- The Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board was established in
1949 under the visionary leadership of late Barrister Hotchand Advani
and Principal K. M. Kundnani.
- The educational institutions under the board rapidly grew into an
impressive agglomeration encompassing various branches of knowledge. In
the year 1983, a valuable feather was added to its cap in the form of an
engineering college and, with the present scenario, institutions under
the HSNC Board represent an ideal university setup within the aegis of
the University of Mumbai.
- Since 1989 Prof. Kranti Kumar is the Principal of the
college.
- With generous donations from Mumbai based philonthrophist K. T.
Shahani, Thadomal Shahani Engineering College (TSEC) was born and on
October 1, 1983 it admitted its first batch of one hundred and eighty
students.
- Anticipating growing demands from the industry in upcoming
disciplines of engineering and technology, TSEC soon established
departments of Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Chemical
Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.
- Till 1989, TSEC was housed in a picturesque location facing the
Arabian Sea at Worli.Then it was shifted to its present location at
Bandra.
- Realising that floor space is a costly commodity in a city like
Mumbai, every square inch of the college building is utilised most
judiciously and rather optimally, thus providing all modern educational
amenities and infrastructure.
- TSEC is an affiliate to the University of Mumbai and it has earned
recognition from AICTE (Government of India).
- It has been awarded national level accreditation by the Institute of
Engineers (India).
- TSEC is housed in a six-storey building and on any normal working
day, it engages over a thousand students.
- The present faculty strength is about eighty five and there are
roughly one hundred supporting staff members.
- The college faculty is well qualified and experienced; some of them
hold the Doctorate and the Master of Engineering degrees.
- The respective laboratories in all departments are well equipped and
we constantly strive to bring in state-of-the-art experimental
set-ups.
- Over the years, our examination results have been among the best in
the university and very often, our students top the merit list in the
University of Mumbai.
- As far as extra curricular activities are concerned, we have reason
to be proud on several counts. In 1990 a student branch of IEEE(USA) was
established at TSEC which has presently grown into four chapters
- Computer Engineering
- Communication Engineering
- Industrial Electronics
- Engineering in Medicine and Biology.
- Under the continued guidance of a Branch Counsellor, IEEE has
regularly organised seminars and invited talks, paper contests and
techno-quiz competitions, industrial visits and project-mania
exhibitions.
- The excellent work done by our student branch has been
internationally recognised on two occasions : the Vincent Bendix Award
of Allied Corporation (USA) in 1991and Outstanding Branch Counsellor
Region 10 (Asia Pacific) Award in 1996.
- TSEC also has active chapters of IIche, IE(I) and ISTE . Our
students regularly participate in competitions held by other
professional bodies and very often they bring laurels to TSEC.
- In the inter-collegiate sports and cultural competitions, TSEC
students have created an indelible mark.
- Last year we won the prestigious Literary Trophy at Malhar and this
year placed third overall at the popular college festival.
- The college awards a number of prizes to its students such as gold
medals instituted in the names of Barrister H.G. Advani and Principal K.
M. Kundnani for the best all rounder boy and girl students and topper in
each class in each examination. These prizes are given away at the
annual day function.
- TSEC boasts of an orchestra and two of our students are national
level badminton champions.
- Outside the college too, our students perform their social
obligations remarkably well. We often come across media reports such as
TSEC student returns huge cash found in train compartment, TSEC students
- youngest girl driver and navigator in car rally, TSEC student -
saviour to industrialist's bereaved family, TSEC student elected to US
university senate and so on.
- The TSEC faculty and its employees do regularly contribute to the
betterment of the institution.
- In order to update their technical expertise and to learn new
pedagogical skills, the college regularly sponsors the faculty to attend
refresher conferences and higher degree programs at premier institutions
all over India.
- A few faculty members have presented papers at renowned conferences.
Some senior teachers are often invited to present their papers at
seminars and conferences. A couple of short term courses and seminars
have been held successfully at TSEC. Through projects and consultation,
faculty generates valuable technical information. Some of our laboratory
staff have attended refresher courses conducted by other universities in
India.
- In addition to modern academic laboratories , TSEC also boasts of
many other amenities. The college library stocks around ten thousand
titles (text books and reference books). We regularly subscribe to 150
renowned technical journals especially all IEEE publications. TSEC
houses an air-conditioned Seminar Hall equipped with modern projection
facilities. To facilitate on-campus emplyment for the outgoing students,
TSEC has a full time Training and Placement Officer.
- Our students occupy important technical and managerial positions in
reputed industrial houses all over India.
- Shri Ashok Advani and Principal J. K. Bhambhani, President and
Secretary of the HSNC Board respectively take a keen interest in the
development of TSEC.
- The college regularly updates its stock of laboratory equipment and
library books. For the benefit of the students and the employees,
through its Academic Committee, HSNC Board has opened new vistas in
International Education.
- The management has immediate plans to augment the floor space .In
fact, AICTE has already approved a new degree program in information
