College of Technology and Agriculture Engineering is established as a constituent educational institution of the prestigious Agriculture University, Jodhpur in the academic year of 2020-21 at Jodhpur.
About Agriculture Engineering
Agricultural engineering is the field of study and application of engineering science and design innovations that takes a strongly multidisciplinary approach to resolving agricultural problems. It is a key discipline for sustainable agriculture to deliver global food security. With the advancement of agriculture, Agricultural Engineering education has also been gradually developed and taken a definite shape through the inclusion of theoretical as well as practical courses in multidirectional fields. Agricultural engineering integrates engineering and agricultural science knowledge and skill to develop technology and process to raise the production and productivity of agriculture through efficient utilization of natural resources and conserving the same for future use. It dynamically addresses issues relevant to the social and technological development of the country.
B. Tech Agri Engg. Course
B. Tech. in Agriculture Engineering (Agri. Engg.) is a 4-year undergraduate program, which is fully residential. The 4-year period is divided into 8 semesters each of 6 months duration. In each semester, students have to face different sets of theoretical subjects as well as practical and lab sessions. The Agricultural Engineering program combines the concepts and techniques of agriculture, modern technology, and engineering practices. It can be said that the program is an amalgamation of more than one discipline viz. plant/agriculture sciences, environmental science, core engineering branches (civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics and computer), modern agricultural technology, etc.
Agricultural Engineering embraces the following five major disciplines:

1. Farm Machinery and Power Engineering (FMPE)
2. Agricultural Processing and Food Engineering (APFE)
3. Soil and Water Conservation Engineering (SWCE)
4. Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (IDE)
5. Renewable Energy Engineering (REE)

Dr. Chandan Roy was born on 25th December, 1983 in the state of Tripura. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree from Central Agricultural University, Imphal and MSc and PhD in the department of Genetics and Plant Breeding from G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar. He has joined Agriculture University, Jodhpur on 26.03.2022, earlier he has served Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur during 2012-2022. An early cauliflower variety Sabour Mukta, released by CVRC for Zone V (Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Chhattisgarh) was developed by him. A wheat genotype BRW 3806 (INGR21017) highly resistant to wheat blast disease has been registered in his credit. He has served as a member of expert committee of PPV&FR Authority, New Delhi for registration of EDVs under PPV&FR Act-2001 during 2017-2019. Under his leadership seven farmer varieties from Bihar and two breeders’ variety got registered under PPV&FR Act-2001. He has been at CIMMYT, Mexico for training on wheat breeding and pathology. He has published several research papers in the journals of national and internationally repute including Frontiers Plant Science, Theoretical and Applied Genetics, Plants, Genes, Euphytica, Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, etc., three books, five book chapters and several articles and reports.
