The College of Military Engineering (CME), Pune, hosted a scroll presentation ceremony on July 10, 2025, marking the successful graduation of 159 students from its Diploma courses in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The ceremony also celebrated the completion of training by six international students from Lesotho, Mauritius, Nepal, and Senegal, highlighting CME’s growing role in global military education.
Major General Gaurav Kaushal, Deputy Commandant and Dean of CME, delivered the valedictory address, emphasizing the critical role of technical knowledge and professionalism in military engineering. He encouraged the graduates to perform their duties with integrity, innovation, and a strong sense of responsibility, aligning with the institution’s long-standing commitment to excellence.
One of the key highlights of the event was the exhibition of student projects, which showcased their hands-on skills, problem-solving capabilities, and creative approaches to engineering challenges. These projects are part of CME’s practical curriculum and reflect the rigorous training provided at the institute. The college is accredited by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). It also holds an ‘A’ grade accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).
Founded in 1943 as a training school in Roorkee and later relocated to Pune, CME has developed into a premier centre for technical and tactical education for the Indian Army’s Corps of Engineers. The institution came under full Indian command in 1932, long before its move to Pune, and has played a vital role in shaping military infrastructure development and combat engineering capability in India.
The participation of international students demonstrates CME’s expanding global reach and its contribution to strengthening military cooperation and knowledge exchange. The scroll presentation concluded with a spirit of pride and purpose, as the graduates now prepare to support military operations and infrastructure projects in both domestic and international contexts.
