President’s Message

To support the cause of technical education in the state of Punjab, the SGPC – a religious body, known as the mini parliament of the Sikh community, established its 2nd Engineering College at Fatehgarh Sahib in the year 1993 in the name of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur – the great warrior, who laid to rest the tyranny of the Mughals uprooting their empire. The institute is being run by Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Education Trust, Fatehgarh Sahib under the patronage of the SGPC. In a period of around 24 years the college has fully developed into a well-known engineering institute and now it is considered as one of the leading institute in the country for imparting high quality technical education and providing top class amenities & facilities. It has the honour of being the first institute affiliated with PTU to get its course accredited by the NBA- the hallmark of quality education, infrastructure, facilities, amenties etc. The college has state-of-the-art infrastructure highly qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty. It is the first college in PTU to start B.Tech. Agriculture Engineering.

To cater to the need of diploma-level technical education in the area, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Polytechnic College was set up at Fatehgarh Sahib in 2006. The college provides modern infrastructural and technological support to facilitate teaching, learning and overall development of students. The college education system looks beyond employment and concentrates on individual development by imparting them skills for life time relevance. Academic excellence and holistic education define learning at the college. Within a period of 10 years, it has become one of the most sought-after institute for admission.

Considering the need and demand of the area, Baba Banda Singh Armed Forces Preparatory Academy was established at Fatehgarh Sahib in April 2016 for training the selected young boys and girls from Punjab for permanent commission into the armed forces through the National Defence Academy. From 2017 session, a graduate plus integrated course is commencing for girls preparing them for Women Entry Scheme into Defence Forces as Officers through SSCW (NT) scheme.

The students joining these prestigious instituion would get quality education & training with top-class facilities & amenities and, I am sure, they would become good citizens and contribute to the welfare of humanity.

Secretary’s Message

We have witness phenomenal growth in technical education in the country, in recent times. This has been possible mainly by the the private sector institutions off-loading the government expenses and contributing immensely to the growth of technical education at diploma, under-graduate and post-graduate level. The massive turnout from these institutions provided the much needed professional manpower to boost the economy. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Engineering College and Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Polytechnic College, known as top-class sikh minority institutes, came into existence in the year 1993 and 2006 respectively at Fatehgarh Sahib, the most precious and sacred land in the world, where the younger Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh ji – Baba Zorawar Singh ji and Baba Fateh Singh ji were bricked in alive. The main objective of establishing these institutes, under BBSB Education Trust, by the SGPC was to uplift the regional students, who were deprived of engineering education opportunities as compared to their counterparts in the other states. The college campus exhibits professional environment prevailing among the students and the faculty. The labs, equipped with the latest set-ups of international repute, reflect our professional commitment to the industry. You will be amazed to see how beautiful the institution has created the facilities for the students – every aspect has been taken care of as far as the all-round development of the students is concerned.

To provide guidance, motivation and training along with formal education to the youth to join armed forces, where the strength of Sikh Officers has drastically reduced, BBSB Armed Forces Preparatory Academy was started in April 2016 at Fatehgarh Sahib. The Academy conducts two integrated courses – NDA with 10+2 for male students and WES with Graduation for female students. To achieve the aim of the Academy, a team of experienced & expert faculty and trainers along with a team of advisors from Armed Forces, has been appointed.

I wish all the students achieve excellence in their respective areas and bring name & frame to their Alma mater.
