed in leading companies thanks to the role of the placement cell.

The Government College of Engineering is thus growing from strength to strength and gaining recognition for its contribution to the cause of engineering education.
