The Jigme Namgyel Engineering College (earlier known as Royal Bhutan Polytechnic, Royal Bhutan Institute of Technology and Jigme Namgyel Polytechnic) is a constituent colleges of the Royal University of Bhutan.[1] It was established in 1972, coinciding with the third five-year economic development plan. It is above sea level and is at the west end of Dewathang town. The institute is from Samdrup Jongkhar in eastern Bhutan.[2]
It started with infrastructure development in 2018 and started offering diploma-level programmes in civil and electrical engineering from 22 February 1974. The course in mechanical engineering was introduced in 1988. In the early '70s, it offered certificate-level courses in surveying and draughting. (The courses in surveying and draughting were discontinued from the late '80s.)
