Established by the Mahindra Group, in collaboration with École Central Paris (now CentraleSupélec) - a 180 year old leading French institution, and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Hyderabad, MEC aims at fostering the growth of an industry ready talent pool in next generation technologies.

Established in 2014, MEC offers programmes in computer science, electrical and electronics, mechanical and civil engineering. MEC's focus has been on shaping engineers who are imbued with industry-ready skills and abilities. Nearly 90 per cent of the graduating students who opted for placement assistance have already secured placement through campus drives; whilst others have been selected through off campus mode at over 35 Indian and International organizations across various industry sectors. These include recruiters like Microsoft, Ground Inc., Forum8, L&T, ZS Associates, Meteopole, GAP Inc., Mahindra & Mahindra, Raheja, Shapoorji Pallonji, Sterlite, Voltas, Faurecia, KPIT, Byjus, Mahindra Comviva, Synopsys, and Tech Mahindra.

This is in addition to the IEEE Conference being organized on Machine Learning & Data Science - in association with the University of Florida and with technical inputs from Tech Mahindra.

Set in a sprawling 130-acre green campus replete with the latest technology backbone, high-end laboratories, workshops and recreational areas, MEC was set up with the overarching idea of creating ''New Engineers'' - leaders who accept no limits, entrepreneurs who drive positive change, and innovators who think alternatively, to solve today's problems. This philosophy is a DNA level fusion of both the École Centrale ethos and the Mahindra Rise philosophy.
