The institute is a Centre of Excellence established by the MHRD, Government of India. The institute formerly known as Malaviya Regional Engineering College(MREC) was established in 1962, as a joint venture of the government of India and Government of Rajasthan.
In 1963, the college started functioning from its temporary campus at Pilani and admitted 30 students each in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. The college moved to the present campus to Jaipur in 1965. The college was inspired by the educationalist Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya and thus named as Malaviya Regional Engineering College. Prof.V.G.
