Industry Sponsored Laboratories provides students as well as faculty members to perform practicals on current technologies running in the market which encourages them to carry out industry-sponsored research-oriented projects.

The department has the following Industry sponsored Laboratories

• Engine and Fuel Research Lab
• AICTE IDEA Lab @ DKTE
• BOSCH Rexroth Industrial Automation Lab
• “SMART FOUNDRY”

The following table gives details of different numbers of Kit/Board received from respective industries with an approximate cost

To build good rapport between the industry and the institute, department have Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the industries. This provides industry support to department in regards to industrial training, curriculum designing, conducting guest lectures, sponsoring projects and other related to academic.
