ABOUT COLLEGE
Rajkiya Engineering College, Kannauj (RECK) is an institute committed to academic excellence and quality education. Established by the Government of Uttar Pradesh in 2015, RECK began its journey with a single branch, Electrical Engineering, admitting sixty (60) students under the affiliation of Harcourt Butler Technological University, Kanpur (formerly HBTI, Kanpur). In 2016, the college expanded by adding three more branches: Electronics Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Computer Science & Engineering, each with an annual intake of sixty (60) students. Currently, the institute is affiliated with Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow (AKTU).
Prof. (Dr.) M. Z. Khan joined as the founding director in April 2016, guiding the institution toward rapid growth. In July 2017, RECK moved from the HBTU campus to its own fully residential campus at Tirwa, Kannauj, where all academic activities have since been conducted.
The campus offers a planned academic building, workshop, five hostels (three for boys, two for girls), students activity center, college canteen, grocery store, and other recreational facilities. All necessary infrastructure has been developed following AICTE norms.
RECK’s faculty strength consists of twenty-four regular faculty members across four academic departments: Applied Science and Humanities, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Computer Science & Engineering. These faculty members come from institutions of national importance and other prestigious universities. Notably, some RECK faculty members are ranked in the top 2% of scientists globally, as per the Stanford University–Scopus ranking, reflecting the college’s research strength.
The student achievements at RECK are equally commendable. Many students have published high-impact research papers in reputed international journals and conferences, demonstrating the institute’s growing research culture. Several students have also achieved outstanding scores in the GATE exam, enabling them to pursue higher education at top institutes like IITs and IIITs.
The placement record at RECK is excellent, with an average package of 5–6 LPA, and students placed in reputed national and multinational companies. The college’s strong academic environment, combined with its focus on research, innovation, and industry collaboration, has rapidly positioned it as a rising star among engineering colleges in the region.
