Govind Ballabh Pant Engineering College (also referred to as GBPEC or, colloquially, Pant) is a public engineering college located in Okhla, Delhi, India. It was established in 2007 by the Directorate of Training and Technical Education of the Delhi Government. The college is affiliated to the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University in Delhi.
As compared to the sanctioned intake in degree-level courses of engineering in metropolitan cities, Delhi had the lowest intake among Bangalore, Mumbai and Kolkata. Therefore, the need for further growth of educational facilities in engineering and technology at the degree level was felt.
The college was inaugurated by Smt. Sheila Dikshit in August 2007. Smt. Dikshit said, "Setting up of the Govind Ballabh Pant Engineering College in the campus of the Govind Ballabh Pant Polytechnic Institute in the year 2007, is a part of this endeavor of the Government of Delhi".
The college covers an area of around 2 acres in Okhla Industrial Estate - III, Delhi, India on the sidelines of Aravali Hills, adjoining the Govind Ballabh Pant Polytechnic Institute and Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology near Kalkaji Temple on Maa Anandamayi Marg, Kalkaji, Okhla, Delhi. It shares its boundaries with the Govind Ballabh Pant Polytechnic Institute and IIIT Delhi.
