| Motilal Nehru Regional Engineering College was established in 1961. Allahabad University also had a Department of Electronics & Communication (J.K. Institute of Applied Physics & Technology) engineering college but MNREC was started with two other branches of engineering - Civil & Mechanical. The foundation stone was laid by [[Jawaharlal Nehru]], the first Prime Minister of India, and the institute was named after his father, lawyer, and freedom fighter, [[Motilal Nehru]]. The founding principal of the college was Gopal Kishore Agrawal. It has great historical importance.

The institute was the first in the country to offer an undergraduate program in [[Computer Science and Engineering]], which was started in 1976. In 1982-83 undergraduate programs in Electronics Engineering, and Production and Industrial Engineering were started.
| |
|
| |
| Postgraduate programs were introduced in 1970-71 with master's degree courses in all engineering departments. The institute now offers M. Tech. degree programs, MCA, M. Sc Mathematics and Scientific Computing courses and registers candidates for Ph. D. degrees. The institute has been recognized by the Government of India as a center for the quality improvement program in Civil and Mechanical Engineering. The institute started a two-year/four semesters postgraduate degree in Management Studies in 1996. The institute added undergraduate programs in Chemical Engineering and BioTechnology in 2006.
| |
