1. About the Institute

Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology established in year 2009 by Shree G. N. Patel

Education & Charitable Trust, is recognized by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)

New Delhi and affiliated to Gujarat Technological University (GTU). The Institute is proud to have

team of dedicated faculties and is committed to give world–class infrastructure and educational

environment so that students can reach their full potential in their chosen discipline as well as an

individual. Presently institute offers graduate and post graduate programs in disciplines of Civil,

Mechanical, Computer, Electronics & Communication, and Electrical Engineering.

2. About the Department

Department of Electrical Engineering is part of the Institute since 2010 and has current intake of

60 undergraduate and 18 postgraduate students. Department has state-of-the-art infrastructure

and a team of qualified, experienced and industry linked faculties. The Department also runs

Energy Management Cell (EMC), as an independent unit, that offers services and solutions in key

areas of Energy Audit, Power Quality Audit, Electrical Safety Audit, Thermography, Solar power

plant EPC and other consultancy services. The Department holds seven licenses/approvals from

State and Central Government and has successfully completed 850+ consultancies and

collaborative projects with Government and private organizations and industries. In past few

years the Department has received project grant of Rs. 45+ lac from Government agencies like

GEDA, PPDC, NSDC, AICTE, etc.

One of the major areas of work at the Department is solar and other renewable energy sources.

50 kWp roof top solar plant at the Institute is installed, operated and maintained by the

Department. In addition to this the Department has carried out 450+ solar plant feasibility survey

and completed 6+ projects on solar power plant. The department runs Center for Suryamitra Skill

Development program approved by National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) and Ministry of New

and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and has conducted number of training programs.
