The Watumull Institute of Electronics Engineering and Computer Technology is an engineering college in Ulhasnagar, Thane District.It has been approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
WIEECT was established in 1980 as postgraduate three years integrated engineering diploma which later converted to degree B.Sc.(Tech) for B.Sc.(Physics/Maths/Electronics) student. Since 1984 this institute produced excellent technocrats who created WIEECT's identity in top notch industries in India and abroad.
From year 2002 onwards WIEECT offers a four-year bachelor of engineering courses in Computer, Electronics & Telecommunication, Bio-medical and Instrumentation streams. Its active student community hosts branches of several professional societies including IEEE, CSI, IETE, ISA etc.
Getting Admission[edit]
Students can join the college for the First Engineering (F.E.) batch, based on the following two criteria,
a)Their score in the MHT-CET (for Maharashtra students)
b) Their score in the JEE Mains (for others).
